The Welshman who signed his own Death Warrant. The story of John Jones.

After his defeat in the Civil Wars, King Charles I was put on trial and sentenced to death. John Jones, an army officer and later MP, was the only Welshman who signed the death warrant. Years later, his signature was to seal his own fate.

Very interesting. "Signed his own death warrant" is a good way to describe what happened to him & the other men.
