In the seventeenth century, during England's Civil War, the Puritans captured Sir John Trevanion, a Royalist, and were holding him in a castle in Colchester, a city not too far from London. More than likely, Trevanion was beginning to sweat because he knew that two of his comrades had already made the long walk to the gallows.
