In January of 1649/50, the city of London was still reeling from almost a decade of civil war that had led to the beheading of King Charles I less than a year earlier. Tensions between the Royalist supporters of the new King Charles II and supporters of the Commonwealth government were still high and war still raged in Ireland and Scotland. The old king was dead, but the War of the Three Kingdoms was not yet over.
