1
00:00:38,444 --> 00:00:40,353
Is that him?
2
00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:42,690
Yes.
3
00:00:43,616 --> 00:00:45,407
Oliver!
4
00:01:36,377 --> 00:01:38,665
God be with you, Oliver.
And you too, John.
5
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:40,504
This is Henry Ireton, a good friend.
6
00:01:40,714 --> 00:01:42,873
Good day to you, sir. Mr. Ireton.
7
00:01:43,592 --> 00:01:46,130
I've just been taking
a last look at my land.
8
00:01:46,345 --> 00:01:50,010
We had heard you were leaving, Mr.
Cromwell. We came from London directly.
9
00:01:50,224 --> 00:01:52,645
You could have saved yourself
the effort, Mr. Ireton.
10
00:01:52,860 --> 00:01:54,535
If we could discuss
it, Oliver, I'm sure-
11
00:01:54,645 --> 00:01:57,136
There is nothing to discuss, John.
12
00:01:57,356 --> 00:02:01,105
Well, come back to my house.
You've got a long journey back.
13
00:03:38,999 --> 00:03:41,669
You must forgive the manner
of our table, Mr. Pym.
14
00:03:41,877 --> 00:03:44,664
Our best crockery is
packed for the voyage.
15
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,169
Bridget, fetch the bread. Yes, Mother.
16
00:03:47,383 --> 00:03:49,292
We had hoped to persuade your husband
17
00:03:49,511 --> 00:03:51,836
to change his mind about
going to America, ma'am.
18
00:03:52,054 --> 00:03:55,553
I should have thought you would know
Oliver better than that, Mr. Pym.
19
00:03:55,766 --> 00:03:57,558
It was not an easy decision, John.
20
00:03:57,768 --> 00:04:01,018
This is my country, my land.
God has been good to me here.
21
00:04:01,355 --> 00:04:05,934
Then, sir, why are you leaving?
I have a family, Mr. Ireton.
22
00:04:06,361 --> 00:04:08,899
I owe it to my sons to
make a better life for them.
23
00:04:09,113 --> 00:04:11,604
England is no longer a
country for a young man.
24
00:04:11,824 --> 00:04:14,741
I recall you often spoke out
strongly in Parliament for the rights
25
00:04:14,952 --> 00:04:15,983
and privileges of the common people.
26
00:04:16,246 --> 00:04:18,203
Ah.
27
00:04:18,414 --> 00:04:21,415
That was a long time ago, Mr. Ireton.
28
00:04:21,625 --> 00:04:23,285
I had a vision then.
29
00:04:23,502 --> 00:04:24,996
A great nation.
30
00:04:25,212 --> 00:04:30,289
Prosperous, God-fearing,
good laws, strong,
31
00:04:30,509 --> 00:04:32,716
respected throughout the world.
32
00:04:32,928 --> 00:04:35,550
That was the England I dreamed of.
33
00:04:35,806 --> 00:04:39,934
Well, sir, you are a squire
now, a man of property.
34
00:04:40,144 --> 00:04:43,264
Perhaps you no longer
care for the common people.
35
00:04:43,647 --> 00:04:45,770
Perhaps I've been misinformed, sir.
36
00:04:45,984 --> 00:04:49,649
I thought, as a Puritan, you
would see it as your God-given duty
37
00:04:49,862 --> 00:04:53,397
to do the Lord's work in this
land, regardless of sacrifice.
38
00:04:53,616 --> 00:04:58,076
Mr. Ireton, I was fighting for
the liberty of the common people
39
00:04:58,287 --> 00:05:00,196
when you were in knee breeches.
40
00:05:00,915 --> 00:05:03,406
Then why are you leaving?
41
00:05:06,170 --> 00:05:10,583
I am leaving because this country
crawls with greed and corruption.
42
00:05:10,799 --> 00:05:12,591
It is governed by
adventurers and profiteers
43
00:05:12,802 --> 00:05:15,838
who think more of their
pockets than their principles.
44
00:05:16,013 --> 00:05:20,141
I am leaving, sir, because we have a
king who taxes the rich beyond its means
45
00:05:20,351 --> 00:05:22,806
and steals land from
the poor to maintain
46
00:05:22,978 --> 00:05:25,766
his lavish court and his Catholic wife.
47
00:05:26,065 --> 00:05:29,149
Now, when Parliament objected
against these injustices
48
00:05:29,318 --> 00:05:31,275
he closed his Parliament down.
49
00:05:31,445 --> 00:05:34,897
And our man dare not speak his
mind for fear of imprisonment.
50
00:05:35,115 --> 00:05:36,574
Oh, yes.
51
00:05:36,784 --> 00:05:40,734
All my life I believed it was God's
work to fight against such tyranny.
52
00:05:40,955 --> 00:05:47,491
But God has turned his back upon
this nation, and we are leaving it.
53
00:05:48,838 --> 00:05:52,004
And what if Parliament should
be recalled, Mr. Cromwell?
54
00:05:52,216 --> 00:05:55,466
And why should a king do
that? He needs money, Oliver.
55
00:05:56,804 --> 00:06:00,884
What? To build another palace? No.
56
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:03,507
To fight a war.
57
00:06:06,522 --> 00:06:09,392
A war, John?
58
00:06:10,192 --> 00:06:12,399
A war against whom?
59
00:06:12,611 --> 00:06:15,019
The Scots have assembled
and army on our border.
60
00:06:15,198 --> 00:06:17,155
They may invade us at any moment.
61
00:06:17,366 --> 00:06:19,442
The king needs money to raise an army.
62
00:06:19,702 --> 00:06:21,077
Ah.
63
00:06:21,745 --> 00:06:25,446
By the king's own decree, Parliament
has not sat these past 12 years.
64
00:06:25,666 --> 00:06:29,746
And now the king needs money.
Once Parliament has assembled,
65
00:06:29,962 --> 00:06:33,248
it will lie within our power to change
66
00:06:33,465 --> 00:06:36,965
the whole structure of
government in this country.
67
00:06:37,178 --> 00:06:39,578
John, how many times did we sit
in Parliament in the old days
68
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,471
and how many resolutions did we pass?
69
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,214
And how many times did
this king overrule us?
70
00:06:44,436 --> 00:06:46,559
Oh, the king can have
his war with Scotland.
71
00:06:46,729 --> 00:06:49,434
We will be in America. There
will be a war, Mr. Cromwell,
72
00:06:49,607 --> 00:06:52,976
but it will not be with Scotland. Henry.
73
00:06:53,444 --> 00:06:54,606
With whom, Mr. Ireton?
74
00:06:54,778 --> 00:06:56,855
Henry, we have argued
this matter many times.
75
00:06:57,072 --> 00:06:58,072
I'm convinced of it.
76
00:06:58,282 --> 00:07:04,118
A war against whom, Mr.
Ireton? Against the king, sir.
77
00:07:05,831 --> 00:07:07,658
The king?
78
00:07:08,042 --> 00:07:13,036
You mean a civil war? In England?
79
00:07:15,257 --> 00:07:17,794
You know not the ways of
this nation, Mr. Ireton.
80
00:07:17,819 --> 00:07:19,493
Such things do
not happen here.
81
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,389
And in my opinion, it is long overdue.
82
00:07:22,599 --> 00:07:24,722
I will not have such talk in my house.
83
00:07:24,892 --> 00:07:27,348
It is common enough
talk these days, I fear.
84
00:07:27,561 --> 00:07:32,057
Then it is treasonable talk! And
I will not have it in my house!
85
00:07:32,274 --> 00:07:33,996
I mark the time when
you were much against
86
00:07:34,021 --> 00:07:35,502
the king and never
feared to say so.
87
00:07:35,694 --> 00:07:37,983
In truth, there is much in
this king that does offend me.
88
00:07:38,155 --> 00:07:40,289
Yet, with all, I would
not take up arms against
89
00:07:40,314 --> 00:07:42,224
him, and I would oppose
any move to do so.
90
00:07:42,410 --> 00:07:44,487
In such a cause, our swords
will be in God's hands.
91
00:07:44,662 --> 00:07:46,636
It's an odd thing, Mr.
Ireton. Every man
92
00:07:46,661 --> 00:07:48,730
who wages war believes
God is on his side.
93
00:07:48,916 --> 00:07:53,827
I warrant God should often wonder
who is on his. Good evening, sir.
94
00:07:55,047 --> 00:07:57,247
Well, if I did give you
offence, sir, I beg your pardon.
95
00:07:57,383 --> 00:07:59,447
You're a young man, Mr.
Ireton. It's fitting
96
00:07:59,472 --> 00:08:01,535
a young man should want
to change the world.
97
00:08:01,679 --> 00:08:05,048
Not the world, sir. Only England.
98
00:08:07,476 --> 00:08:10,228
With a civil war.
99
00:08:12,565 --> 00:08:14,937
Good evening, Mrs. Cromwell.
Good evening, Mr. Ireton.
100
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:17,399
I'll get your cloak, Mr. Ireton.
101
00:08:17,987 --> 00:08:20,063
I hope you'll forgive him.
102
00:08:20,281 --> 00:08:22,404
Goodbye, John.
103
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,615
God be with you, Oliver.
104
00:08:43,345 --> 00:08:46,299
You've no right to do
this. Leave them animals be.
105
00:08:46,515 --> 00:08:48,555
This is the common land.
106
00:08:53,314 --> 00:08:57,014
Any man who raises a hand against
the king's men will be arrested.
107
00:08:57,235 --> 00:08:59,905
You have no right to do
this. This land is ours.
108
00:09:00,154 --> 00:09:01,994
Well, now it belongs to
the Earl of Manchester.
109
00:09:02,281 --> 00:09:03,360
By whose authority?
110
00:09:03,616 --> 00:09:07,150
By the authority of the king.
Then I say the king is a thief!
111
00:09:08,454 --> 00:09:10,245
You're under arrest. Take him away!
112
00:09:10,498 --> 00:09:12,656
Bastards! Look at him,
now. What's he done?
113
00:09:12,875 --> 00:09:15,033
He's done nothing. Release that man!
114
00:09:15,252 --> 00:09:17,292
Who the devil are you?
This man works for me.
115
00:09:17,505 --> 00:09:19,331
Whatever he has done, I will
take full responsibility.
116
00:09:19,507 --> 00:09:23,635
He has spoken treason against the king.
Will you take responsibility for that?
117
00:09:25,721 --> 00:09:27,963
The rights to pasture
belong to the common people.
118
00:09:28,182 --> 00:09:30,554
By what authority, Lord
Manchester, do you take that away?
119
00:09:30,893 --> 00:09:33,514
By the authority of His
Majesty's commissioners,
120
00:09:33,687 --> 00:09:35,603
granting me and my
friends full rights to
121
00:09:35,628 --> 00:09:37,543
this land for the
purpose of improvement.
122
00:09:37,775 --> 00:09:41,903
Such a contract cannot be legal. It is
in violation of the law of this land.
123
00:09:42,154 --> 00:09:45,986
As a magistrate, you should know
the king is the law of this land.
124
00:09:46,242 --> 00:09:50,405
On the contrary, my Lord Manchester. It
is the king's duty to maintain the law.
125
00:09:50,579 --> 00:09:52,868
This is common land. It
belongs to the people.
126
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:55,575
This is my land, and
you are trespassing.
127
00:09:55,793 --> 00:09:57,631
It's only out of respect
for your rank I don't
128
00:09:57,656 --> 00:09:59,337
have you arrested for
obstructing the law.
129
00:09:59,380 --> 00:10:01,088
Captain Lundsford! My lord?
130
00:10:01,298 --> 00:10:04,418
See that no unauthorized
person enters this area.
131
00:10:04,677 --> 00:10:08,093
Yes, my lord. Remove these people.
132
00:10:27,074 --> 00:10:31,072
Good morrow to you, squire.
Good morrow, Mrs. Cromwell.
133
00:10:32,913 --> 00:10:34,787
Squire, have you news of my husband?
134
00:10:34,999 --> 00:10:36,623
It's in God's hands, Mrs. Carter.
135
00:10:36,835 --> 00:10:40,702
And in the king's. Aye.
136
00:10:43,257 --> 00:10:45,000
PRIEST: Let us pray.
137
00:10:45,801 --> 00:10:52,420
Almighty God, look down upon this
thy house and we, thy humble servants.
138
00:10:53,434 --> 00:10:58,855
Grant us the spirit of thy grace
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
139
00:10:59,106 --> 00:11:00,221
Amen.
140
00:11:00,441 --> 00:11:02,932
Who has done this?
141
00:11:03,527 --> 00:11:09,114
Answer me. Who has done
this? An edict, squire,
142
00:11:09,325 --> 00:11:13,073
from the archbishop himself
and by order of the king.
143
00:11:13,329 --> 00:11:16,164
By order of the king.
144
00:11:16,582 --> 00:11:19,868
Is the Church of England
not a Protestant church?
145
00:11:20,085 --> 00:11:25,210
Would the king turn the house
of God into a Roman temple?
146
00:11:25,466 --> 00:11:28,917
Mr. Cromwell, I beseech you.
Does the king think that God
147
00:11:29,094 --> 00:11:33,555
can be bought with gold,
trinkets and gilded rubbish?
148
00:11:33,766 --> 00:11:36,221
I know only that I have been instructed.
149
00:11:36,477 --> 00:11:39,050
Has this king forgotten the Reformation?
150
00:11:40,731 --> 00:11:42,771
Mr. Cromwell-
Away with it.
151
00:11:42,983 --> 00:11:46,602
Popish idolatry!
152
00:11:49,490 --> 00:11:51,696
Did the Lord not say unto Moses:
153
00:11:51,909 --> 00:11:56,072
"Thou shalt not make unto
thyself any graven image
154
00:11:57,540 --> 00:11:59,117
nor bow down to them"?
155
00:11:59,291 --> 00:12:02,043
Has this king forgotten
the Spanish Inquisition?
156
00:12:02,253 --> 00:12:07,591
Is the Roman Catholic Church
to have a seat in Westminster?
157
00:12:20,896 --> 00:12:23,470
Oh, my God.
158
00:12:23,774 --> 00:12:29,694
My God. Oh, my God!
159
00:12:45,171 --> 00:12:49,464
Goddamn this king.
160
00:13:17,620 --> 00:13:21,071
King's guard, attention!
161
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,115
Here we are, my lord.
162
00:13:25,544 --> 00:13:28,035
That'll do, damn it.
I'm not a damned cripple.
163
00:13:28,255 --> 00:13:31,458
Me sticks, where are me
sticks? Come over here, boy.
164
00:13:31,634 --> 00:13:34,837
Here they are, my lord.
Give me the damned things.
165
00:13:35,054 --> 00:13:37,343
And who the devil are you? Edward Hyde.
166
00:13:39,183 --> 00:13:42,468
Let's in to His Majesty. Where is he?
167
00:13:42,687 --> 00:13:44,514
He's at prayers, my lord. Aye.
168
00:13:44,730 --> 00:13:48,431
He might do well to pray and
all. We're gonna need some help.
169
00:13:48,651 --> 00:13:51,272
First the Irish and now the Scots.
170
00:13:51,487 --> 00:13:54,357
You doesn't turn your
back on either of them.
171
00:14:15,803 --> 00:14:19,717
Let us give thanks to our mighty God,
that he has seen fit to bless this table
172
00:14:19,890 --> 00:14:23,722
with the fruits of his bounty. In the
name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, amen.
173
00:14:23,978 --> 00:14:25,805
Amen.
174
00:14:41,704 --> 00:14:43,743
I did remark, madam, with some distress
175
00:14:43,914 --> 00:14:48,161
that His Highness, Prince Charles,
was absent from prayers this morning.
176
00:14:48,335 --> 00:14:49,664
He was with me, my lord.
177
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,590
He did pray with you? In your chapel?
178
00:14:52,798 --> 00:14:56,416
Yes, my lord. I am most displeased.
179
00:14:56,635 --> 00:14:58,758
It is not fitting that
a future king of England
180
00:14:58,929 --> 00:15:01,551
should make his devotions
in a Catholic chapel.
181
00:15:01,724 --> 00:15:05,935
Your private beliefs are respected.
But this is a Protestant country
182
00:15:06,145 --> 00:15:08,737
and as head of both
church and state, it is
183
00:15:08,762 --> 00:15:11,412
my God-given duty to see
that it so remains.
184
00:15:11,609 --> 00:15:16,105
His Highness found the whole business
so boring, my lord, that he fell asleep.
185
00:15:16,322 --> 00:15:18,564
Didn't you, Charles? Yes, madam.
186
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,529
I believe you will find your
church as solid as ever, my lord.
187
00:15:23,746 --> 00:15:28,574
Nevertheless, you will kindly
see that it does not happen again.
188
00:15:28,792 --> 00:15:31,200
Yes, my lord.
189
00:15:31,754 --> 00:15:34,755
Your Majesty, the Earl of
Strafford awaits your pleasure.
190
00:15:35,175 --> 00:15:38,674
My good Lord Strafford,
welcome back to England.
191
00:15:39,303 --> 00:15:41,094
Thank you, my lord.
192
00:15:41,305 --> 00:15:45,884
Your Majesty. Your Royal Highness.
193
00:15:46,227 --> 00:15:47,935
Most noble sovereign.
194
00:15:48,145 --> 00:15:51,728
A chair for his lordship.
Thank you, my lord.
195
00:15:51,941 --> 00:15:54,017
I'm sorry to see you in pain.
196
00:15:54,235 --> 00:16:00,237
It is the agues from the bogs of
Ireland, my lord. Godforsaken place.
197
00:16:00,450 --> 00:16:02,443
Saving your presence, my lord bishop.
198
00:16:02,618 --> 00:16:05,379
We would not have summoned you, Lord
Strafford, had the situation here
199
00:16:05,579 --> 00:16:07,287
not been of a greatest urgency.
200
00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:10,991
You've doubtless heard that the Scottish
rebels are marching on Newcastle?
201
00:16:11,210 --> 00:16:12,210
Aye, my lord.
202
00:16:12,419 --> 00:16:15,835
You will whip these
barbarians to their senses.
203
00:16:16,048 --> 00:16:20,675
But what of Ireland, my lord? We'll
deal with Ireland in good time.
204
00:16:20,886 --> 00:16:26,806
You'll march an army on
Scotland. Army. What army?
205
00:16:27,017 --> 00:16:31,514
Most of your army lies rotting
beneath the bogs of Ireland.
206
00:16:31,730 --> 00:16:35,562
What's left of it is hard-pressed
to keep law and order.
207
00:16:37,027 --> 00:16:39,186
Then we will raise a second army.
208
00:16:39,446 --> 00:16:42,697
I fear Your Majesty may find
that easier said than done.
209
00:16:42,908 --> 00:16:47,321
What? I guarantee I could raise
3000 men under arms inside a month!
210
00:16:47,539 --> 00:16:49,947
But could you guarantee
their loyalty, my lord?
211
00:16:50,166 --> 00:16:52,870
Is there an Englishman living
who wouldn't draw a sword
212
00:16:53,043 --> 00:16:54,123
against his king's enemies?
213
00:16:54,336 --> 00:16:56,578
There would be many
Englishmen, my Lord Strafford,
214
00:16:56,797 --> 00:16:59,169
who would more readily draw
swords against the king.
215
00:16:59,426 --> 00:17:02,425
My God, who is this
jackanapes that mouths
216
00:17:02,450 --> 00:17:05,239
such treason in your
presence, my lord?
217
00:17:05,431 --> 00:17:07,720
You've been away a long time, Strafford.
218
00:17:07,892 --> 00:17:10,596
Much here has changed.
219
00:17:10,812 --> 00:17:12,769
Aye, I can see it has.
220
00:17:12,980 --> 00:17:16,064
I fear Sir Edward but speaks the truth.
221
00:17:16,650 --> 00:17:18,712
To put an effective army
in the field against
222
00:17:18,737 --> 00:17:20,754
the Scots will cost
almost a million pounds.
223
00:17:20,946 --> 00:17:24,481
The Crown does not
have a million pounds.
224
00:17:25,326 --> 00:17:29,193
Are we just going to sit
here then and do nothing?
225
00:17:30,456 --> 00:17:36,292
Then I will summon Parliament and
instruct them to provide money.
226
00:17:36,629 --> 00:17:38,917
Parliament?!
227
00:17:39,798 --> 00:17:45,041
The king of England go cap in hand
to the common people, like a-?
228
00:17:45,346 --> 00:17:48,133
A beggar. Aye! A beggar?
229
00:17:52,853 --> 00:17:56,518
I have no choice. I say take the money.
230
00:17:56,732 --> 00:18:01,311
You, my lord, are absolved before God
and before man from any such action.
231
00:18:02,071 --> 00:18:07,575
For in extreme necessity, the king is
acquitted from all rule of government
232
00:18:07,785 --> 00:18:10,323
and can do all that his power permits.
233
00:18:10,538 --> 00:18:14,785
Power? Where is the power
of a king without an army?
234
00:18:15,252 --> 00:18:17,328
I'll warrant you, I'll raise an army.
235
00:18:17,545 --> 00:18:21,673
We'll reduce this kingdom
to submission in one summer!
236
00:18:21,882 --> 00:18:28,419
Do you mean, sir, that I should
declare war on my own people?
237
00:18:28,639 --> 00:18:30,715
Aye!
238
00:18:30,933 --> 00:18:34,598
Before they declare war on you.
239
00:19:06,135 --> 00:19:10,382
Well, sons, there it is.
240
00:19:10,598 --> 00:19:12,674
Parliament House.
241
00:19:12,892 --> 00:19:16,343
Upon that place rests all
the hopes of this nation
242
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,762
for a settlement of its ills in peace.
243
00:19:18,981 --> 00:19:21,733
Do you think it could
come to war, Father?
244
00:19:21,942 --> 00:19:24,729
Well, Oliver, when men run out of words,
245
00:19:24,904 --> 00:19:26,896
they reach for their swords.
246
00:19:27,114 --> 00:19:30,364
Let's hope we can keep them talking.
247
00:19:31,076 --> 00:19:35,288
The king demands
money to raise an army.
248
00:19:38,334 --> 00:19:42,794
This House demands
redress for grievances.
249
00:19:45,007 --> 00:19:51,626
Grievances which the past 12 years have
laid heavy upon the nation. I say that-
250
00:19:52,556 --> 00:19:57,764
Might I be heard? I say, therefore, this
House is resolved that we'll vote...
251
00:19:57,978 --> 00:19:59,722
Welcome back to Parliament.
252
00:19:59,939 --> 00:20:02,856
No money for the king!
253
00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:07,269
Order! Order!
254
00:20:08,697 --> 00:20:13,525
Neither will we take up arms against
our Scottish brethren, unless...
255
00:20:13,744 --> 00:20:18,869
Unless this Parliament
is allowed to function
256
00:20:19,083 --> 00:20:23,994
as the true voice of
the people of England.
257
00:20:24,213 --> 00:20:28,460
And not as a gathering
of lackeys to the king.
258
00:20:50,823 --> 00:20:53,943
Sir Edward Hyde, Your Majesty.
259
00:20:54,994 --> 00:20:56,702
Well, Sir Edward? Your Majesty.
260
00:20:56,996 --> 00:21:00,412
I believe the House will
grant a loan to the Crown.
261
00:21:00,583 --> 00:21:03,453
But only on certain conditions.
262
00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:07,749
Conditions? What do
you mean, conditions?
263
00:21:07,965 --> 00:21:10,752
What are these conditions, Sir Edward?
264
00:21:10,968 --> 00:21:12,628
In essence, sire,
265
00:21:12,845 --> 00:21:16,677
that the Crown relinquishes
all authority over Parliament.
266
00:21:17,391 --> 00:21:22,267
And who put forward this proposal?
267
00:21:22,855 --> 00:21:26,935
John Pym, Henry Ireton, John Hampden.
268
00:21:27,151 --> 00:21:28,645
The Puritans.
269
00:21:29,236 --> 00:21:30,896
They were well supported, my lord.
270
00:21:31,155 --> 00:21:34,855
And they call themselves Englishmen?
271
00:21:35,075 --> 00:21:38,195
My God, it's enough to make
a man deny his birthright.
272
00:21:38,413 --> 00:21:41,782
Yet, withal, they still be Englishmen.
273
00:21:41,999 --> 00:21:44,490
They make a mockery of the Crown!
274
00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:49,917
They abuse the privilege of free
speech with sedition and treason.
275
00:21:50,132 --> 00:21:55,127
You're too loud, Lord Strafford.
It is most unpleasant to the ear.
276
00:21:57,890 --> 00:22:00,013
So it has come to this, my lord.
277
00:22:00,227 --> 00:22:05,932
That you now bargain for your
Crown. What would you have me do?
278
00:22:06,148 --> 00:22:09,600
Arrest every man who
opposes me? Hang them?
279
00:22:10,152 --> 00:22:13,106
Would you rather make a
gift of the Crown of England
280
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,522
to the rabble in the street?
281
00:22:15,699 --> 00:22:20,990
It lies beyond my power to arrest
a citizen without proper charges.
282
00:22:21,205 --> 00:22:24,040
Charges are immaterial.
283
00:22:24,416 --> 00:22:28,200
Such an act would subvert the
fundamental laws of this land, madam.
284
00:22:28,587 --> 00:22:33,048
Such an act might save the
Crown of England, my lord.
285
00:22:34,009 --> 00:22:37,425
I've governed this country
justly and fairly these 12 years
286
00:22:37,596 --> 00:22:40,846
without reference to any Parliament.
287
00:22:41,767 --> 00:22:46,310
You may be assured, I do not intend
now to be schooled in my high office
288
00:22:46,522 --> 00:22:50,650
by illiterate farm hands, cobblers
289
00:22:51,861 --> 00:22:54,316
and basket weavers.
290
00:22:54,697 --> 00:22:58,944
My Lord Strafford, you will
rid us of these troublemakers:
291
00:22:59,202 --> 00:23:01,658
Pym, Ireton, all of them.
292
00:23:02,164 --> 00:23:05,367
I'll arrest every one of
them, my lord. As you will.
293
00:23:05,583 --> 00:23:09,082
I shall need a warrant.
That is imperative.
294
00:23:09,295 --> 00:23:12,628
And what will the charges be, my lord?
295
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,375
You're an experienced officer
of the Crown, Strafford.
296
00:23:16,594 --> 00:23:20,212
You do not need to be instructed by me.
297
00:23:22,641 --> 00:23:25,049
Mr. Speaker.
298
00:23:26,228 --> 00:23:28,470
May I have permission
to address the House?
299
00:23:28,647 --> 00:23:30,723
By all means, sir. Gentlemen.
300
00:23:30,941 --> 00:23:35,271
A matter has come to my notice,
which is of deep concern to me
301
00:23:35,488 --> 00:23:40,648
and will, I am sure, be to every
single member of this House.
302
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,987
The Earl of Strafford has, this
day, put his hand to a warrant
303
00:23:46,207 --> 00:23:49,042
for the arrest and impeachment of myself
304
00:23:49,210 --> 00:23:52,413
and four other honourable
members of this House
305
00:23:52,588 --> 00:23:55,957
upon a charge of high treason.
306
00:23:58,427 --> 00:24:01,713
Though Strafford's hand
be upon this warrant,
307
00:24:01,931 --> 00:24:07,554
I see in this business, not the hand
of Strafford, but that of the king.
308
00:24:09,146 --> 00:24:11,139
My lords!
309
00:24:11,732 --> 00:24:16,608
I beseech you, do not
condemn this king too hastily.
310
00:24:16,821 --> 00:24:20,605
For I am persuaded he has been
ill-advised upon this course.
311
00:24:20,866 --> 00:24:24,282
Is not a king to be judged by
those from whom he seeks counsel?
312
00:24:24,453 --> 00:24:25,698
He is not!
313
00:24:26,747 --> 00:24:31,907
It is not the function of this House
to sit in judgement upon this king.
314
00:24:32,127 --> 00:24:36,920
The fault lies with those very people
from whom the king has sought counsel.
315
00:24:37,132 --> 00:24:42,423
I therefore move that this House demands
316
00:24:43,222 --> 00:24:46,093
the arrest and impeachment
of the Earl of Strafford
317
00:24:46,308 --> 00:24:51,220
upon a charge of high treason
against the people of this nation.
318
00:24:53,941 --> 00:24:56,858
Silence! Order!
319
00:24:57,069 --> 00:25:02,229
The motion has been proposed.
Let it be put now to the question.
320
00:25:02,449 --> 00:25:06,068
Is the motion agreed? MEN: No!
321
00:25:06,328 --> 00:25:07,526
In favour of the motion?
322
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:10,993
Aye! Aye! Aye!
323
00:25:11,501 --> 00:25:13,375
The ayes have it.
324
00:25:49,288 --> 00:25:52,739
I think my Lord Strafford's condition
325
00:25:52,958 --> 00:25:57,751
will soon be far happier than mine.
326
00:26:22,613 --> 00:26:24,771
Do you see, madam?
327
00:26:24,990 --> 00:26:28,194
Do you see now what you've made me do?
328
00:26:57,398 --> 00:27:00,434
Gentlemen, His Majesty.
329
00:27:04,738 --> 00:27:06,778
Pray be seated.
330
00:27:11,704 --> 00:27:15,571
Your coming is nothing if not timely.
331
00:27:16,292 --> 00:27:21,119
My Lord Strafford's head
has but barely fallen.
332
00:27:25,134 --> 00:27:28,088
Now, gentlemen, it is for you to speak.
333
00:27:29,054 --> 00:27:33,004
Your Majesty, you see here the
leaders of all parties of the House.
334
00:27:33,226 --> 00:27:37,058
And though we be divided on many
issues, we are of one accord.
335
00:27:37,563 --> 00:27:41,691
In that we place above all
else, our allegiance and loyalty
336
00:27:41,901 --> 00:27:44,308
to our most gracious sovereign.
337
00:27:44,737 --> 00:27:46,860
For which reason we are deeply anxious
338
00:27:47,031 --> 00:27:49,319
for a settlement of the
differences between us.
339
00:27:49,576 --> 00:27:53,075
I share your sentiment, Sir Edward.
340
00:27:55,623 --> 00:27:58,374
The issue be this, my lord.
341
00:27:59,168 --> 00:28:02,453
Parliament is persuaded that without
the right to govern this nation
342
00:28:02,671 --> 00:28:07,214
by the will of the people
and with God's guidance,
343
00:28:07,384 --> 00:28:10,302
we be not a Parliament at all.
344
00:28:10,471 --> 00:28:15,014
And that unless some constitutional
reformation be brought about,
345
00:28:15,226 --> 00:28:20,647
we would as well go back to our
homes and our farms as pursue this
346
00:28:20,856 --> 00:28:23,526
mockery of a government one more day.
347
00:28:23,818 --> 00:28:25,894
In short, Mr. Pym, you're asking me
348
00:28:26,111 --> 00:28:29,694
to relinquish my sovereign
power over Parliament.
349
00:28:29,907 --> 00:28:32,315
It does amount to that, Your Majesty.
350
00:28:32,535 --> 00:28:35,405
I do swear that I hold
this England and its laws
351
00:28:35,579 --> 00:28:38,153
dearer to my heart than any here.
352
00:28:38,374 --> 00:28:42,751
But gentlemen, if you were to reduce
me to a figurehead, a puppet king
353
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,371
manipulated by Parliament, how
then would I serve my country?
354
00:28:46,591 --> 00:28:49,841
What manner of king would I be?
355
00:28:51,345 --> 00:28:53,053
I am persuaded, Your Majesty,
356
00:28:53,264 --> 00:28:57,558
that England must move forward to a
more enlightened form of government
357
00:28:57,726 --> 00:29:01,594
based upon a true
representation of a free people.
358
00:29:01,814 --> 00:29:05,812
Such an institution is
known as democracy, sir.
359
00:29:06,819 --> 00:29:10,947
A democracy, Mr...? Cromwell, sir.
360
00:29:11,740 --> 00:29:15,738
Democracy, Mr. Cromwell,
was a Greek drollery
361
00:29:15,953 --> 00:29:20,247
based on the foolish notion that
there are extraordinary possibilities
362
00:29:20,457 --> 00:29:22,367
in very ordinary people.
363
00:29:23,085 --> 00:29:27,213
It is the ordinary people, my lord, who
would most readily lay down their lives
364
00:29:27,381 --> 00:29:29,255
in defence of your realm.
365
00:29:29,842 --> 00:29:33,460
It is simply that being ordinary,
366
00:29:33,679 --> 00:29:37,048
they would prefer to
be asked and not told.
367
00:29:38,809 --> 00:29:41,101
You know, as I do, that
even as we sit here,
368
00:29:41,126 --> 00:29:43,163
the Scots rebels are
invading this land
369
00:29:43,355 --> 00:29:46,747
and not an English sword
is raised against them. I
370
00:29:46,772 --> 00:29:49,963
beg you, therefore, let
us bury our differences
371
00:29:50,154 --> 00:29:52,906
in defence of both
our church and kingdom.
372
00:29:53,115 --> 00:29:59,734
The Scots invade our land
and all is urgency and alarm.
373
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:03,490
In the past 12 months our Irish
colonists have been slaughtered,
374
00:30:03,792 --> 00:30:08,205
our churches desecrated,
our clergy persecuted.
375
00:30:08,422 --> 00:30:10,331
The Crown has been oddly reluctant
376
00:30:10,508 --> 00:30:13,793
to defend our church and
kingdom over there, sir.
377
00:30:13,969 --> 00:30:17,173
By my guard, I would as soon
take up arms against Rome
378
00:30:17,389 --> 00:30:19,631
than against the Scots.
379
00:30:19,809 --> 00:30:21,931
Would you have me declare war
380
00:30:22,102 --> 00:30:24,772
on the entire Catholic
world, Mr. Cromwell?
381
00:30:25,022 --> 00:30:28,225
It is your duty to
defend our church, sir.
382
00:30:29,235 --> 00:30:34,027
We are speaking now of a
matter of international policy.
383
00:30:36,575 --> 00:30:42,910
Is Your Majesty sure that it's not
a matter of domestic expediency?
384
00:30:43,165 --> 00:30:44,825
Come, sir! I would remind you, sir,
385
00:30:45,042 --> 00:30:46,620
that you are addressing your king.
386
00:30:46,794 --> 00:30:51,835
Mr. Cromwell, you are impertinent.
387
00:30:52,925 --> 00:30:57,468
Such issues are beyond
good manners, sir.
388
00:30:59,014 --> 00:31:02,633
Catholicism is more than a
religion, it is a political power.
389
00:31:03,102 --> 00:31:06,886
Therefore, I am led to believe
there will be no peace in Ireland
390
00:31:07,148 --> 00:31:10,314
until the Catholic Church is crushed.
391
00:31:12,236 --> 00:31:14,275
Your Majesty.
392
00:31:18,534 --> 00:31:22,745
These gentlemen
are from the Parliament.
393
00:31:49,815 --> 00:31:52,816
Your Majesty, Parliament
has drawn up this document
394
00:31:53,027 --> 00:31:55,981
in which are set out
our main grievances.
395
00:31:56,197 --> 00:31:59,151
It is our belief that
the demands made here
396
00:31:59,366 --> 00:32:01,739
are only those that are just and lawful
397
00:32:01,952 --> 00:32:05,736
and in the best interests
of both Crown and kingdom.
398
00:32:05,956 --> 00:32:10,998
I shall examine these proposals
most carefully, Mr. Pym.
399
00:32:13,172 --> 00:32:15,046
Gentlemen.
400
00:32:37,071 --> 00:32:40,155
It is not too late, my lord.
401
00:32:42,117 --> 00:32:44,655
You have the power still.
402
00:32:44,870 --> 00:32:49,616
And with God's help, the
strength to use that power.
403
00:32:53,587 --> 00:32:56,209
Oh, my dearest Charles.
404
00:32:56,423 --> 00:33:00,291
I married you as a king and as a man.
405
00:33:01,011 --> 00:33:07,346
I beseech you, do not
disappoint me in either aspect.
406
00:33:20,406 --> 00:33:23,442
"This House has time and again
407
00:33:23,659 --> 00:33:27,823
expressed its wholehearted
loyalty to the Crown.
408
00:33:28,038 --> 00:33:29,319
Yet...
409
00:33:29,541 --> 00:33:32,577
doth Parliament await
in vain for a gesture..."
410
00:33:32,918 --> 00:33:36,204
The king is coming with a warrant to
arrest you, John Hampden, Henry Ireton,
411
00:33:36,422 --> 00:33:39,292
Sir Arthur Haselrig and Oliver
Cromwell under charge of high treason.
412
00:33:39,508 --> 00:33:40,837
I suggest you leave immediately.
413
00:33:41,886 --> 00:33:46,014
"- that if the issues that
divide the king from his country
414
00:33:46,182 --> 00:33:50,678
be not soon resolved, then these
issues may soon divide the nation."
415
00:33:57,193 --> 00:34:00,193
The king is coming with
a warrant for our arrest.
416
00:34:00,404 --> 00:34:03,654
What? We must leave at once.
417
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,912
Oliver, your name is on it.
418
00:34:10,372 --> 00:34:12,164
Come!
419
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,960
My lords! My lords!
420
00:34:23,177 --> 00:34:27,839
Gentlemen! The king comes.
He comes with 100 men-at-arms.
421
00:34:28,098 --> 00:34:32,476
The doors! The doors! Bolt the doors!
422
00:34:40,027 --> 00:34:43,645
Stand aside, gentlemen,
if you please. MAN: Halt!
423
00:34:43,865 --> 00:34:45,822
Open in the name of the king!
424
00:35:42,923 --> 00:35:45,130
Mr. Speaker.
425
00:35:45,509 --> 00:35:49,127
Gentlemen, you must pardon this
infringement of your privilege
426
00:35:49,305 --> 00:35:52,056
but I will not detain you long.
427
00:35:52,267 --> 00:35:55,138
Mr. Speaker, I must make
bold with your chair.
428
00:36:06,947 --> 00:36:11,740
I have here a warrant for the
arrest of five members of this House.
429
00:36:12,495 --> 00:36:15,412
John Pym, Henry Ireton, John Hampden,
430
00:36:15,581 --> 00:36:18,914
Oliver Cromwell and Sir Arthur Haselrig
431
00:36:19,084 --> 00:36:21,836
upon a charge of treason.
432
00:36:31,263 --> 00:36:34,798
I see that the birds have flown.
433
00:36:35,518 --> 00:36:39,136
Mr. Speaker, where are these gentlemen?
434
00:36:41,398 --> 00:36:43,308
May it please Your Majesty,
435
00:36:43,484 --> 00:36:46,769
I have neither eyes to
see nor tongue to speak
436
00:36:46,987 --> 00:36:49,313
except as this House gives me leave.
437
00:36:49,573 --> 00:36:53,701
Well, sir, I have eyes. I
see that one of them is here.
438
00:36:54,411 --> 00:36:55,787
Captain.
439
00:36:56,038 --> 00:36:57,865
Take him!
440
00:37:00,167 --> 00:37:03,785
Any action against a member of
this House is a breach of privilege.
441
00:37:04,171 --> 00:37:07,125
I move this House
declares as public enemies
442
00:37:07,299 --> 00:37:10,086
any who lay hands upon its members.
443
00:37:11,095 --> 00:37:13,467
And I further move...
444
00:37:14,431 --> 00:37:16,638
I further move that any such
action against this House
445
00:37:16,809 --> 00:37:19,347
be considered a crime against the people
446
00:37:20,938 --> 00:37:23,809
and treason against this nation.
447
00:37:34,326 --> 00:37:36,200
So be it.
448
00:37:37,037 --> 00:37:40,489
Mr. Speaker, you will inform
the members of this House
449
00:37:40,708 --> 00:37:44,456
that their presence is no
longer required by the nation.
450
00:37:44,670 --> 00:37:51,088
This Parliament is, by my
authority, terminated, dissolved.
451
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:01,389
Your Majesty!
452
00:38:04,148 --> 00:38:06,900
Are you aware that by your
action in this House today
453
00:38:07,109 --> 00:38:10,774
you may have pushed this nation
to the brink of civil war?
454
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:37,173
Now do we see
455
00:38:37,389 --> 00:38:42,265
in what contempt this king
holds this House and this nation?
456
00:38:45,189 --> 00:38:50,396
It be either your king
or your Parliament.
457
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:56,659
Honourable members,
the decision is yours.
458
00:38:57,576 --> 00:39:04,030
But I beseech you, in the
name of God, think well on it.
459
00:39:29,525 --> 00:39:31,601
Fairfax.
460
00:39:48,627 --> 00:39:50,786
Gentlemen.
461
00:39:51,255 --> 00:39:54,588
I move that this House demand
the control of the militia
462
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,343
and that this country be put in
an immediate posture of defence.
463
00:40:00,389 --> 00:40:02,382
Mr. Speaker.
464
00:40:04,935 --> 00:40:06,928
My lords.
465
00:40:07,438 --> 00:40:12,978
Honourable members. This nation
is now in a state of civil war.
466
00:40:15,321 --> 00:40:20,398
And let us pray that God in
his mercy will give us strength
467
00:40:20,618 --> 00:40:25,363
in this terrible and most unhappy hour.
468
00:41:06,121 --> 00:41:07,746
Morning, William.
469
00:41:07,957 --> 00:41:09,949
Give you good day,
squire. Why the coffin?
470
00:41:10,125 --> 00:41:13,957
If it be God's will I die, squire, then
I would have a decent Christian burial.
471
00:41:14,171 --> 00:41:17,006
Let's hope it doesn't come to that,
William. I need you in the farm.
472
00:41:24,014 --> 00:41:25,094
Hello, Father. Father.
473
00:41:25,307 --> 00:41:27,134
Morning. Where's your sword, Richard?
474
00:41:27,351 --> 00:41:28,596
I have no sword, Father.
475
00:41:28,811 --> 00:41:32,014
You must get one and wear it.
It's a mark of your rank, captain.
476
00:41:32,231 --> 00:41:34,389
Yes. MAN: God bless thee!
477
00:41:34,650 --> 00:41:41,187
Hallelujah, hallelujah, brethren.
It is the Lord's work we do this day!
478
00:41:41,448 --> 00:41:44,236
The Lord's work-This
is no place for you, Hugh,
479
00:41:44,451 --> 00:41:45,451
though you be welcome.
480
00:41:45,703 --> 00:41:49,451
I've consulted God on
this matter, Mr. Cromwell.
481
00:41:49,623 --> 00:41:52,410
I asked him, "Lord,
whose side are you on?"
482
00:41:52,626 --> 00:41:58,083
And he answered me, saying, "On
the side of truth and justice."
483
00:41:58,424 --> 00:42:00,381
So here I am.
484
00:42:00,676 --> 00:42:04,756
Company, forward!
485
00:42:06,765 --> 00:42:11,427
MEN SINGING: Lift up your
heads ye gates of brass
486
00:42:11,645 --> 00:42:16,058
Ye bars of iron yield
487
00:42:16,275 --> 00:42:20,107
And let the king of glory
488
00:42:20,321 --> 00:42:25,777
Pass the crosses in the field
489
00:42:25,993 --> 00:42:29,327
That banner brighter
490
00:42:29,538 --> 00:42:35,790
Than the star that
leaves A trail of light
491
00:43:04,824 --> 00:43:07,065
Greetings, Uncle.
492
00:43:07,284 --> 00:43:10,071
'Tis a fair day for a
fight. Where be the enemy?
493
00:43:10,746 --> 00:43:12,371
My lords, I present my nephew.
494
00:43:12,623 --> 00:43:15,659
His Highness, Prince Rupert,
Count Palatine of the Rhine.
495
00:43:15,876 --> 00:43:18,414
My lords, I give you
greetings. LORDS: Your Highness.
496
00:43:18,755 --> 00:43:21,756
And good Cousin Charles,
most noble Prince of Wales.
497
00:43:22,007 --> 00:43:24,925
How fare you, young sir? I
am well, thank you, cousin.
498
00:43:25,636 --> 00:43:29,716
So let us to action. For
I do swear by this sword
499
00:43:29,974 --> 00:43:33,806
that within a week we will have severed
every round head from its shoulders!
500
00:43:34,019 --> 00:43:37,104
Well said, Your Highness.
Let the standard be raised.
501
00:44:03,340 --> 00:44:06,092
Get those guns moving!
502
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:11,315
Thou shalt proclaim his life
503
00:45:11,534 --> 00:45:13,906
Though granted...
504
00:45:16,038 --> 00:45:17,497
Halt!
505
00:45:17,706 --> 00:45:19,533
Halt!
506
00:45:21,418 --> 00:45:24,704
Where the devil are we?
Edgehill, my lord, over there.
507
00:45:28,093 --> 00:45:30,169
Morning, Robert. Morning, Edward.
508
00:45:30,386 --> 00:45:32,758
Damn me, they've got
a lot of fellows there.
509
00:45:32,972 --> 00:45:36,969
Where's Cromwell?
Approaching now, my lord.
510
00:45:49,029 --> 00:45:51,105
Morning, Cromwell. Morning, my lord.
511
00:45:51,323 --> 00:45:54,609
Your men fit, colonel?
My men are ready, my lord.
512
00:45:54,870 --> 00:45:57,705
You seem damned eager to get
into this business, Cromwell.
513
00:45:58,122 --> 00:46:01,491
We all enter this reluctantly,
but the die is cast.
514
00:46:01,709 --> 00:46:05,327
Is that not so, Lord
Essex? You are right.
515
00:46:05,546 --> 00:46:08,962
Well, to your position. Let no
man move except upon my signal.
516
00:46:09,216 --> 00:46:11,754
And may God look
kindly upon us this day.
517
00:46:11,969 --> 00:46:13,084
Amen to that.
518
00:46:13,679 --> 00:46:17,130
Missed my breakfast. Damned
tricky things, stomachs.
519
00:46:24,482 --> 00:46:26,973
God be with you, men.
God bless you.
520
00:46:27,193 --> 00:46:29,600
God be with you. Take
care of yourself, William.
521
00:46:29,820 --> 00:46:32,738
The Lord'll take care of
me, squire. Have faith, John.
522
00:46:32,948 --> 00:46:35,735
I have, squire. Come on,
lads. Look to your muskets.
523
00:46:35,951 --> 00:46:38,656
Have your muskets at
the ready. Come on, now.
524
00:46:39,997 --> 00:46:43,580
Father. May God take
care of you, Richard
525
00:46:43,792 --> 00:46:48,289
and be with you, Oliver.
And with you too, Father.
526
00:46:50,966 --> 00:46:56,043
"O Lord, defend our cause
against the face of the enemy.
527
00:46:56,347 --> 00:47:01,009
Save us from the violence
of the enemy. O Lord of hope,
528
00:47:01,269 --> 00:47:04,519
fight for us that we may glorify thee."
529
00:47:04,772 --> 00:47:07,345
O Lord, God of mercy.
530
00:47:07,566 --> 00:47:11,066
Put thy strength in our hands this day.
531
00:47:11,278 --> 00:47:15,358
Give not the battle to the
strong, but to the righteous.
532
00:47:15,574 --> 00:47:21,079
And be thou, O merciful God,
our saviour and mighty deliverer.
533
00:47:21,288 --> 00:47:24,075
Defend me from them
that rise up against me.
534
00:47:24,291 --> 00:47:26,617
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
535
00:47:26,836 --> 00:47:29,077
Amen.
536
00:47:29,338 --> 00:47:31,081
Amen. Amen.
537
00:47:31,298 --> 00:47:34,003
Father, look. It's Lord Essex.
538
00:47:47,106 --> 00:47:48,766
Come, cousin.
539
00:47:48,983 --> 00:47:54,487
Let's take a good look at
these Roundheads. Your Majesty.
540
00:48:07,084 --> 00:48:11,545
God's teeth, have we not
parleyed enough these past months?
541
00:48:11,797 --> 00:48:15,462
Well, Essex, are you prepared?
We are. Shall we begin at 10?
542
00:48:15,718 --> 00:48:18,173
Make it 9, my lord.
I'm positively starving.
543
00:48:18,429 --> 00:48:20,006
Then in God's name, let's to it.
544
00:48:20,264 --> 00:48:23,633
It is agreed then, 9:00. And
by my faith, which I have not,
545
00:48:23,851 --> 00:48:28,264
I swear that within the hour, this
field will be strewn with English dead.
546
00:48:28,731 --> 00:48:32,563
If this be so, they will have
been killed by Englishmen.
547
00:48:32,776 --> 00:48:38,649
For we have not seen fit to import
foreign mercenaries into our ranks.
548
00:48:39,700 --> 00:48:44,907
I will mark you well for that
insult, sir. Be on your guard!
549
00:48:53,005 --> 00:48:55,163
Colours to the rear!
550
00:48:55,424 --> 00:48:57,998
Colours to the rear!
551
00:49:02,389 --> 00:49:07,680
The Lord is our
strength. Praise the Lord!
552
00:49:20,282 --> 00:49:24,066
What in the name of
God are we waiting for?
553
00:49:24,286 --> 00:49:26,326
Ireton!
554
00:49:27,248 --> 00:49:31,625
I thought we came here to do battle.
We're waiting for the appointed time.
555
00:49:31,836 --> 00:49:34,243
The appointed time?
556
00:49:42,763 --> 00:49:48,184
Colonel Hampden, commence firing! Fire!
557
00:49:50,729 --> 00:49:52,687
What the devil is that fool doing?
558
00:49:56,443 --> 00:49:58,235
Artillery, commence firing!
559
00:49:59,530 --> 00:50:01,688
Fire!
560
00:50:11,667 --> 00:50:15,795
O Lord, thou knowest how
busy I must be this day.
561
00:50:16,005 --> 00:50:21,295
If I forget thee, do not thou forget me.
562
00:50:30,769 --> 00:50:32,394
Fire!
563
00:50:35,649 --> 00:50:37,808
Fire!
564
00:50:42,490 --> 00:50:45,574
You'd better send Fairfax in. Mm.
565
00:50:46,076 --> 00:50:49,659
Bugler, sound the charge.
566
00:50:51,373 --> 00:50:52,868
Troop at the gallop.
567
00:50:53,125 --> 00:50:54,869
Advance!
568
00:51:22,655 --> 00:51:26,818
Signal Astley to advance.
Bugler, sound the advance.
569
00:51:33,874 --> 00:51:36,661
The sport begins.
570
00:51:36,877 --> 00:51:41,705
Tallyho!
571
00:51:46,178 --> 00:51:50,556
Troops rear left. At a gallop, charge!
572
00:52:34,185 --> 00:52:36,058
Give fire!
573
00:52:38,147 --> 00:52:40,638
Advance!
574
00:52:42,026 --> 00:52:43,935
Advance!
575
00:52:44,196 --> 00:52:45,987
Fire!
576
00:52:46,947 --> 00:52:50,399
Advance pike!
577
00:52:53,121 --> 00:52:55,695
Charge pike!
578
00:52:57,500 --> 00:53:01,034
Fire! Second rank forward!
579
00:53:32,701 --> 00:53:34,326
At the gallop!
580
00:53:49,510 --> 00:53:51,917
It's getting too damned
close for my liking.
581
00:53:56,642 --> 00:53:59,596
Sound general retreat.
Sound general retreat.
582
00:54:17,955 --> 00:54:20,493
My lord, why in the name of
Christ did you sound the retreat?
583
00:54:20,708 --> 00:54:23,264
Colonel, you've
countermined my orders
584
00:54:23,289 --> 00:54:26,106
once today. You'll do
as you're told, sir.
585
00:54:43,522 --> 00:54:45,978
Hold your ground, in the name of God!
586
00:54:46,192 --> 00:54:49,276
Hold your ground!
587
00:55:17,598 --> 00:55:21,845
Well, Uncle, did you ever see a
quarry so swiftly put to flight?
588
00:55:22,061 --> 00:55:26,355
The king will forever keep this
field and this day's service
589
00:55:26,565 --> 00:55:28,937
in grateful remembrance.
590
00:56:08,566 --> 00:56:10,891
Come nightfall, we shall bury our dead.
591
00:56:11,110 --> 00:56:14,277
And then, by God, we
shall bury this army.
592
00:56:14,446 --> 00:56:18,444
With such pitiful men in our ranks, it
were better this war were never fought.
593
00:56:18,617 --> 00:56:21,155
Not a drop of English blood
soiled this English land.
594
00:56:21,412 --> 00:56:24,532
It's a bad officer who
blames his men, Cromwell.
595
00:56:24,790 --> 00:56:27,993
I blame them not, my lord,
for they are simple men.
596
00:56:28,210 --> 00:56:31,413
But what match are farmer's
boys against gentlemen's sons?
597
00:56:31,672 --> 00:56:33,748
The battle is not yet lost, Cromwell.
598
00:56:34,008 --> 00:56:36,499
This battle were lost
before it began, my lord.
599
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,091
And in like manner, so will this war.
600
00:56:39,305 --> 00:56:41,463
In the morning, I'm
returning to Cambridge.
601
00:56:41,724 --> 00:56:44,641
If you desert the field,
I'll have you arrested.
602
00:56:44,977 --> 00:56:47,812
This war will not be won
with untrained ploughmen,
603
00:56:48,022 --> 00:56:50,857
apprentices, old, decaying serving men.
604
00:56:51,066 --> 00:56:56,061
We need men with fire in their bowels
who fear the Lord, but not the enemy!
605
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,898
As God is my witness, I am resolved
that this battle will be won.
606
00:57:00,242 --> 00:57:02,994
Therefore, it's my intention
to return to Cambridge,
607
00:57:03,245 --> 00:57:04,823
and raise an army of handpicked men,
608
00:57:05,039 --> 00:57:07,530
the like of which this
nation has never seen!
609
00:57:07,750 --> 00:57:12,412
With or without your
permission, my Lord Manchester.
610
00:59:37,566 --> 00:59:41,516
Bristol will not be permitted to fall.
It is our only seaport in the west,
611
00:59:41,695 --> 00:59:44,151
and if General Goring is
incapable of holding it,
612
00:59:44,323 --> 00:59:46,114
then I will dispatch someone who can.
613
00:59:46,283 --> 00:59:49,617
I've a mind to see Bristol, my
lord. It is a fair city, I hear.
614
00:59:49,787 --> 00:59:51,509
Then I shall place
Bristol in your command,
615
00:59:51,534 --> 00:59:53,427
nephew. Now, my lord
general, should our forces-
616
00:59:53,457 --> 00:59:54,916
Your Majesty. Yes, what is it?
617
00:59:55,084 --> 00:59:57,123
News of Cromwell's army, Your Majesty.
618
00:59:57,336 --> 01:00:00,539
Come forward. At last, Old
Ironsides ventures forth.
619
01:00:00,756 --> 01:00:01,756
Well, speak, man.
620
01:00:02,007 --> 01:00:03,751
They're about six miles
away, Your Majesty.
621
01:00:03,968 --> 01:00:05,343
Just south of Naseby.
622
01:00:05,553 --> 01:00:09,004
By my reckoning, there be
about 1000 horse and 2000 afoot.
623
01:00:09,223 --> 01:00:14,562
And what news of Manchester's army?
I saw no other army, Your Majesty.
624
01:00:14,770 --> 01:00:17,854
Was not Cromwell to join
Manchester's forces at Naseby?
625
01:00:18,065 --> 01:00:19,725
That was our intelligence, Your Majesty.
626
01:00:19,942 --> 01:00:21,602
Then Manchester be still in Lincoln.
627
01:00:21,986 --> 01:00:28,356
So Cromwell comes with his
army of 3000 to our 7000.
628
01:00:28,576 --> 01:00:32,408
By your leave, Uncle. Your Highness.
General Astley, sound the alert.
629
01:00:32,580 --> 01:00:34,380
I want every man in full
battle order at once.
630
01:00:35,708 --> 01:00:38,377
By God, we have him!
631
01:00:47,761 --> 01:00:50,003
Manchester!
632
01:00:52,099 --> 01:00:54,341
Where in the name of Christ is he?
633
01:00:54,602 --> 01:00:57,519
Know you not we are at war?
634
01:00:59,398 --> 01:01:03,645
In God's name I do swear we
fight this war single-handed.
635
01:01:03,861 --> 01:01:05,770
Oliver.
636
01:01:20,586 --> 01:01:23,457
What bloody treachery is this?
637
01:01:23,672 --> 01:01:27,836
We came to meet Manchester and
instead we find the king's army.
638
01:01:28,052 --> 01:01:29,629
Well, I shall take on the king.
639
01:01:29,845 --> 01:01:33,677
And after that if needs must,
I'll take on Manchester as well!
640
01:01:54,912 --> 01:01:59,325
Before you stands the enemy,
his three to every one of us.
641
01:01:59,583 --> 01:02:02,157
And where, in God's name, is Manchester?
642
01:02:02,586 --> 01:02:06,454
My Lord Manchester will rue the
day he has not joined us here.
643
01:02:06,674 --> 01:02:08,417
And now to your positions.
644
01:02:08,635 --> 01:02:11,589
These tactics we have practiced
often enough these past six months
645
01:02:11,804 --> 01:02:13,880
now let us put them to the test.
646
01:02:14,098 --> 01:02:20,219
For upon this field of Naseby, we'll
turn the tide of this unhappy war.
647
01:02:21,147 --> 01:02:23,269
God be with you all.
648
01:02:30,364 --> 01:02:34,065
Is this wise, Oliver?
We're heavily outnumbered.
649
01:02:34,702 --> 01:02:37,323
Was not Gideon outnumbered
by the Amalekites?
650
01:02:37,538 --> 01:02:42,081
It is not numbers that
count, but speed and surprise.
651
01:02:43,085 --> 01:02:47,712
Let no man move, except upon
the word of his commander!
652
01:02:49,002 --> 01:02:53,166
Though we be outnumbered,
we shall win this battle!
653
01:02:53,382 --> 01:02:55,671
I promise you!
654
01:02:55,884 --> 01:03:01,757
So now put your faith in
God and keep your powder dry.
655
01:03:46,977 --> 01:03:48,721
Halt!
656
01:04:24,890 --> 01:04:28,224
Attack order. Double line abreast.
657
01:04:28,435 --> 01:04:31,769
Forward. MAN: Forward!
658
01:04:49,498 --> 01:04:51,656
The man must be mad.
659
01:04:51,917 --> 01:04:53,198
Prepare to attack.
660
01:04:53,419 --> 01:04:56,622
Prepare to attack!
661
01:05:01,552 --> 01:05:04,007
Our swords are in God's hand.
662
01:05:04,221 --> 01:05:07,175
And our faith is in the Lord.
663
01:05:07,433 --> 01:05:09,639
Charge!
664
01:05:12,396 --> 01:05:13,938
Fire!
665
01:05:19,945 --> 01:05:23,444
Forward!
666
01:05:50,809 --> 01:05:52,802
Colonel!
667
01:06:00,110 --> 01:06:03,360
Regroup! Regroup!
668
01:06:06,326 --> 01:06:09,659
After them!
669
01:06:31,975 --> 01:06:33,968
Advance!
670
01:06:41,777 --> 01:06:44,149
To the rear!
671
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:57,958
Forward!
672
01:07:08,262 --> 01:07:09,886
Come on, lads!
673
01:07:10,055 --> 01:07:12,344
At the gallop!
674
01:07:39,877 --> 01:07:42,450
Your Majesty, may I
suggest that we withdraw?
675
01:07:42,671 --> 01:07:44,249
No.
676
01:08:54,535 --> 01:08:56,326
Who goes there?
677
01:08:58,122 --> 01:09:01,288
RICHARD: Captain Cromwell, 3rd Cavalry.
678
01:09:01,500 --> 01:09:03,125
Richard.
679
01:09:03,585 --> 01:09:05,578
Thanks be to God.
680
01:09:05,796 --> 01:09:08,287
Where is Oliver?
681
01:10:13,405 --> 01:10:18,067
The outrageous incompetence
and inefficiency
682
01:10:18,285 --> 01:10:20,776
of the high command
have tried my patience
683
01:10:20,996 --> 01:10:25,124
and that of my hard-pressed
army long enough.
684
01:10:25,334 --> 01:10:30,625
By my faith, I swear it would be
better that those gallant generals
685
01:10:30,839 --> 01:10:34,671
Essex and Manchester, took
up swords with the king.
686
01:10:34,885 --> 01:10:37,921
For then might we be assured of victory.
687
01:10:38,138 --> 01:10:39,301
Hear, hear.
688
01:10:39,515 --> 01:10:44,805
For by their reluctance to pursue
this war with the intensity it demands,
689
01:10:45,020 --> 01:10:49,812
they have proved treacherous both
to our cause and to this nation.
690
01:10:50,025 --> 01:10:52,232
Hear, hear.
691
01:10:52,444 --> 01:10:55,730
If we beat the king 99 times,
692
01:10:55,948 --> 01:10:58,949
he will still be our
king and we his subjects.
693
01:11:00,077 --> 01:11:04,406
If he beats us but once,
we shall all be hanged.
694
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:09,453
If that is so, then why
in the bowels of Christ
695
01:11:09,670 --> 01:11:14,415
did we take up arms against
him in the first place?
696
01:11:19,346 --> 01:11:21,303
Gentlemen,
697
01:11:23,892 --> 01:11:28,353
honest men have served us faithfully
698
01:11:28,564 --> 01:11:31,019
and many have died
699
01:11:31,233 --> 01:11:37,069
that this House may sit in freedom
and this nation live in liberty.
700
01:11:37,281 --> 01:11:41,409
In the name of God, I beseech you,
701
01:11:41,618 --> 01:11:45,367
do not desert them now.
702
01:11:51,503 --> 01:11:55,038
Unless Parliament supports
this war to the full,
703
01:11:55,257 --> 01:11:59,385
I am bound to say, in all conscience,
that I will lay down my sword
704
01:11:59,553 --> 01:12:02,471
and let this House make
its peace with the king,
705
01:12:02,641 --> 01:12:05,760
be that peace ever so base.
706
01:12:12,691 --> 01:12:17,519
Then, it is for this House to decide.
707
01:12:17,738 --> 01:12:19,565
I move that this House demands
708
01:12:19,782 --> 01:12:22,985
the immediate resignation
of the high command
709
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,947
upon the grounds that
they be no longer competent
710
01:12:26,121 --> 01:12:29,324
to command the armed
forces of this Parliament.
711
01:12:32,753 --> 01:12:35,125
Order. Order. Order!
712
01:12:35,340 --> 01:12:38,756
The motion has been proposed.
Let it now be put to the question.
713
01:12:38,926 --> 01:12:41,298
Those against Cromwell's
motion. MEN: No!
714
01:12:41,512 --> 01:12:44,429
Those in favour of the motion. MEN: Aye!
715
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,095
The ayes have it. The motion be carried.
716
01:12:49,937 --> 01:12:52,226
I move...
717
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,773
I move that Colonel
Cromwell be appointed
718
01:12:55,984 --> 01:12:57,811
commander in chief of the army.
719
01:12:58,028 --> 01:13:00,650
Yeah!
720
01:13:24,763 --> 01:13:29,010
Bristol. We must dispatch aid to
Bristol with all possible speed,
721
01:13:29,226 --> 01:13:32,429
for as long as Rupert holds
Bristol, this war be not lost.
722
01:13:32,646 --> 01:13:36,015
General Digby, if you can
detach your forces in this area
723
01:13:36,233 --> 01:13:38,522
and approach Bristol
from the east-
724
01:13:38,736 --> 01:13:44,157
To do that, my lord, would be to
expose this city to immediate attack.
725
01:13:46,326 --> 01:13:48,782
Then we move the Marquis
of Huntly's army southward.
726
01:13:48,996 --> 01:13:54,239
The marquis, my lord, surrendered
to Cromwell's forces yesterday.
727
01:13:54,460 --> 01:13:58,042
Cromwell. I hear nothing
but Cromwell, Cromwell.
728
01:13:58,255 --> 01:14:00,580
My lord, it is but a game we play here,
729
01:14:00,758 --> 01:14:04,209
a game with wooden
armies and paper flags.
730
01:14:06,096 --> 01:14:08,634
'Tis but a block of wood
you hold in your hand.
731
01:14:08,807 --> 01:14:15,225
My lords, all I ask for is a little
time. Time, my lord, costs us heavily.
732
01:14:17,566 --> 01:14:20,769
If we can hold on here
in Oxford for six weeks,
733
01:14:20,986 --> 01:14:24,651
the Scots have promised
an army of 20,000 men.
734
01:14:24,866 --> 01:14:29,694
Her Majesty is in communication
with my cousin, the king of France,
735
01:14:30,746 --> 01:14:35,075
and I have good reason to
hope for support from Ireland.
736
01:14:35,834 --> 01:14:38,539
An army from Ireland, Your Majesty?
737
01:14:38,754 --> 01:14:41,755
I would as soon join
forces with Cromwell himself
738
01:14:41,924 --> 01:14:43,963
as take up arms with the Catholics!
739
01:14:44,134 --> 01:14:46,625
I am the king and defender of my people
740
01:14:46,845 --> 01:14:50,760
and I maintain the right to seek
relief from no matter what quarter.
741
01:14:50,974 --> 01:14:54,225
As king, my lord, it is your God-given
duty to defend the faith of this nation.
742
01:14:54,395 --> 01:14:56,221
I do what I think to be right, sir.
743
01:14:56,480 --> 01:14:58,936
Catholics as allies! It is unthinkable!
744
01:14:59,149 --> 01:15:01,142
My God, if it has come to this,
745
01:15:01,318 --> 01:15:06,775
let us rather sue for an honourable
peace than fight a dishonourable war.
746
01:15:07,408 --> 01:15:10,741
I will not countenance defeat.
747
01:15:11,662 --> 01:15:14,367
Rather than abandon my
kingdom to Parliament,
748
01:15:14,581 --> 01:15:18,994
I would come to terms
with the devil himself.
749
01:15:20,462 --> 01:15:23,499
Since you came to the
throne, Your Majesty,
750
01:15:23,716 --> 01:15:27,927
your armies have persistently
persecuted our Church in Ireland.
751
01:15:28,345 --> 01:15:33,506
And yet, now that your need is
great, you turn to us for help.
752
01:15:34,852 --> 01:15:37,343
The king's actions in
Ireland, Your Excellency,
753
01:15:37,563 --> 01:15:41,098
will seem as nothing should
these Puritans come to power.
754
01:15:41,316 --> 01:15:46,311
It is not only the Crown of England
that is in peril, Excellency.
755
01:15:46,530 --> 01:15:48,819
All institutions of established order
756
01:15:49,033 --> 01:15:51,868
throughout the countries
of Europe are threatened.
757
01:15:52,036 --> 01:15:56,994
An Irish army of 20,000
men, even 15,000,
758
01:15:57,207 --> 01:15:59,283
would forestall such a threat
759
01:15:59,502 --> 01:16:03,714
and bring this wretched
war to a speedy end.
760
01:16:04,548 --> 01:16:08,131
I am instructed to say that His Holiness
761
01:16:08,344 --> 01:16:13,468
would permit an Irish force to
take up arms in this country.
762
01:16:14,558 --> 01:16:16,764
But there are certain conditions.
763
01:16:16,977 --> 01:16:21,520
First, the Catholic Church in
Ireland must be completely restored
764
01:16:22,274 --> 01:16:26,936
and permitted to practice freely
without interference or oppression.
765
01:16:27,154 --> 01:16:31,982
Secondly, all Protestant
churches in Ireland must be closed
766
01:16:32,451 --> 01:16:37,446
and all Protestant bishops and
ministers removed from office.
767
01:16:37,831 --> 01:16:42,826
Oh, there are one or two other minor
conditions of little consequence.
768
01:16:43,045 --> 01:16:45,962
What you demand, Excellency,
would be a betrayal
769
01:16:46,173 --> 01:16:50,171
of my coronation oath as
head of the English Church.
770
01:16:50,386 --> 01:16:53,007
You have a duty, Charles, to the Crown.
771
01:16:53,222 --> 01:16:56,555
For without that, you
will be head of nothing!
772
01:16:56,767 --> 01:17:00,717
May I tell His Holiness that you
will agree to these conditions?
773
01:17:09,780 --> 01:17:11,856
You have something to
say to me, Sir Edward?
774
01:17:12,324 --> 01:17:16,025
Your Majesty, His Highness Prince
Rupert attends in the council chamber.
775
01:17:16,537 --> 01:17:20,534
Rupert? Here in Oxford? Yes, my lord.
776
01:17:21,542 --> 01:17:23,036
I fear Bristol has fallen.
777
01:17:30,926 --> 01:17:35,422
Your Excellency will
excuse me. Your Majesty.
778
01:17:37,725 --> 01:17:41,176
My lords, His Majesty.
779
01:17:48,819 --> 01:17:51,986
Do you not rise, sir,
when your king approaches?
780
01:17:52,197 --> 01:17:57,025
Rise, sir! Or to your knees in shame.
781
01:18:01,081 --> 01:18:03,868
You did give me your most solemn promise
782
01:18:04,084 --> 01:18:06,789
that you would hold
Bristol for four months.
783
01:18:07,004 --> 01:18:09,080
Yet you have not held it for four weeks!
784
01:18:09,298 --> 01:18:13,876
You promised mountains,
yet you perform molehills.
785
01:18:14,094 --> 01:18:16,502
You make a knave of your king.
786
01:18:16,722 --> 01:18:18,465
My lord,
787
01:18:18,682 --> 01:18:21,517
we were besieged on all sides.
788
01:18:21,728 --> 01:18:26,141
Our men are foot-weary from battle,
ailing with plague and sickness.
789
01:18:26,691 --> 01:18:31,187
Yet you contrived to
escape with your life.
790
01:18:31,403 --> 01:18:34,606
I have brought you an army, my lord.
791
01:18:34,823 --> 01:18:40,162
An army 2000 strong, ready and
willing to fight on for their king!
792
01:18:40,371 --> 01:18:44,867
In exchange for all the corn and stores
you held in Bristol and 200 cannon.
793
01:18:45,084 --> 01:18:46,684
That was the price of your freedom, sir.
794
01:18:46,835 --> 01:18:48,828
I did what I considered to be right!
795
01:18:49,088 --> 01:18:53,037
You deserted your command, sir.
796
01:18:53,258 --> 01:18:55,381
I made a military decision.
797
01:18:55,594 --> 01:18:59,544
A decision that may
have cost us this war.
798
01:19:15,030 --> 01:19:20,237
Your action in this matter is
of such affliction to me, sir,
799
01:19:21,161 --> 01:19:24,862
that it is the greatest trial
that has yet befallen me.
800
01:19:28,043 --> 01:19:30,534
My conclusion is
801
01:19:30,754 --> 01:19:36,543
to desire you to seek subsistence
elsewhere, not in my kingdom.
802
01:19:44,435 --> 01:19:47,056
Most gracious lord,
803
01:19:47,271 --> 01:19:50,640
I do not crave forgiveness,
for by all as I hold most dear,
804
01:19:50,816 --> 01:19:53,568
I do solemnly swear that
I acted only in good faith!
805
01:19:54,111 --> 01:19:56,684
The matter is at an
end. I will hear no more.
806
01:19:56,947 --> 01:19:59,236
My lord!
807
01:19:59,491 --> 01:20:02,326
My lord, I beseech you.
808
01:20:03,537 --> 01:20:08,116
In God's name, allow that I may die
with honour. Condemn me not to live.
809
01:20:08,333 --> 01:20:09,333
Captain Lundsford.
810
01:20:09,585 --> 01:20:13,796
Do not put upon these shoulders the
terrible shame of exile and dishonour.
811
01:20:14,006 --> 01:20:18,217
I beg you, take my
life, most noble lord.
812
01:20:19,261 --> 01:20:21,301
Good Uncle,
813
01:20:21,513 --> 01:20:24,301
for pity's sake!
814
01:20:24,516 --> 01:20:27,090
His Highness is to be
kept under close guard
815
01:20:27,311 --> 01:20:30,181
until such time as he is deported.
816
01:20:31,231 --> 01:20:33,390
Very well, Your Majesty.
817
01:22:18,505 --> 01:22:23,416
Father, Mother says I'm to
go with her tonight to France.
818
01:22:23,761 --> 01:22:27,343
Is that your wish, Father? Yes.
819
01:22:27,556 --> 01:22:31,055
My duty is to stay here with
you and fight beside you.
820
01:22:31,268 --> 01:22:34,139
Your place now is at your
mother's side, Charles.
821
01:22:34,355 --> 01:22:39,230
You will help her raise
money, perhaps an army.
822
01:22:39,735 --> 01:22:44,611
Should I meet my death, and
you are safely in France,
823
01:22:44,823 --> 01:22:50,280
then England will still
have, in you, a lawful king.
824
01:22:50,496 --> 01:22:52,239
You will go with your mother.
825
01:23:01,632 --> 01:23:04,633
I love this land.
826
01:23:05,302 --> 01:23:09,929
And when this great
responsibility becomes yours
827
01:23:10,140 --> 01:23:13,390
then I pray that with God's help,
828
01:23:13,602 --> 01:23:18,264
you will reign more
happily than I have done.
829
01:23:22,361 --> 01:23:27,521
Now go, with God's speed
and your father's blessing.
830
01:23:35,332 --> 01:23:37,372
Oh, Charles.
831
01:24:00,983 --> 01:24:03,770
I love you.
832
01:24:55,496 --> 01:25:00,288
Your Majesty, it is my most solemn
duty to place you under arrest.
833
01:25:01,585 --> 01:25:06,662
By whose command, sir? By the
command of Parliament, sir.
834
01:25:08,175 --> 01:25:12,671
I know of no authority in
England above that of the king.
835
01:25:15,349 --> 01:25:18,516
It is upon that issue
that this war was fought.
836
01:25:22,481 --> 01:25:25,932
Whither am I to be
taken? To London, sir.
837
01:25:28,195 --> 01:25:32,109
You must grant me a little time
to-We leave for London at once.
838
01:25:32,324 --> 01:25:36,488
And my children, what of them? We
will take care of your children.
839
01:25:36,704 --> 01:25:40,618
His Majesty will have
all the time he requires.
840
01:25:40,833 --> 01:25:43,834
As for your children, sir,
you may take them with you.
841
01:25:48,298 --> 01:25:51,050
I thank you, sir.
842
01:26:06,316 --> 01:26:08,986
PEOPLE SINGING: Him serve with fear
843
01:26:09,194 --> 01:26:13,607
His praise foretell
844
01:26:13,824 --> 01:26:17,323
Come ye before him
845
01:26:17,536 --> 01:26:22,115
And rejoice
846
01:26:22,332 --> 01:26:25,333
The Lord ye know
847
01:26:25,544 --> 01:26:29,957
Is God indeed
848
01:26:30,174 --> 01:26:32,961
Without our aid
849
01:26:33,177 --> 01:26:37,720
He did us mak e
850
01:26:37,931 --> 01:26:39,971
We are his flock
851
01:26:40,184 --> 01:26:43,469
General, John Pym is dead.
852
01:26:45,189 --> 01:26:47,976
And for his sheep
853
01:26:48,193 --> 01:26:53,151
He doth us tak e
854
01:26:55,157 --> 01:26:57,363
When did it happen? This morning.
855
01:26:57,576 --> 01:27:01,408
What is it? John Pym is dead.
856
01:27:01,622 --> 01:27:04,539
Parliament is discussing
peace terms with the king.
857
01:27:04,750 --> 01:27:06,659
Does the army have no say in this?
858
01:27:06,835 --> 01:27:09,042
The army has been ordered to disband.
859
01:27:09,213 --> 01:27:11,371
In God's name, did we fight this war
860
01:27:11,548 --> 01:27:14,668
that the politicians should
take over behind our backs?!
861
01:27:14,843 --> 01:27:17,465
If Parliament has decided
the army will disband,
862
01:27:17,638 --> 01:27:19,262
then the army will disband.
863
01:27:19,515 --> 01:27:21,355
I say we take the army
and march on Parliament.
864
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:24,636
The sword will not rule this land.
865
01:27:24,853 --> 01:27:27,309
We fought to institute
a parliamentary system
866
01:27:27,523 --> 01:27:32,315
and overthrow the very
tyranny which you now propose.
867
01:27:32,528 --> 01:27:34,853
And who is talking to
the king? Parliament?
868
01:27:35,072 --> 01:27:38,275
I doubt it. I warrant I know
who is doing all the talking.
869
01:27:43,122 --> 01:27:48,496
I have these past three days been in
consultation with His Majesty the king.
870
01:27:48,711 --> 01:27:51,202
And I am pleased to inform the House
871
01:27:51,422 --> 01:27:54,672
that the king is now prepared
to discuss peace terms
872
01:27:54,883 --> 01:27:59,545
provided that the army stand down.
873
01:28:00,347 --> 01:28:06,599
I have given this House's assurance
that his wishes will be complied with.
874
01:28:06,812 --> 01:28:09,564
Further, in recognition
of the very great debt
875
01:28:09,773 --> 01:28:12,774
this House owes its
commander, General Cromwell,
876
01:28:12,985 --> 01:28:16,568
it is proposed to award him a
pension of 3000 pounds a year
877
01:28:17,281 --> 01:28:20,032
together with certain estates
in the county of Cambridge.
878
01:28:23,078 --> 01:28:27,954
It is further proposed that
the sum of 2000 pounds-
879
01:28:31,336 --> 01:28:37,422
Such low treachery is not worthy
even of you, my Lord Manchester.
880
01:28:38,677 --> 01:28:42,046
Am I to believe my ears?
881
01:28:42,264 --> 01:28:44,720
Did this nation win a bloody civil war
882
01:28:44,933 --> 01:28:48,267
in order the king should
dictate the terms of peace?
883
01:28:48,645 --> 01:28:51,931
I have already discussed the matter
at great length with His Majesty-
884
01:28:52,149 --> 01:28:56,063
You have discussed it? It is a
matter for this House to discuss.
885
01:28:56,278 --> 01:28:57,737
Hear, hear!
886
01:28:57,946 --> 01:29:02,240
The king will not come to terms,
sir, until the army stand down.
887
01:29:02,451 --> 01:29:03,910
Hear, hear.
888
01:29:04,119 --> 01:29:09,576
And the army will not stand down
until the king comes to terms.
889
01:29:09,792 --> 01:29:12,199
So if the king will
not talk to this House,
890
01:29:12,378 --> 01:29:14,417
then let the king talk to the army.
891
01:29:15,297 --> 01:29:18,333
Out of the question. The
king would never agree.
892
01:29:18,884 --> 01:29:24,720
Parliament is behind us, sir, and on
this occasion, we have the majority.
893
01:29:30,354 --> 01:29:33,023
Sir Thomas Fairfax.
894
01:29:46,704 --> 01:29:50,915
He's bringing in the
army! SPEAKER: Order! Order!
895
01:29:51,166 --> 01:29:53,373
Order, I say!
896
01:29:53,836 --> 01:29:57,086
Order! Silence! Order!
897
01:29:58,048 --> 01:29:59,875
Order!
898
01:30:00,092 --> 01:30:01,716
Silence!
899
01:30:01,927 --> 01:30:03,421
Order!
900
01:30:04,763 --> 01:30:09,224
I believe, my Lord Manchester,
that now I have the majority.
901
01:30:09,727 --> 01:30:13,178
This is dictatorship. It
will mean a new civil war.
902
01:30:14,523 --> 01:30:16,563
Order!
903
01:30:17,985 --> 01:30:20,523
Honourable members,
904
01:30:21,530 --> 01:30:26,026
I swear before my God that
you give me no alternative.
905
01:30:26,244 --> 01:30:29,245
When those liberties for
which this army and this nation
906
01:30:29,455 --> 01:30:33,784
have fought so hard are
most solemnly guaranteed
907
01:30:34,001 --> 01:30:36,574
then this army will stand down.
908
01:30:36,795 --> 01:30:41,504
And upon that, you have
my most sacred promise.
909
01:31:09,536 --> 01:31:13,036
And who have we here? It is I, my lord.
910
01:31:13,248 --> 01:31:16,249
You were supposed to have run,
Sir Edward, not let me catch you.
911
01:31:16,460 --> 01:31:20,707
I'm afraid I'm getting a little
too old for such games, my lord.
912
01:31:20,923 --> 01:31:24,920
Cromwell is here to see you. Oh.
913
01:31:28,263 --> 01:31:30,552
You must play on your own now, children.
914
01:31:30,724 --> 01:31:34,639
Your father has other games to play.
915
01:31:34,853 --> 01:31:39,147
Prince Henry, you will be good
enough to give me back my hat.
916
01:31:39,900 --> 01:31:41,809
Sir.
917
01:31:55,708 --> 01:31:59,492
Gentlemen, His Majesty.
918
01:32:07,428 --> 01:32:09,716
We came to present our terms, my lord.
919
01:32:09,930 --> 01:32:13,797
If Your Majesty will be so kind
as to study these proposals.
920
01:32:14,018 --> 01:32:17,636
Has Parliament approved this
treaty? Parliament no longer truly
921
01:32:17,813 --> 01:32:20,600
represents the people of
this nation, Sir Edward.
922
01:32:20,774 --> 01:32:22,233
And you, Mr. Cromwell,
923
01:32:22,401 --> 01:32:25,437
do you truly represent
the people of this nation?
924
01:32:26,447 --> 01:32:28,772
I represent the army, sir,
925
01:32:28,991 --> 01:32:32,574
and the army is the heart
and conscience of the people.
926
01:32:32,745 --> 01:32:37,869
So having failed to come
to terms with Parliament,
927
01:32:38,083 --> 01:32:41,369
you would now negotiate with the king.
928
01:32:41,587 --> 01:32:45,252
I am not bound to negotiate with anyone.
929
01:32:45,466 --> 01:32:47,423
With 50,000 men under my command
930
01:32:47,634 --> 01:32:51,169
I could impose a government
on this nation overnight.
931
01:32:51,388 --> 01:32:56,050
One is given to wondering, Mr.
Cromwell, why you do not do that.
932
01:32:56,268 --> 01:32:59,139
I am deeply convinced, my lord,
it be the duty of Parliament
933
01:32:59,355 --> 01:33:02,889
to frame a constitutional
government, and not the army.
934
01:33:03,108 --> 01:33:05,943
Then I do not see that you
have any need of me at all.
935
01:33:06,445 --> 01:33:08,687
On the contrary, sir.
936
01:33:08,906 --> 01:33:12,773
An England without a
king is unthinkable.
937
01:33:12,993 --> 01:33:16,196
But withal, a king
that can command respect
938
01:33:16,413 --> 01:33:18,951
a monarch who governs, not from fear,
939
01:33:19,124 --> 01:33:21,959
but by the affection of a free people.
940
01:33:23,087 --> 01:33:26,835
Such a king could reunite
this great nation of ours
941
01:33:27,466 --> 01:33:32,757
and make the name of England
the noblest in all Christendom.
942
01:33:32,971 --> 01:33:35,344
Should you adorn that
inheritance, my lord,
943
01:33:35,557 --> 01:33:38,642
all Englishmen would be
proud to call you king.
944
01:33:40,270 --> 01:33:44,648
Mr. Cromwell, I do confess
that I did greatly misjudge you,
945
01:33:44,858 --> 01:33:47,646
for I did mark you as an ambitious man.
946
01:33:49,029 --> 01:33:53,359
To these ends, my lord, I am ambitious.
947
01:33:53,575 --> 01:33:56,612
Then you have my respect, sir.
948
01:33:57,287 --> 01:33:58,995
Thank you, my lord.
949
01:34:02,334 --> 01:34:06,996
We shall return in the morning, sir. I
shall require a little longer to study
950
01:34:07,214 --> 01:34:09,088
this document. Perhaps a week.
951
01:34:09,675 --> 01:34:11,751
As Your Majesty pleases.
952
01:34:11,969 --> 01:34:16,714
I sincerely hope that our future
relations may be equally amiable, sir.
953
01:34:17,683 --> 01:34:21,052
That is my hope also, my lord.
954
01:34:26,650 --> 01:34:28,524
A cunning fellow.
955
01:34:28,736 --> 01:34:30,527
I believe him to be a
sincere man, my lord.
956
01:34:30,738 --> 01:34:31,769
Indeed.
957
01:34:31,989 --> 01:34:34,278
If these proposals be acceptable,
958
01:34:34,491 --> 01:34:38,571
there never was a Crown so
nearly lost, so easily recovered.
959
01:34:38,787 --> 01:34:42,121
Whatever these proposals
may be, Sir Edward,
960
01:34:42,332 --> 01:34:46,081
they are not acceptable to the king.
961
01:34:51,925 --> 01:34:54,084
Cromwell has
betrayed us! CROWD: Aye!
962
01:34:54,470 --> 01:34:58,847
We have given our blood and our lives
in this war to put down this king!
963
01:34:59,058 --> 01:35:01,346
If Cromwell comes to terms with him now,
964
01:35:01,935 --> 01:35:04,473
what price our freedom then?
965
01:35:04,688 --> 01:35:06,977
Get back, will you?!
966
01:35:07,191 --> 01:35:12,481
I have served General Cromwell
faithfully all my life,
967
01:35:12,696 --> 01:35:18,450
and I reckoned him to be a man who
feared God and did honour his word!
968
01:35:19,078 --> 01:35:24,914
But in this business he has shown
himself to be a man of no honour!
969
01:35:25,125 --> 01:35:26,288
Aye!
970
01:35:27,169 --> 01:35:32,460
We fought this war to remove this king,
971
01:35:32,674 --> 01:35:35,047
not to put him back on the throne!
972
01:35:35,302 --> 01:35:39,715
Aye! I say, let us march on London,
973
01:35:39,933 --> 01:35:41,842
let us take Parliament,
974
01:35:42,393 --> 01:35:45,097
and then let the king
try to negotiate with us!
975
01:35:51,193 --> 01:35:52,901
Make way for Cromwell.
976
01:35:53,112 --> 01:35:56,694
Traitors! Mutineers!
977
01:35:57,408 --> 01:36:01,571
I don't have to tell you, any of
you, you could all be hanged for this.
978
01:36:01,829 --> 01:36:04,699
We are not serfs,
general, nor mercenaries.
979
01:36:04,957 --> 01:36:08,657
We fought for the Lord in our cause,
and now we have a right to speak.
980
01:36:08,919 --> 01:36:13,628
You have no rights to
preach revolt and mutiny.
981
01:36:13,841 --> 01:36:18,384
As for you, John Carter, I did expect
a greater degree of loyalty from you.
982
01:36:18,637 --> 01:36:22,386
I am still loyal to what I fought
for, sir. Can the same be said of you?
983
01:36:22,641 --> 01:36:27,184
I have not betrayed my God,
country, Parliament or my conscience.
984
01:36:27,438 --> 01:36:31,222
Where was your conscience this day,
when you parleyed with the king?
985
01:36:31,483 --> 01:36:34,520
I tell you, all of you,
986
01:36:34,737 --> 01:36:39,149
I do most honestly believe that
we have taught this king a lesson.
987
01:36:39,366 --> 01:36:44,277
And he will prove most honourable.
Upon that I would stake my life.
988
01:36:44,955 --> 01:36:47,197
Traitor! Traitor!
989
01:36:47,416 --> 01:36:50,619
This is a military camp,
sir, not a debating chamber.
990
01:36:50,919 --> 01:36:54,123
Under military law, any man
inciting mutiny can be hanged.
991
01:36:54,339 --> 01:36:55,882
Colonel Harrison. Yes, General.
992
01:36:56,133 --> 01:36:59,798
These three men will draw lots.
One of them will be hanged.
993
01:37:00,012 --> 01:37:03,677
Captain Lancing, get a
length of rope. Yes, sir.
994
01:37:03,891 --> 01:37:04,891
You, man. Yes, sir.
995
01:37:05,100 --> 01:37:06,100
Pick up some straws.
996
01:37:29,249 --> 01:37:33,461
General, there is a Sir
Edward Hyde to see you.
997
01:37:41,845 --> 01:37:45,131
Sir Edward, has the king
considered our terms?
998
01:37:45,349 --> 01:37:48,018
The king, sir, has not
even read your terms.
999
01:37:48,227 --> 01:37:52,474
Nor, will I venture, has he
any intention of so doing.
1000
01:37:52,690 --> 01:37:55,893
He has, this day, drawn up a secret
treaty with Manchester and Essex
1001
01:37:56,068 --> 01:38:00,148
to raise a Scottish army
against the Parliamentary forces.
1002
01:38:00,364 --> 01:38:04,575
He has already consented to
a Catholic army from Ireland.
1003
01:38:04,785 --> 01:38:07,323
While you negotiate
a settlement with him,
1004
01:38:07,538 --> 01:38:11,405
he is planning a second civil war.
1005
01:38:16,463 --> 01:38:21,458
I do confess that I have these many
years given my allegiance to a man
1006
01:38:21,969 --> 01:38:25,669
not worthy of the
title, king of England.
1007
01:38:31,311 --> 01:38:33,849
Colonel Harrison!
1008
01:38:55,753 --> 01:38:58,707
I will have this king's head..
1009
01:38:58,922 --> 01:39:04,261
Aye, and the Crown upon it.
1010
01:39:06,889 --> 01:39:11,218
This obstinate king, this man of blood,
1011
01:39:11,435 --> 01:39:16,061
whose heart God has hardened,
can no longer be trusted.
1012
01:39:16,273 --> 01:39:21,101
For in prodigious treason, he has
revealed himself to be a traitor.
1013
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:23,562
A man of no honour.
1014
01:39:23,781 --> 01:39:28,739
A man unfitted to bear
the title, king of England.
1015
01:39:28,952 --> 01:39:31,325
Hear, hear.
1016
01:39:31,538 --> 01:39:34,243
I demand, therefore,
in the name of the army
1017
01:39:34,458 --> 01:39:38,408
and the people of this nation
that Charles I, king of England,
1018
01:39:38,629 --> 01:39:45,082
be brought hence to stand trial
for his life on a charge of treason.
1019
01:39:49,348 --> 01:39:53,013
Oyez, oyez, oyez.
1020
01:39:53,227 --> 01:39:54,507
All manner of persons
1021
01:39:54,687 --> 01:39:57,012
having anything to do with this court,
1022
01:39:57,189 --> 01:39:59,858
come forward and give your attendance.
1023
01:40:00,025 --> 01:40:03,975
Every man to keep silence
upon pain of imprisonment.
1024
01:40:04,196 --> 01:40:07,197
God save the king.
1025
01:40:29,263 --> 01:40:32,596
Let the prisoner be brought in.
1026
01:41:10,679 --> 01:41:14,380
The clerk of arraigns
will read the charges.
1027
01:41:17,478 --> 01:41:20,514
"Charles Stuart, king of England,
1028
01:41:20,731 --> 01:41:24,147
you stand before this court
charged with high treason.
1029
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:28,309
In that being admitted king of
England, and therein trusted with power
1030
01:41:28,530 --> 01:41:32,742
to govern according to the laws,
you did out of wickedness and design
1031
01:41:32,951 --> 01:41:37,530
erect and uphold in yourself an
unlimited and tyrannical power.
1032
01:41:37,748 --> 01:41:42,125
To rule at your will and overthrow
the rights and liberties of the people.
1033
01:41:42,378 --> 01:41:47,716
And that you did traitorously
and maliciously levy a cruel war
1034
01:41:47,925 --> 01:41:49,917
against Parliament and the people.
1035
01:41:50,177 --> 01:41:56,132
And are therefore guilty of all the
treasons, rapings, burnings, spoils,
1036
01:41:56,350 --> 01:42:01,344
desolations, damages and mischiefs to
the nation committed in the said war.
1037
01:42:01,605 --> 01:42:04,808
Thus, on behalf of
the people of England,
1038
01:42:05,025 --> 01:42:07,563
this court impeaches you as a tyrant,
1039
01:42:07,778 --> 01:42:12,938
traitor, murderer and public enemy
to the Commonwealth of England."
1040
01:42:13,158 --> 01:42:15,198
God save the king!
1041
01:42:15,411 --> 01:42:17,368
Silence!
1042
01:42:20,582 --> 01:42:25,328
Sir, you have heard
the charges against you.
1043
01:42:25,796 --> 01:42:28,121
The court expects an answer.
1044
01:42:28,340 --> 01:42:33,465
First, I would know by what
authority, I mean lawful authority,
1045
01:42:33,679 --> 01:42:37,759
I am brought here and carried from
place to place, and I know not what.
1046
01:42:37,975 --> 01:42:42,138
And by what authority you
presume to sit in judgement on me.
1047
01:42:42,896 --> 01:42:45,897
Remember, I am your lawful king.
1048
01:42:46,817 --> 01:42:48,644
Think well upon it.
1049
01:42:48,861 --> 01:42:53,523
I have a trust committed to me
by God, by old and lawful descent.
1050
01:42:53,741 --> 01:42:57,525
Therefore, let me know by what
authority I am brought here,
1051
01:42:57,745 --> 01:42:59,239
and I shall answer.
1052
01:42:59,747 --> 01:43:02,416
It is not for the prisoner
to question the court.
1053
01:43:05,502 --> 01:43:08,752
I am no ordinary prisoner, sir.
1054
01:43:09,882 --> 01:43:13,333
An answer, sir, the
court demands an answer.
1055
01:43:15,387 --> 01:43:17,179
Then I refuse an answer.
1056
01:43:17,389 --> 01:43:20,509
Sir, you are before a court of justice.
1057
01:43:22,186 --> 01:43:24,178
Well, sir...
1058
01:43:24,396 --> 01:43:26,852
I see that I am before a power.
1059
01:43:29,443 --> 01:43:31,768
The court will keep silent.
1060
01:43:33,030 --> 01:43:35,900
Mr. Solicitor General, are
your witnesses prepared?
1061
01:43:36,116 --> 01:43:38,903
They are, my lord. Then
let them be brought forth.
1062
01:43:39,119 --> 01:43:42,488
Call Sir Edward Hyde.
1063
01:43:48,921 --> 01:43:54,163
And you saw the king and his
wife alone in their chambers
1064
01:43:54,385 --> 01:43:58,596
with this Catholic Archbishop Rinuccini?
1065
01:43:58,806 --> 01:44:00,348
I did.
1066
01:44:00,557 --> 01:44:04,092
And what did you assume was
the purpose of this meeting?
1067
01:44:13,570 --> 01:44:15,729
You are obliged to answer, Sir Edward.
1068
01:44:17,950 --> 01:44:19,777
To raise an Irish army, my lord.
1069
01:44:20,244 --> 01:44:23,909
To fight against the
Parliamentary forces?
1070
01:44:25,416 --> 01:44:28,950
And at this time, was
the king in communication
1071
01:44:29,169 --> 01:44:31,791
with any other foreign power?
1072
01:44:33,841 --> 01:44:39,048
Yes. Yes, with the king of
France and with the Dutch.
1073
01:44:39,263 --> 01:44:42,466
For the same purpose? Yes.
1074
01:44:43,267 --> 01:44:48,474
To raise a foreign army
to invade this country,
1075
01:44:48,689 --> 01:44:54,561
and to perpetuate the war against
the people of this kingdom.
1076
01:45:00,951 --> 01:45:03,323
Sir Edward?
1077
01:45:06,790 --> 01:45:08,201
Yes.
1078
01:45:10,544 --> 01:45:13,165
To the block with him!
1079
01:45:56,340 --> 01:46:00,088
Sir, throughout the three
days of this hearing,
1080
01:46:00,302 --> 01:46:03,718
this court has patiently
awaited your pleasure
1081
01:46:03,931 --> 01:46:07,596
to hear what you have to say in
answer to the charges against you.
1082
01:46:07,810 --> 01:46:09,802
Yet you have declined to speak.
1083
01:46:10,020 --> 01:46:14,433
I am most willing, sir, to
answer before Parliament,
1084
01:46:14,650 --> 01:46:17,520
but not before this assembly
1085
01:46:17,861 --> 01:46:21,610
whose authority I refuse to acknowledge.
1086
01:46:22,324 --> 01:46:26,108
Sir, what answers you may offer
the commons can be given here.
1087
01:46:26,328 --> 01:46:29,744
For this court does sit in the
name of the House of Commons.
1088
01:46:30,374 --> 01:46:34,703
Sir, if, as you have said, you do
love the liberty of the subject,
1089
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:39,297
you will grant me, your king,
a hearing before Parliament,
1090
01:46:39,508 --> 01:46:43,257
which is the lords
and commons assembled.
1091
01:46:44,221 --> 01:46:47,555
Sir, I submit you seek only
to delay the course of justice.
1092
01:46:47,933 --> 01:46:51,053
By your favour, sir, I
seek only those rights
1093
01:46:51,270 --> 01:46:56,560
which, as your king, I would
grant to any one of my subjects.
1094
01:46:58,694 --> 01:47:00,402
Silence!
1095
01:47:02,781 --> 01:47:06,150
Sir, this court requires to
know if you have anything to say
1096
01:47:06,368 --> 01:47:09,322
before judgement is passed upon you.
1097
01:47:09,705 --> 01:47:12,908
I have nothing to say to you.
1098
01:47:14,376 --> 01:47:17,579
Then this court will
retire to judgement.
1099
01:47:21,467 --> 01:47:24,136
What ails thee? Art thou mad?
1100
01:47:24,345 --> 01:47:26,966
Have we come thus far that
you would betray us now?
1101
01:47:27,181 --> 01:47:31,095
There is nothing in the Constitution
of this land that entitles us
1102
01:47:31,310 --> 01:47:34,679
to bring a king to trial. Is he
not answerable to his subjects?
1103
01:47:34,897 --> 01:47:36,474
The trial is clearly
illegal, and I will have-
1104
01:47:36,690 --> 01:47:39,691
Is not the king
answerable to his subjects?
1105
01:47:39,902 --> 01:47:42,819
The king, sir, is
answerable only to God.
1106
01:47:43,030 --> 01:47:45,699
Then, by God, when he dies, he
shall have much to answer for.
1107
01:47:45,908 --> 01:47:49,028
We have gone too far in this matter.
This commission has no authority-
1108
01:47:49,286 --> 01:47:52,038
Our authority lies
with the Parliament, sir.
1109
01:47:52,247 --> 01:47:53,872
Parliament is
the law in this land.
1110
01:47:54,083 --> 01:47:57,534
If the charges against
this king be not proven,
1111
01:47:57,753 --> 01:48:01,371
what terrible retribution may
he not bring down upon our heads?
1112
01:48:01,590 --> 01:48:03,381
In the name of God!
1113
01:48:03,592 --> 01:48:06,926
What are we all? Men?
1114
01:48:07,930 --> 01:48:13,802
Cowering and quivering
like downtrodden serfs.
1115
01:48:14,269 --> 01:48:20,889
The king is not England,
and England is not the king!
1116
01:48:23,570 --> 01:48:29,656
It is not the survival of the
king that is at issue here.
1117
01:48:30,244 --> 01:48:34,573
It is the survival of England.
1118
01:48:35,457 --> 01:48:42,076
And this king, by his
dishonesties, by his treasons,
1119
01:48:42,297 --> 01:48:45,631
and by his secret treaties
with foreign powers,
1120
01:48:45,843 --> 01:48:52,213
has shown himself to be ill-fitted
to govern this great nation!
1121
01:48:55,310 --> 01:49:00,601
As God is my witness, Oliver,
I desire not the king's death,
1122
01:49:00,816 --> 01:49:03,687
but the settlement of
this nation in peace.
1123
01:49:04,236 --> 01:49:09,990
Do you think I don't desire that?
Go back to my farm and my family?
1124
01:49:20,210 --> 01:49:24,707
Very well. Go again to this king.
1125
01:49:24,923 --> 01:49:27,593
Offer him once more our terms.
1126
01:49:27,801 --> 01:49:31,253
Though God knows, he should be
well acquainted with them by now.
1127
01:49:31,473 --> 01:49:33,964
Tell him he may sit upon his throne,
1128
01:49:34,183 --> 01:49:37,302
but that this country will
be governed by Parliament,
1129
01:49:37,519 --> 01:49:40,971
and Parliament will be
elected by the people.
1130
01:49:41,357 --> 01:49:47,027
Now, Sir Thomas, if you can
achieve this where we have failed,
1131
01:49:47,237 --> 01:49:50,155
this trial will end.
1132
01:50:05,464 --> 01:50:08,381
Here is a warrant demanding
the death of the king
1133
01:50:08,592 --> 01:50:11,712
upon the charge of high
treason against this nation.
1134
01:50:13,098 --> 01:50:18,388
It will require all your
signatures. Sir Thomas.
1135
01:50:21,523 --> 01:50:26,232
I have come thus far with you,
Oliver, in our great cause...
1136
01:50:26,443 --> 01:50:30,227
but I will not sign this warrant.
1137
01:50:52,511 --> 01:50:54,587
Oliver, I cannot. Is
he guilty or not guilty?
1138
01:50:54,805 --> 01:50:56,430
He is the king. Is he guilty?
1139
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:58,847
Yes. Sign it.
1140
01:51:31,133 --> 01:51:35,961
Charles Stuart, king of England...
1141
01:51:36,722 --> 01:51:39,427
you have been found
guilty of high treason
1142
01:51:39,641 --> 01:51:42,049
against the good people of this nation
1143
01:51:42,269 --> 01:51:44,938
represented in Parliament,
by whose authority
1144
01:51:45,147 --> 01:51:48,183
this court does sit
in judgement upon you.
1145
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:52,445
Upon this charge, it is
the sentence of this court
1146
01:51:52,696 --> 01:51:55,021
that you be taken hence to an...
1147
01:51:57,785 --> 01:52:00,240
appointed place
1148
01:52:01,455 --> 01:52:04,456
and put to death by the severing
of the head from the body.
1149
01:52:05,250 --> 01:52:07,373
And that is the sentence
of the whole court.
1150
01:52:10,339 --> 01:52:12,877
Remove the prisoner. MAN: Silence.
1151
01:52:14,093 --> 01:52:16,666
Will you hear me a word, sir?
1152
01:52:16,887 --> 01:52:18,844
No, sir, you are not to
be heard after sentence.
1153
01:52:19,056 --> 01:52:21,095
By your favour, sir.
1154
01:52:21,308 --> 01:52:25,436
I know as much law as any man
here. I have the right to be heard.
1155
01:52:25,729 --> 01:52:29,478
No, sir. Guard! Remove your prisoner!
1156
01:52:32,069 --> 01:52:37,027
I demand to be heard!
I am your lawful king!
1157
01:52:38,992 --> 01:52:41,365
Blood for the traitor!
1158
01:53:46,977 --> 01:53:51,520
General. Sir Thomas.
1159
01:53:56,570 --> 01:53:59,939
I have been this past
night to the commissioners.
1160
01:54:00,407 --> 01:54:02,945
They have instructed
me to lay before you
1161
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:06,861
this warrant for 40,000 pounds
1162
01:54:07,289 --> 01:54:10,539
in return for the king's life.
1163
01:54:19,843 --> 01:54:26,178
How little you know me that you
think you can buy my principles.
1164
01:54:29,103 --> 01:54:32,803
You insult me with that cheap bribe.
1165
01:54:39,530 --> 01:54:41,937
Will you not think on it?
1166
01:54:42,157 --> 01:54:48,527
I have thought on it. And well.
1167
01:54:50,374 --> 01:54:55,795
By my God, I have thought on it.
1168
01:54:57,965 --> 01:55:02,093
"Then the soldiers of the governor
took Jesus into the common hall.
1169
01:55:02,302 --> 01:55:05,506
And they stripped him and
put on him a scarlet robe.
1170
01:55:05,764 --> 01:55:10,391
And when they had platted a crown
of thorns, they put it upon his head.
1171
01:55:10,602 --> 01:55:12,678
And they bowed the knee
before him and mocked him
1172
01:55:12,896 --> 01:55:17,689
saying, 'Hail, king of the
Jews!' And they spit-"
1173
01:55:17,901 --> 01:55:19,811
Your Majesty. Is it time?
1174
01:55:20,029 --> 01:55:24,489
No, Your Majesty. Her Royal
Highness, the Princess Elizabeth,
1175
01:55:24,742 --> 01:55:27,945
and his Royal Highness, Prince Henry.
1176
01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:32,702
Elizabeth, sweetheart.
1177
01:55:36,837 --> 01:55:40,253
Don't grieve for me. Henry.
1178
01:55:45,637 --> 01:55:49,220
Now, both of you...
1179
01:55:54,521 --> 01:55:57,392
mark what I say.
1180
01:56:03,614 --> 01:56:08,489
They will cut off thy
father's head. Shh, there now.
1181
01:56:08,702 --> 01:56:12,830
Henry, pay careful
attention to what I say.
1182
01:56:13,707 --> 01:56:16,578
You must not let them make you king,
1183
01:56:16,794 --> 01:56:20,376
not while your brother
Charles is still alive.
1184
01:56:20,589 --> 01:56:24,836
I would be torn to pieces
first. That's my son.
1185
01:56:26,387 --> 01:56:29,672
Today, your brother will be king.
1186
01:56:31,767 --> 01:56:34,519
Elizabeth, now.
1187
01:56:35,771 --> 01:56:39,555
It's a glorious death to which I go.
1188
01:56:41,402 --> 01:56:43,727
Tell your mother...
1189
01:56:47,825 --> 01:56:52,902
that my love for her
was the same to the last.
1190
01:56:55,165 --> 01:57:00,408
And remember me in your prayers.
1191
01:57:05,217 --> 01:57:08,668
The king's escort,
Your Majesty. Thank you.
1192
01:57:10,764 --> 01:57:13,765
God bless you both.
1193
01:57:32,578 --> 01:57:34,784
What kind of morning is it, colonel?
1194
01:57:34,997 --> 01:57:38,995
Indeed it is somewhat
chilly, Your Majesty.
1195
01:57:39,209 --> 01:57:42,910
Then I was wise to
put on a second shirt.
1196
01:57:43,881 --> 01:57:47,795
For if I trembled with the cold, my
enemies would say it was from fear.
1197
01:57:48,010 --> 01:57:52,471
I would not expose
myself to such a reproach.
1198
01:57:55,225 --> 01:58:00,137
Please keep them. Oh, Your Majesty.
1199
01:58:01,190 --> 01:58:04,393
I do not fear death, Sir Thomas.
1200
01:58:04,735 --> 01:58:08,068
It is not at all terrible to me.
1201
01:58:10,325 --> 01:58:13,610
I thank my God I have prepared for it.
1202
01:58:13,827 --> 01:58:17,031
Are we to ride to Westminster, or walk?
1203
01:58:17,247 --> 01:58:21,115
My orders are that
we walk, Your Majesty.
1204
01:58:21,335 --> 01:58:27,088
Admirable. The morning
air will do me good.
1205
01:58:37,518 --> 01:58:40,187
The king's coming.
1206
01:58:40,979 --> 01:58:45,392
He's coming now. The king's
coming! Hey, you. Stop him!
1207
01:58:45,651 --> 01:58:49,067
Gentlemen, the king comes.
1208
01:58:57,579 --> 01:58:59,987
Traitor! MAN 2: Execute him!
1209
01:59:04,169 --> 01:59:06,376
Execute him!
1210
01:59:11,677 --> 01:59:16,006
And a true, urgent sword in our
hand. God bless, Your Majesty.
1211
01:59:16,223 --> 01:59:18,844
God bless you.
1212
01:59:25,858 --> 01:59:29,024
Escort, halt!
1213
02:00:45,813 --> 02:00:51,353
Well, gentlemen, are you afraid to
kill your king with an open face?
1214
02:01:04,164 --> 02:01:08,791
I will not delay you long,
but will say only this to you:
1215
02:01:09,294 --> 02:01:15,249
As God is my witness, I have forgiven
those that have brought me here
1216
02:01:15,884 --> 02:01:20,546
and pray that my death be
not laid to their charge.
1217
02:01:20,764 --> 02:01:23,516
For I do endeavour, even to the last,
1218
02:01:23,726 --> 02:01:29,846
to maintain the peace of my kingdom.
1219
02:01:31,026 --> 02:01:32,354
I go now
1220
02:01:32,568 --> 02:01:38,820
from a corruptible to
an incorruptible crown.
1221
02:01:40,284 --> 02:01:43,735
To everlasting peace.
1222
02:02:08,270 --> 02:02:11,022
Will that suffice?
1223
02:02:24,953 --> 02:02:29,450
Permit me, sir, that I may pray
a while before the blow is struck.
1224
02:02:29,917 --> 02:02:33,749
Then when I put out my hands so:
1225
02:02:35,089 --> 02:02:37,876
That will be the sign.
1226
02:02:49,937 --> 02:02:52,973
Lord, let us now, thy servant,
depart in peace according to thy word.
1227
02:02:53,315 --> 02:02:55,246
For mine eyes have seen
thy salvation which thou
1228
02:02:55,271 --> 02:02:57,004
has prepared before the
face of all people.
1229
02:02:57,194 --> 02:02:59,602
Glory be to the Father and to
the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
1230
02:02:59,822 --> 02:03:02,526
As it was in the beginning
is now and ever shall be.
1231
02:03:15,963 --> 02:03:22,582
Behold the head of a traitor!
1232
02:03:51,415 --> 02:03:54,167
We did not assassinate.
1233
02:03:54,376 --> 02:03:57,911
Nor was this thing done in a corner,
it was done in the face of God
1234
02:03:58,130 --> 02:03:59,921
and of all men.
1235
02:04:00,507 --> 02:04:05,216
The office of king is now
abolished. Long live Parliament.
1236
02:04:05,429 --> 02:04:10,803
Long live the Republic. MEN:
Aye, long live the Republic.
1237
02:04:21,278 --> 02:04:25,490
Richard, I want to go back to Cambridge.
1238
02:04:25,699 --> 02:04:30,076
Will you come with me,
son? If you wish, Father.
1239
02:04:30,287 --> 02:04:34,036
It will be peace and quiet there now.
1240
02:04:34,541 --> 02:04:38,621
God knows, my soul
craves a little peace.
1241
02:05:18,794 --> 02:05:22,245
You must not think on it, Oliver.
1242
02:05:22,965 --> 02:05:28,386
'Tis over now. The war, everything.
1243
02:05:28,887 --> 02:05:31,805
'Tis over and done.
1244
02:05:39,106 --> 02:05:43,483
Oliver, you're home now.
1245
02:05:43,694 --> 02:05:47,145
There's nothing more to think on.
1246
02:05:47,823 --> 02:05:52,449
Save that we two may grow
old together in peace.
1247
02:06:00,044 --> 02:06:02,083
Peace.
1248
02:06:35,204 --> 02:06:37,327
Father.
1249
02:06:38,374 --> 02:06:42,502
Henry Ireton is at the house
with some men from Parliament.
1250
02:06:46,090 --> 02:06:48,841
I'll be along shortly.
1251
02:07:33,220 --> 02:07:35,296
Tom.
1252
02:07:37,016 --> 02:07:39,055
Arthur.
1253
02:07:41,478 --> 02:07:43,435
Henry.
1254
02:07:49,319 --> 02:07:51,442
Well, you all seem solemn enough.
1255
02:07:51,989 --> 02:07:54,361
It is a solemn business
that brings us here, Oliver.
1256
02:07:55,075 --> 02:07:58,658
Well, speak of it.
1257
02:08:00,539 --> 02:08:03,789
The country needs a head of
state, Oliver. It must be governed.
1258
02:08:04,168 --> 02:08:07,833
Is it not governed by Parliament?
There must be a figurehead.
1259
02:08:08,047 --> 02:08:11,996
It is our tradition. The
country needs a king, Oliver.
1260
02:08:12,217 --> 02:08:15,586
God knows, you've said
so many times yourself.
1261
02:08:20,851 --> 02:08:24,054
The country will be ruled by Parliament.
1262
02:08:24,271 --> 02:08:28,980
Now, in the name of Christ,
how often must I say that?
1263
02:08:29,193 --> 02:08:33,570
And who will control Parliament?
The people, the people, the people!
1264
02:08:33,822 --> 02:08:39,446
It's not practical. It won't work.
It will work and it must work.
1265
02:08:40,079 --> 02:08:44,028
We are here, on behalf of
Parliament, to offer you the Crown.
1266
02:08:50,214 --> 02:08:52,337
To offer...
1267
02:08:56,637 --> 02:09:02,058
Me, king of England?
1268
02:09:26,917 --> 02:09:31,413
King Oliver I of England.
1269
02:09:37,594 --> 02:09:42,221
Elizabeth, tell me, do
you see before you a king?
1270
02:09:42,433 --> 02:09:47,059
This tired, sickening
man, this country oaf,
1271
02:09:47,271 --> 02:09:50,391
crude in speech and manner?
1272
02:09:55,696 --> 02:09:59,563
This rough fellow,
1273
02:10:01,035 --> 02:10:05,447
does he display the bearing of a king?
1274
02:10:08,834 --> 02:10:11,076
You are the one man who
can govern this country.
1275
02:10:12,087 --> 02:10:14,376
In the name of God,
1276
02:10:14,590 --> 02:10:19,168
did we cut the head off this
king only to steal his Crown?
1277
02:10:19,386 --> 02:10:23,847
This hollow golden ring,
this worthless trinket.
1278
02:10:24,058 --> 02:10:27,676
Give it to a whore for
the price of her bed!
1279
02:10:27,895 --> 02:10:31,560
If you would find a head to fit
it, let it adorn some court jester
1280
02:10:31,774 --> 02:10:37,016
or some strolling player that
he may play your king, but not I.
1281
02:10:37,363 --> 02:10:40,566
Power must be absolute,
or it be no power at all.
1282
02:10:40,824 --> 02:10:46,448
It was not for power that we did this
thing. Have you not understood that yet?
1283
02:10:46,663 --> 02:10:50,198
Now, Ireton, mark me, and mark me well.
1284
02:10:50,417 --> 02:10:53,371
That you be hard-set upon ambitious
courses has not escaped me,
1285
02:10:53,754 --> 02:10:56,541
and if you seek to use
me towards such ends,
1286
02:10:56,757 --> 02:11:00,256
though I love you like a brother,
I swear, I will destroy you.
1287
02:11:12,606 --> 02:11:18,027
Every freeborn Englishman, be
he the lowest of the lowest,
1288
02:11:18,237 --> 02:11:22,531
is entitled to a voice in
the governing of this country.
1289
02:11:22,741 --> 02:11:26,193
But there is no vote for the
poor, for the underprivileged,
1290
02:11:26,412 --> 02:11:28,784
no vote for all those who took up arms
1291
02:11:28,997 --> 02:11:35,617
to put down the very autocracy that
this Parliament now imposes upon us.
1292
02:11:36,213 --> 02:11:39,914
You did not vote this
Parliament into office.
1293
02:11:40,134 --> 02:11:43,668
This gaggle of buffoons, these villains!
1294
02:11:44,054 --> 02:11:47,719
Much has been said in this House
about the so-called inequity
1295
02:11:47,933 --> 02:11:51,931
of certain members being financially
involved in national projects.
1296
02:11:52,146 --> 02:11:58,231
Members have ascribed to this state
of affairs dark and sinister motives.
1297
02:11:58,485 --> 02:12:02,649
I say if we in Parliament cannot
gain from ruling the country,
1298
02:12:02,865 --> 02:12:07,277
there's really very little
point in our being here at all.
1299
02:12:08,996 --> 02:12:12,531
No member of this House should
be permitted to profit from his office.
1300
02:12:12,750 --> 02:12:14,208
Hear! Hear!
1301
02:12:14,418 --> 02:12:17,039
If this House knew its duty to the
nation, it would terminate its sitting
1302
02:12:17,254 --> 02:12:19,543
and let a new Parliament be elected.
1303
02:12:19,757 --> 02:12:22,841
Order! Gentlemen,
I move that this House
1304
02:12:23,052 --> 02:12:29,054
be given power to remain in office a
further three years without re-election.
1305
02:12:33,979 --> 02:12:37,016
In my opinion, a committee of inquiry
should be set up to investigate
1306
02:12:37,232 --> 02:12:42,108
the financial involvement
of certain members.
1307
02:12:44,406 --> 02:12:46,446
Order!
1308
02:12:55,000 --> 02:13:00,374
Mr. Speaker. May I have your
permission to address this assembly?
1309
02:13:00,589 --> 02:13:02,131
By all means, sir.
1310
02:13:03,509 --> 02:13:08,503
My lords, honourable members,
1311
02:13:09,765 --> 02:13:14,474
I have always desired, above
my life, a free Parliament
1312
02:13:14,687 --> 02:13:19,313
sitting by the authority of
the good people of this nation.
1313
02:13:19,525 --> 02:13:25,148
A Parliament open and
visible, to be seen by all men.
1314
02:13:25,614 --> 02:13:30,988
It is six years since I handed over
to you this great responsibility
1315
02:13:31,245 --> 02:13:34,910
in the hope that you would
make good and wholesome laws
1316
02:13:35,124 --> 02:13:37,828
which the people of this
nation expected of you.
1317
02:13:39,503 --> 02:13:46,122
I must confess to some
abatement of my hopes
1318
02:13:46,593 --> 02:13:50,176
for what has happened in my absence.
1319
02:13:51,515 --> 02:13:57,221
Instead of uniting the
good people of this nation
1320
02:13:57,438 --> 02:14:00,225
with righteousness and peace,
1321
02:14:00,441 --> 02:14:04,853
which would have been a glorious
and Christian thing to have done,
1322
02:14:05,070 --> 02:14:07,644
what do I find?
1323
02:14:10,284 --> 02:14:14,910
Anarchy, corruption,
1324
02:14:15,122 --> 02:14:20,282
division and dissatisfaction.
1325
02:14:23,172 --> 02:14:26,173
I say that the enemies of this nation
1326
02:14:26,383 --> 02:14:30,879
have flourished under your protection.
1327
02:14:31,722 --> 02:14:35,055
You were from the beginning
a provisional government
1328
02:14:35,267 --> 02:14:37,805
not truly representative of the people.
1329
02:14:38,020 --> 02:14:40,475
For have the people elected you?
1330
02:14:40,689 --> 02:14:45,351
Has this House gone once to the
people it purports to represent?
1331
02:14:45,569 --> 02:14:51,442
No, it has not! And after six years
of misgovernment, what do we find?
1332
02:14:51,658 --> 02:14:55,988
Sir Thomas Fairfax moves a bill
to give this House a further lease
1333
02:14:56,205 --> 02:15:00,783
of its worthless and dishonourable life!
1334
02:15:01,168 --> 02:15:05,877
Gentlemen, an immovable
Parliament is more obnoxious
1335
02:15:06,090 --> 02:15:09,209
than an immovable king!
1336
02:15:11,261 --> 02:15:17,181
You are drunkards, tricksters,
villains, whoremasters,
1337
02:15:17,393 --> 02:15:21,177
godless, self-seeking,
ambitious tricksters.
1338
02:15:21,397 --> 02:15:24,682
You are no more capable of
conducting the affairs of this nation
1339
02:15:24,900 --> 02:15:26,727
than you are of running a brothel!
1340
02:15:28,278 --> 02:15:32,656
You are scum, sir, and not
truly elected scum at that.
1341
02:15:33,158 --> 02:15:35,780
This is no Parliament. I shall
put an end to your sitting.
1342
02:15:35,994 --> 02:15:39,198
I hereby declare this
Parliament dissolved!
1343
02:15:39,415 --> 02:15:42,914
Colonel Harrison! Yes,
sir. Troops forward!
1344
02:15:43,794 --> 02:15:45,585
Rubbish.
1345
02:15:54,346 --> 02:15:58,296
Remove them! Come on, get them out.
1346
02:16:02,938 --> 02:16:06,141
This is dictatorship, sir! Dictatorship!
1347
02:16:06,358 --> 02:16:09,561
Dictator! Dictatorship!
1348
02:16:09,945 --> 02:16:11,689
This is illegal! Come, sir.
1349
02:16:11,905 --> 02:16:15,488
I refuse to quit this
chair. By your leave, sir.
1350
02:16:20,664 --> 02:16:24,744
Away with this bauble!
1351
02:16:33,260 --> 02:16:38,052
I seem to recall that
we cut off a king's head
1352
02:16:38,265 --> 02:16:40,803
for such as this.
1353
02:16:43,062 --> 02:16:48,269
You are a traitor, sir. It is the likes
of you who have turned my hand to this.
1354
02:16:49,318 --> 02:16:53,018
I have sought the Lord's guidance
night and day in this matter.
1355
02:16:53,238 --> 02:16:57,568
It is not idly done, for this
nation will be justly governed.
1356
02:17:14,426 --> 02:17:19,421
I will give this nation
back its self-respect.
1357
02:17:19,640 --> 02:17:24,349
We will walk in this world
with our heads held high.
1358
02:17:24,561 --> 02:17:29,058
I will liberate man's souls
from the darkness of ignorance.
1359
02:17:29,274 --> 02:17:32,975
I will build schools
and universities for all.
1360
02:17:33,195 --> 02:17:37,275
This will become the
golden age of learning.
1361
02:17:37,491 --> 02:17:41,702
I will bring the law within
the reach of every common man.
1362
02:17:41,912 --> 02:17:45,246
There'll be work and bread for all.
1363
02:17:45,457 --> 02:17:50,700
This nation will prosper
because it is a godly nation
1364
02:17:50,879 --> 02:17:56,218
and because we walk hand
in hand with the Lord.
1365
02:18:10,274 --> 02:18:13,025
I swear by the name of the living God
1366
02:18:13,235 --> 02:18:16,189
that I will see this nation
1367
02:18:16,405 --> 02:18:18,611
properly governed
1368
02:18:18,991 --> 02:18:22,442
if I have to do it myself.
1369
02:18:29,084 --> 02:18:33,545
Dear God, give me the
strength to do it...
1370
02:18:34,131 --> 02:18:36,503
alone.
1371
02:18:43,140 --> 02:18:47,517
Oliver Cromwell ruled the
nation as lord protector for five years.
1372
02:18:47,728 --> 02:18:50,598
In that short time, he raised
England to be a great power,
1373
02:18:50,814 --> 02:18:53,388
feared and respected
throughout the world.
1374
02:18:53,609 --> 02:18:56,064
Under his hand were laid the foundations
1375
02:18:56,236 --> 02:18:58,063
of a truly democratic nation.
1376
02:18:58,280 --> 02:19:00,688
In 1658, he died.
1377
02:19:00,908 --> 02:19:05,202
Three years later, Charles,
prince of Wales, was crowned king
1378
02:19:05,412 --> 02:19:08,579
and a monarch sat once more
upon the throne of England.
1379
02:19:08,791 --> 02:19:11,364
But an England never
to be the same again.
1380
02:19:11,388 --> 02:19:12,388
