Description
Charles II's Great Escape tells the remarkable story of how the future king outwitted the greatest manhunt in British history after his father's execution and his own failed attempt to reclaim the throne.
Pursued relentlessly by Cromwell's soldiers, Charles relied on disguise, deception, and sheer luck to evade capture. From hiding in an oak tree to disguising himself as a servant, he used every trick in the book to stay one step ahead of his pursuers.
