Historical Register" of 1896. The accompanying artice states that John
Fenwick played an important part in one of the greatest historical events
that ever happened in England. He was commissioned as major of cavalry,
1648 Jan 13, to be in attendance with his squadron, and, in conjunction
with the foot troops, to protect the scaffold during the execution of
Charles I; which was done 1649 Jan 30. In John Vanderbank's famous

clearly shown, of which the illustration mentioned is a facsimilie, and is
the only known portrait of John Fenwick.
