1659 and Lord General George Monck has set up on camp on the River Tweed on the border of Scotland and England with his loyal army.
He has plans to retire, to spend the rest of his years on his estates in Essex and Potheridge with his wife, Anne, and son, Kit.
But the changing political climate in London forces him to march his army south to the capital and Monck isn’t one to defy duty.
In the Rump of the Long Parliament, the case is being made for an end to the Commonwealth and for the Restoration of the Monarchy.
Some want Charles, the son of the previous King, to return from his exile in France whilst others would even have Monck, with his Plantagenet blood, as their King.

My comment. Yet another novel about the restoration of Charles II.
I would suggest Crown and Mitre by Robert Neill if you can find a copy
