The Burial, Grave and Mausoleum of King Charles I

#charlesi #windsorcastle #royalfunerals

King Charles I was buried in St George's Chapel Windsor following his execution in January of 1649. In this video using the primary sources, I look at the circumstances of his burial. I then look at the plans from the 1670s to erect a mausoleum to the late king, before an account of the opening of his coffin in 1813.

It hurts my heart to think of the glorious St. George's Chapel being looted and ransacked. 😢

[christinesuccop]

Just amazing as usual. Never knew that about St. George's Chapel, it is so beautiful today. ❤

Someone needs to tell the present King Charles that it's never too late to realise Wren's vision! Allan, I feel lucky to have found your site early on; and am so pleased to hear that you are getting the millions of views you deserve!

Deeply fascinating Allan. It is no wonder so many people are now tuning in to your channel. All your work is so thoroughly researched and beautifully presented.I expect Charles I never imagined he would end up confined with Henry VIII and Jane Seymour!

The damage the Roundheads did to historical items still makes me ill...

Great piece. Thank you.

The greatest tribute to King Charles I, as well as to his his son and namesake, has been the decision of Her Late Majesty to bestow their name on her son and heir, restoring it to full rank for a new era.

Dr. Barton thank you very much for another fantastic history lesson. Beautiful pictures too. Martha

[gammamaster]

Wow! What a statue! Such beautiful symbolism as well. What a pity it was never built!

[newportshapwick]

Very interesting video - thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[deniseatkins]

It would have been a stunning building but in my opinion not in keeping with the chapel. It would have looked fantastic in amongst the other memorials at Frogmore though

I love these historic documentaries. You keep me mesmerized by this history! Thank you.
