  • Robert Wallop opposed King Charles I during the English Civil War. He was one of the judges at the King's trial, but he did not sign the warrant for execution. At the Restoration, he was barred from the benefits of his estates, degrading him from his gentility, and imprisoned for life. He was also sentenced that on each anniversary of the King's execution to be drawn upon a sledge to and under the gallows of Tyburn with a halter around his neck. He died at the Tower of London in 1667.
