Légende

The Bible used by Charles I, 17th century, (1850). Bible used by Charles I '...on the scaffold, on the day of his martyrdom, January 30, 1649'. It was '...traditionally said to have been used by Charles I. just previous to his death...It will be observed that the cover of the volume is decorated with the badge of the Principality within the Garter, surmounted by a Royal coronet in silver gilt, enclosed by an embroidered border: the initials C.P., apparently improperly altered to an R., and the badges of the Rose and Thistle upon a ground of blue velvet; and the book was, therefore, bound between the death of Prince Henry, in 1612, and the accession of Charles to the throne, in 1625'. Illustration from Smith's "Collectanea Antiqua", published in "Illustrated London News", 1850.
