A Georgette Heyer historical, no romance here.

This brilliantly entertaining novel is a fictionalization of the true story of Charles II (May 29, 1630 – February 6, 1685),

Dispossessed of crown and kingdom, crushed and routed at the grim Battle of Worcester, the young Charles II is forced to flee for his life. Out of the heat of battle, the outlaw King and his tiny party must journey across Cromwell’s England to a Channel port and a ship bound for France and safety. But the King, with his love of adventure, irrepressible humor and his unmistakable looks, is no easy man to hide…

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 hostlers and houseboys. He was “The Merry Monarch”

Two young women were instrumental in his eventual escape and one of them became a lifelong friend of the exiled king.

A typically witty, exciting and wonderful tale of historical adventure, Royal Escape will please Georgette Heyer fans old and new.

This is my edit of an existing torrent.
