Arrest of King Charles I, by George Joyce, 3 June 1647, Holdenby House, also known as Holmby House
Illustration from Cassell's illustrated history of England published circa 1896. Info from wiki: Parliament held Charles under house arrest at Holdenby House in Northamptonshire until Cornet George Joyce took him by threat of force from Holdenby on 3 June in the name of the New Model Army.[243] By this time, mutual suspicion had developed between Parliament, which favoured army disbandment and Presbyterianism, and the New Model Army, which was primarily officered by Independent non-conformists who sought a greater political role.
