A British retelling of the times of Charles I, the Civil War and the regime of Oliver Cromwell, all through the story of Angelica Fanshaw, "a true account of her life and times."
Well.....no. According to an English history expert on the period, not at all.
A work of propaganda, feminist, anti-religious, class-war-ish, with a heroine as misguided as she is headstrong. But with the always watchable Dominic West as the Lord Protector. So it was not entire loss.

Yes, she came thru, wiser and still rich.
