Description
Dispossessed of crown and kingdom, crushed and routed at the grim Battle of Worcester, the young Charles II is forced to flee for his life. Out of the heat of battle, the outlaw King and his tiny party must journey across Cromwell's England to a Channel port and a ship bound for France. But the King, with his love for adventure, his irrepressible humour and his unmistakable looks, is no easy man to hide.--
