Banqueting House When Charles was beheaded on 30 January 1649, a moan was heard from the assembled crowd, some of whom then dipped their handkerchiefs in his blood, thus starting the cult of the "Martyr" King.
The Society of King Charles the Martyr was established in 1894 by one Mrs Greville-Negent, assisted by Fr.
King Charles is regarded as a martyr by some Anglicans for his notion of "Christian Kingship," and as a "defender of the Anglican faith."
