Gregory Clement
Gregory Clement (1594–1660) was an English Member of Parliament and one of the regicides of King Charles I.
Clement was the son of John Clement, a merchant and one time Mayor of Plymouth. After working in India for the British East India Company, Clement returned to London and on outbreak of the Civil War supported Parliament.
In 1648 he became an MP for Fowey in Cornwall. In January 1649, as a commissioner of the High Court of Justice at the trial of King Charles, he was 54th of the 59 signatories on the death warrant of the King — although interestingly his signature appears to have been written over an erased signature.
He was dismissed from the House of Commons in 1652 over a scandal involving his maidservant. This may have been engineered by Thomas Harrison and other political opponents. At the Restoration in 1660, Clement was brought to trial, found guilty and sentenced to death. He was hanged, drawn and quartered at Charing Cross on 17 October 1660.
