Screenplay
Inglaterra, siglo XVII. Las discrepancias entre el rey Carlos I Estuardo (1625-1649), que era católico, y el Parlamento, dominado por los puritanos de Oliverio Cromwell, desencadenaron una guerra civil (1642-1648). La causa inmediata fue la sublevación de los católicos irlandeses tras la matanza del Ulster de 1641. La guerra terminó con la victoria de Cromwell. En 1649 tuvo lugar la ejecución de Carlos I y la abolición de la Monarquía, que fue sustituida por la República (1649-1660). Cromwell adoptó el título vitalicio de "Lord Protector", disolvió el Parlamento y empezó a ejercer una dictadura personal.
