Noten

* Kennelijk heeft het hof niet de moeite genomen Charles bij zijn werkelijke titel te noemen. Charles was Koning van Engeland, Ierland en Schotland.

** In die tijd begon het jaar in maart, daarom zou Charles in de huidige jaartelling in 1649 geëxecuteerd zijn.

*** Het is voor een vorst niet mogelijk hoogverraad te plegen, omdat hij zichzelf dan zou hebben moeten verraden.
