Abstract The trial of King Charles I has in the last twenty years been discussed by many scholars. Much less attention has been paid to the evidence of the 33 witnesses summoned to the Westminster Court, yet what they said was the basis of the charges against the king. The first witness, William Cuthbert, was a Yorkshireman from Hull Bridge, Beverley. While the king and royalists alleged that the ‘hostilities’ of the Civil Wars had begun at the Beverley Gate, Hull, this prosecution witness claimed that the breaking, entering and possession of his house near Beverley was ‘the first act of hostility that was committed in those parts.’

“第一次敌对行为”：贝弗利参与审判查理一世

摘要 查理一世的审判在过去二十年里被许多学者讨论过。威斯敏斯特法院传唤的 33 名证人的证据很少受到关注，但他们所说的却是对国王提出指控的依据。第一位证人威廉·卡斯伯特是来自贝弗利赫尔桥的约克郡人。虽然国王和保皇党声称内战的“敌对行动”是在赫尔的贝弗利门开始的，但这位检方证人声称，在贝弗利附近闯入和占有他的房子是“第一次发生的敌对行为”在那些部分。
