A stained vest said to have been worn by King Charles I when he was beheaded in 1649 is set to go on display in London. The King's execution is a key moment in British history. King Charles I’s Royalists were defeated by Parliament’s forces in the bloody English Civil Wars, which lasted from 1642 to 1651. The pale blue-green silk execution vest has visible stains on its front, according to the Museum of London, which will place the macabre garment on display later this year. Public executions became embedded in the landscape and culture of London, influencing people’s everyday lives.”Follow James Rogers on Twitter @jamesjrogers
