On 6th December 1648, Parliamentarian soldiers under the command of Colonel Thomas Pride, evicted MPs who were seen as sympathetic to Charles I. Their removal left a 'Rump' Parliament of hardcore MPs who put the king on trial for his life. The Rump Parliament was later dissolved by Oliver Cromwell in 1653.

Algernon Percy, 10th Earl of Northumberland (1602-68) and Lord High Admiral, became the highest ranking member of Charles' government to side with the Parliamentarians and was made guardian of Prince Henry and Princess Elizabeth after their capture. However, as a member of the Rump Parliament, he was a leading opponent of the king's execution.
