| | Henry Marten (regicide) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Henry Marten (1602 - September 9, 1680), English regicide, was the elder son of Sir Henry Marten, and was educated at University College, Oxford. | | | Through the action, or rather the inaction of the House of Lords, he was spared the death penalty, but he remained a captive, and was in prison at Chepstow Castle when he died on the September 9, 1680. | | | When the Great Rebellion broke out Marten did not take the field, although he was appointed governor of Reading, Berkshire, but in parliament he was very active. |

| | The motion was opposed by Edmund Ludlow and Henry Marten—also members of the high court of justice. | | | Finally, he left his judges with no safe alternative to capital sentence, which was 'resorted unto as the last refuge', as the regicide Thomas Scott recalled a decade later, in 1659. | | | On 9 January, a few days after the Commons had declared itself supreme, Scott, who unlike Marten had declined the opportunity to help draft the Levellers' Agreement, told the majority in favour of admitting messengers sent from the upper House, along with his fellow trial commissioner William Purefoy. |
