:14:03
...erect and uphold in yourself
an unlimited and tyrannical power.
:14:08
To rule at your will and overthrow
the rights and liberties of the people.
:14:12
And that you did traitorously
and maliciously levy a cruel war...
:14:18
...against Parliament and the people.
:14:20
And are therefore guilty of all the
treasons, rapings, burnings, spoils...
:14:26
...desolations, damages and mischiefs
to the nation committed in the said war.
:14:31
Thus, on behalf
of the people of England...
:14:34
...this court impeaches you
as a tyrant...
:14:37
...traitor, murderer and public enemy
to the Commonwealth of England.
:14:42
God save the king!
:14:44
Silence!
:14:49
Sir, you have heard
the charges against you.
:14:54
The court expects an answer.
:14:56
First, l would know by what authority,
l mean lawful authority...
:15:02
...l am brought here and carried from
place to place, and l know not what.
:15:06
And by what authority you presume
to sit in judgement on me.
:15:10
Remember, l am your lawful king.
:15:14
Think well upon it.
:15:16
l have a trust committed to me by God,
by old and lawful descent.
:15:21
Therefore, let me know by what
authority l am brought here...
:15:25
...and l shall answer.
:15:27
lt is not for the prisoner
to question the court.
:15:32
l am no ordinary prisoner, sir.
:15:36
An answer, sir,
the court demands an answer.
:15:42
Then l refuse an answer.
:15:44
Sir, you are before a court of justice.
:15:48
Well, sir...
:15:50
...l see that l am before a power.
:15:55
The court will keep silent.
:15:59
Mr. Solicitor General,
are your witnesses prepared?
