The 'green bags' stoking the flames are the green baize bags of evidence carried into court. Of the sticks of wood fuelling the queen, 'Broom' is obvious, 'Wood' is Sir Matthew, Lord Mayor of London and radical politician, and Bergami is Bartolomeo Pergami, Caroline's Italian factotum (and alleged lover).

A three-quarter-length, portrait of a man, standing, dressed in black with right hand across breast, turned to his right. Behind to the right is a dark curtain and to the left a strip of landscape in which a man is seen escaping from a crocodile which is devouring a second man. Son of Sir Edmund Paston of Paston and Katherine Knyvett of Ashwellthorpe. In 1629 he moved to Oxnead Hall. In 1636/7 he travelled to Jerusalem and Egypt where he experienced the adventure with the crocodile. Created baronet in 1641, he joined the Royalist cause, and was forced into exile in 1643-4 in Holland, where this picture might have been painted by Adriaen Hanneman (1601-71).https://professorhedgehogsjournal.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/oxnead-clement-paston.jpgOxnead Clement PastonThe tomb of Sir Clement Paston at St Michael's church, Oxnead.https://professorhedgehogsjournal.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/oxnead-hall.jpgOxnead-HallOxnead Hall in 1809, by John Adey Repton, son of the more famous Humphry.
