It was about the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 by Charles II after his father Charles I was killed by Parliament. If the depiction of Charles II&#039;s mother (also on your jeton) is half correct, she was a real piece of work (and not in a good way).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The movie is really powerful, however. The depiction of Charles II is unforgetable. After watching the movie, George Villiers (the Duke of Buckingham) became one of my minor heroes. Unfortunately for my latest avatar (the Duke of Shrewsbury), the Duke of Buckingham kills his father (in a sword duel not shown in the movie).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Great jeton. Thanks for sharing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
