Henry Smith (regicide)

Henry Smith (1620–1668) was an English member of parliament and one of the regicides of King Charles I.

His grandfather, Roger Smith, hosted Mary, Queen of Scots, at Withcote on 24 September 1586 as she travelled to Fotheringhay Castle.

[1] Henry Smith studied at Oxford University and Lincoln's Inn.

In January 1649, as a commissioner of the High Court of Justice for the trial of Charles I at the trial of King Charles, he was 19th of the 59 signatories on the death warrant of the King.

He was held at the Tower of London until 1664, and was then transported to Jersey where he is thought to have died in 1668 in Mont Orgueil castle.
