Summary
| Description |
English: Sir Henry Hyde, Son of Laurence Hyde of Salisbury, was a Royalist envoy in Turkey for Charles II. He was arrested in Turkey and brought back to England for trial by the Parliamentarians. He was tried, found guilty and beheaded. His remains are buried in this cathedral. The Latin text reads: "Henry Hyde, Knt. son of Lawrence Hyde, Knt. of the county of Wilts ; about sixteen years Consul in the Morea, founder of a church there; Ambassador of Charles II to the Emperor of the Turks. A man promoted to arduous business and equal to it, being treacherously delivered up into the sacrilegious hands of his inveterate enemies, then setting in council at Westminster,* and found guilty of being in arms for his King, on the 4th Nones of March,1650. He finished his life kissing the axe by which he perished, in the 45th year of his age; being auspiciously and evidently baptised to suffer the envied martyrdom of Charles 1st (in resemblance); a victim of the banished Charles II, and foreteller of his return; being exalted on a high scaffold, with a still higher spirit, he sung this angelic hymn - Glory to God on high, On earth peace. Good will towards Man." |
