Biography
Henry Marten (1602 – 9 September 1680) was a Member of Parliament from Oxford, who sat in the English House of Commons at various times between 1640 and 1653. An ardent republican, he was jailed by Parliament during the First English Civil War in 1643 for demanding the abolition of the monarchy. He approved the execution of Charles I in January 1649 and was found guilty of regicide following the 1660 Stuart Restoration.
Spared execution thanks to his Royalist friends, he was held in captivity until his death at Chepstow Castle in 1680.
