An incredible tale of self doubt, religious war, deceit, courage and a little romance.  The English have a long history of internal warfare between the ruling aristocracy heirs and the general innocent people who never knew if what they were fighting for was in truth a just cause.  This story is a look at religious fervor between a Catholic King and his followers, who were thought to be idol worshipers and the Protestant Church followers, who believed that in God's eyes the wrong King was on the throne of England.  The ending is of course not a happy ending for anyone and the small hamlet that this story is built around has many of the people convicted to a cruel punishment.
