After returning to England in 1951 to fight for the throne, Charles was crushed by Cromwell's army at the battle of Worcester.

Charles's dreams of power seemed dashed after 3000 supporters murdered and 10,000 imprisoned, how would he fare on the run with Cromwell's soldiers on his tail and a vast price on his head?

For the next six weeks, Charles endured the most memorable and dramatic period of his life as he faced certain death if he were caught.

Hiding in an oak tree, witnessing a village wildly celebrating the news of his death and wrongly imprisoned because of his similarity in looks, he disguised himself as a servant as one half of an eloping couple.

Delve into this gripping, action-packed true story of Charles II's adventure on the run, before being restored as King.
