@Nanoose Following the Glorious Revolution (1688-1689) and the Bill of Rights in the late 17th century, the British monarchy's power to order executions unilaterally was effectively ended. Executions required a formal indictment, trial, and sentence under the law. All criminal prosecutions were brought in the name of the Crown, but the decisions were made by judges and juries within the legal system, not by the monarch's personal will.
