Kidnapping the King

The army has kidnapped the King. Claiming to act in the name of justice, soldiers seize Charles I - an act that horrifies both Parliamentarians and Royalists alike. But while England reels, another kingdom watches closely. What does Scotland make of its King being taken by an English army? In this first episode of a two-part special, we explore how the kidnapping of Charles I set Britain on the road to trial, execution, and profound constitutional change.
