Synopsis
The beginning of 1642 has seen John Pym spurn the King's attempt to bring him onside with a job offer and now Charles's options are running short. He has just one chance left: arrest Pym and his colleagues. On Monday 3 January, Charles strikes, accusing the 'Five Members' of high treason. The Commons prevaricate. Pym hopes that Charles will throw caution to the wind and resort to violence. Pressure is mounting; rumours of the Queen's imminent impeachment reach Charles. On 4 January, Charles marches on Westminster, backed by 500 troops. Pym, however, has been tipped off by someone on the inside: the Queen's lady-in-waiting, Lucy Hay. She is the viper in the nest. As Charles storms through the front door, Pym and his associates slip out by the back.
