John Bradshaw (judge)


 

John Bradshaw (1602-October 31, 1659) was one of the judges to preside over the trial and subsequent death sentence of Charles I of England. In 1649 he was made president of the parliamentary commission to try the king. Other lawyers of greater prominence had refused the position. For a short time he was rewarded with honors and offices and acted (1649?53) as President of the Council of State. He was forced to retire when Oliver Cromwell dissolved the council, and he became an opponent of the Protectorate.
