The Treaty House in the town of Uxbridge in the London Borough of Hillingdon on the border with Buckinghamshire in the north-west part of Middlesex. At the end of the High Street on the Oxford Road stands the inn called The Crown and Treaty House. Above the entrance a legend is written, ‘Ancient Treaty House where the ill-fated Charles I held the memorable, but unsuccessful treaty with his Parliament in January 1645’. The negotiations were doomed to failure from the outset due to the attitude of Charles I and his view of divine right.

The negotiations were doomed to failure from the outset due to the attitude of Charles I and his view that he was above and beyond earthly laws. He believed he was put there by God and therefore subjects must obey their king without question.
