Pepys Diary Lord Braybrooke( Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd)
p.96: 17/03/1662 Last night the Blackmore pintle brought the three prisoners Barkestead, Okey and CORBET, to the Tower, being taken in Delfe in Holland; where, the Captain tells me, the Dutch were a good while before they could be persuaded to let them go, they being taken prisoners in their land.
p.97: 19/04/1662 This morning, before we sat I went to Aldgate and at the corner shop, a drapers, I stood and did see Barksted, Okey and CORBET drawn towards the gallows at Tyburn; and there they were hung, drawn and quartered. They looked cheerful but I hear they all died defending what they did to the King to be just; which is very strange.'
