3 unusual facts about David Bandinel


David Bandinel

Sir Philip de Carteret was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Jersey by Charles I, and, although a zealous Protestant, was always an ardent loyalist.

On Carteret's death, in 1643, his son, Sir George Carteret, was appointed by the king lieutenant-governor in his stead, and he gratified at the same time his resentment for the treatment of his father, and his loyal zeal, by arresting Bandinel and his son on a charge of treason.

James I, on the understanding that this arrangement had been formally sanctioned by Elizabeth, confirmed it in the first year of his reign.
