To Kill a King

England 1645. The nation lies in ruins. The bitter civil war that has divided the country is over. The Puritans have overthrown King Charles I and won their battle against corruption.

Two heroes emerge from the war - they are the leaders of the victorious parliamentary army - Lord General Fairfax and his loyal deputy, General Oliver Cromwell. Their mission is to unite and reform the land. Fairfax, a member of the aristocracy, wants moderate reform of the monarchy. Cromwell, from the working class, demands the execution of the King.
