medium only in The Wisest Fool by ROSE TRBMAIN
The date - 1623, two years before the death of James I and only 26 years before the execution of his son Charles I. The discontent which was to erupt into the English Civil War is already present - centering around the need of a lonely old man who happened to be King for the comfort of his Steenie - who happened to be the most ambitious man in England - the Duke of Buck ingham.
