King Charles orders the issuance of an indictment of treason against the "five members" of parliament. The members were John Hampden, Sir Arthur Haselrigg, Denzil Holles, John Pym and William Strode. Hampden died at the Battle of Chalgrove the very next year. Haselrigg fought throughout the war with his regiment of cuirassiers, or "lobster" cavalry. Holles fought at Edgehill, but was later a leading proponent of a negotiated settlement of the war.
Pym was the driving force in Parliamanent to reign in the King, but died two years later of cancer. Strode, after being imprisoned for eleven years at the King's behest, was probably only second in vociferousness in the war party to Pym.
