Felton admits that he killed the Duke, 1897. Creator: John Leech

Felton admits that he killed the Duke, 1897. English politician and courtier George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (1592-1628), was adviser to James I and then Charles I. He was murdered by John Felton (1595-1628), a disgruntled Puritan naval officer, who was a member of one of Buckinghams unsuccessful expeditions. Although Felton was a hero in the publics eyes for having killed the hated royal favourite, he was condemned to death and hanged at Tyburn on 29 November 1628. From " The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, with satirical illustrations by John Leech. [Bradbury, Agnew & Co, London, 1897]
