His name was William Laud. As Archbishop of Canterbury he was considered High Church or an Anglo-Catholic. This combined with his opposition of radical Puritanism and support for Charles I sealed his fate and he was condemned as a traitor by the Long Parliament. He was executed on 10 January 1645.
Why Was Archbishop of Canterbury William Laud Imprisoned?
Laud was imprisoned because he and Charles I tried to introduce the New English Prayer Book to Presbytarian Scotland. This was rebuked and the Scots rioted. A rebellion arose. Charles couldn't stop the rebellion so in the end he asked Parliament to grant him money. He had ignored them for the past eleven years, see Eleven Year's Tyranny, and MPs were angry. They would only give him the money on certain terms : Strafford executed, Laud sent to the Tower etc. Parliament didn't like Laud because he believed in the Higher Church. The puritan MPs thought this was popish and ungodly. These terms were presented in the Long Parliament.
