     William Juxon, 1582-1663
Archbishop of Canterbury
Chaplain to King Charles the First during the Civil War between Puritans and Anglicans.
It was from the hands of Bishop Juxon that King Charles received the Sacrament of Holy Communion before his execution.
Following the beheading of the King, Juxon was prohibited from using the burial service of the Book of Common Prayer by the new Puritan government, and he respectfully declined to make any remarks during the burial. King Charles was laid to
rest in silence.
At the Restoration of the Monarchy and the Episcopate in 1660 Juxon was made Archbishop of Canterbury. However, due to advancing age his tenure as Primate of All England would be a short one.
Although King Charles II had called the Savoy Conference in 1661 to discuss the differences between Puritans and the Church of England, Archbishop Juxon's participation was minimal due to health reasons. He died in 1663, and is remembered as a
faithful servant and pastor to King and country during one of the darkest periods in English history.
