Meet James I, the 'Wisest Fool in Christendom,' who preached divine right while his pet favorite, the Duke of Buckingham, turned the court into a scandalous farce. Then comes Charles I, whose stubbornness cost him his crown (and his head), thanks to a Parliament with a very sharp grievance list—and a little help from the ill-fated Earl of Stafford. Enter Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan party-pooper who banned Christmas, crushed Ireland, and somehow made republicanism duller than a Sunday sermon. But just when you think the chaos can’t get worse, in stumbles Richard Cromwell, his hapless son, who proved that ruling England was not a hereditary talent. Spoiler: The Republic collapses faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. Narrated with wicked wit by Charles Featherstone, this uproarious installment skewers the Stuarts like a royal roast—where kings are klutzes, parliaments are punchlines, and the only thing sacred is the absurdity of power.
