00:00But what are we here for? Primarily we are here to remember the judicial murder of William

00:10Dawn, William Christian, shot here or very close to this site in 1663 and it was a judicial

00:21murder. One of the worst things about the Isle of Man today is that you still get this

00:30question mark over what happened and there is no question mark over what happened.

00:36Yes he was in the employ of the Lord of Man at the time who went off fighting the royalist cause

00:44and was leaving the island in the hands of Charlotte de la Tromwey who betrayed his trust

00:58and her duty to the Isle of Man. When I say she betrayed his trust she did actually love the man

01:06but she was willing to sell us quote a penny ahead but surrender never and she was actually

01:12in secret negotiations with the parliamentarians to get me at the back door. Unlike William Dawn

01:19who was called upon by the people to risk his life to raise the Manx militia so that we could

01:28negotiate a peace. Yet again throughout all my life we hear the same bankrupt policy advocated

01:36getting more people trapped and when the chamber of horrors says it won't work

01:46that really tells you all you need to know.
