Description: When war breaks out between King Charles I and the English Parliament, both Mary Villiers, the Duchess of Richmond, and her husband, James Stuart, are determined to support their monarch and his wife, Queen Henrietta-Maria. But Mary finds her efforts to help restore peace between the King and parliament complicated by the queen's nephew, Prince Rupert of Bohemia. Not only does Rupert believe war is the only way to bring parliament to heel, his flirtatious manner with Mary soon has the king's enemies whispering about a scandalous affair.
