03.11 - The Great Escape

After his defeat at Worcester, the young King Charles II is in
enemy territory. He has to escape England, all while Oliver
Cromwell's troops scour the countryside for him. If he's caught, he
will almost certainly be executed like his father. For this
episode, I found the following publications particularly useful:
Charles Spencer, To Catch a King. Philip Baker, 'The Regicide', in
Michael J. Braddick. The Oxford Handbook of the English Revolution
Ian Gentles, The English Revolution and the Wars in the Three
Kingdoms, 1638-1652. Alexia Grosjean, Steve Murdoch, Alexander
Leslie and the Scottish generals of the Thirty Years' War,
1618-1648 Steve Murdoch (ed), Scotland and the Thirty Years' War
Stuart Reid, Crown, Covenant, and Cromwell: The Civil Wars in
Scotland, 1639-1651. Nick Lipscombe, The English Civil War: An
Atlas and Concise History of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms,
1639-51. Edward Cowan, Montrose: For Covenant and King. Barry
Robertson, Royalists at War in Scotland and Ireland, 1638-1650.
