John Jones Maesygarnedd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Jones (c.1597-1660) was one of the regicides of King Charles I. A brother-in-law of Oliver Cromwell, Jones was from North Wales and is often surnamed Jones Maesygarnedd after the location of his Merionethshire estate. Jones spoke Welsh with his family. He was an avid Republican at a time when most of Wales was Royalist, and for this reason he was described by one of his contemporaries as 'the most hated man in North Wales'. He also had a military command in Ireland (see Wars of the Three Kingdoms).

Like many of the other 59 men who signed the death warrant for Charles I he was in grave danger when Charles II of England was restored to the throne. He was arrested, put on trial, and found guilty. He was hanged, drawn and quartered around October 13, 1660.
