His death and funeral were treated with the same respect afforded to English monarchs before him. On 20 September, his body was moved to Somerset House to lie in state, which was opened to the public on 18 October. The body had been embalmed, shrouded and sealed in a lead coffin, which in turn was placed in a wooden decorated coffin, placed next to a life-like effigy. [10] The effigy was decorated with the royal symbols, including: "a rich Suit of uncut Velvet... laced with a rich gold lace, and furr'd with Ermins; upon the Kirtle is the Royal large Robe of the like Purple Velvet laced, and fur'd with Ermins, with rich strings, and tassels of gold... upon his head, the Cap of Regality of Purple Velvet, furr'd with Ermins... upon the Cushion of the Chair stands the Imperial Crown set with stones."

[42] The skull held by the Ashmolean, reputed to be that of Cromwell, was the head's first rival claim, but the provenance in that instance did not prove to be reputable. The story attached to the Ashmolean skull was that: A search found Bertier in Compiegne at his country estate. He was retrieved and taken by armed horseman to Paris in a cabriolet because the people wanted him to answer for starving the Third Estate. During his return trip, Bertier was noticed because of his escort, and word soon spread that he had been arrested.

In 1642, the King attempted to arrest several members of Parliament on a charge of treason. But rather than hand the men over, many members of Parliament took up arms. Sensing that his support in London was weak, the King fled to the north and communities around the country began to choose sides. By the end of the year, the English Civil War was raging.
