King Charles (Twenty Years After) is the King of England, but he has been charged with treason by Mazarin, the new cardinal. The people revolt against him and his wife flees to France. It is she that contacts the musketeers to get him out of England. Though he has support in Scotland, the people there make a deal with Cromwell to sell him to them for some of the back pay they are owed. When it is apparent that they aren't going to be able to rescue him after all, he volunteers to put an end to things and be executed.
