Charles Stuart's escape from The Battle of Worcester in 1651 is one of the English monarchy's most significant events. Not only did his escape ensure the eventual continuation of the institution of the monarchy but the feat itself is truly remarkable. Charles dictated the account of his escape to Samuel Pepys years later and it is one of the finest primary sources of its kind. The Battle of Worcester Society is thrilled to be able to bring this work, once again, to the public domain. Along with supporting information and an introduction written by the society's President and former Chairman the text is presented in this book along with Pepys' notes.

A fascinating look into a tumultuous interlude in British history and the life of Bonnie Prince Charlie. This brilliantly entertaining novel is a fictionalization of the true story of Charles II (May 29, 1630 February 6,1685), charting his daring flight to France after the Battle of Worcester, where Cromwell and his Protestant forces defeated the Catholic king.For six weeks, Charles' life was in danger as he hid in the English countryside, disguised as a servant, unable to find a way across heavily guarded borders.His loyal courtiers were appalled by the ease and glee with which he adopted his new humble identity, insisting on chatting and even drinking with ostlers and houseboys.Two young women were instrumental in his eventual escape and one of them became a lifelong friend of the exiled king.
