The trial of Charles I (said mid-seventeenth-century radical Protestants) was "a Resemblance and Representation of the great day of Judgement." Situating the trial in its theological and iconographic context, viewing it as an expression of broader Puritan performance culture, this essay offers a close reading of its staging, arguing that we should view the assertion that the trial resembled Judgment Day not as an abstract theological aspiration but as a concrete description of the trial's visual, spatial, and dramatic representation of the Last Judgment
