The assassination of Lord Buckingham, c1902. George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham, was stabbed to death by John Felton in Portsmouth on 23 August 1628. Felton, a disgruntled soldier, was a member of one of Buckingham's unsuccessful expeditions - this time against France. Although Felton was a hero in the public's eyes for having killed the hated royal favourite, he was condemned to death and hanged at Tyburn on 29 November 1628.
