1641 - An Argument of Law - The High Treason of Thomas Earl of Stafford

Wentworth was arrested and sent to the Tower of London. The case could not be proved and so his enemies in the House of Commons, led by John Pym and Henry Vane, resorted to a Bill of Attainder. Charles I gave his consent to the Bill of Attainder and Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, was executed on 12th May 1641.
