*******************************************************************************************

Charles II, the Merry Monarch, is determined that his people shall know peace and religious freedom. But the shadows cast over the throne by his son Monmouth and his wayward, Papist brother, the Duke of York, are proving too much for his popularity.

Amidst these dramatic events that ultimately shape Restoration England, our promiscuous regent is often to be found in the company of his many woman, including the ready arms of little Nell Gwyn, his buxom, pretty and witty mistress.
Politics and passion play equal parts in one man - a recipe for success?
The Stuart saga continues with The Three Crowns.
