'Tis the 12th, 13th or 14th century, something like that. King Dave has subjected England to a decade of peace and therefore prosperity. His family and his mates aren't having any of it. There follows some treachery, with a bit of comedy, and a spot of murder; not forgetting all the idiocy and sheer stupidity, which ends in a touch of tragedy. Follow the farce as the reluctant monarch, against all odds, battles for survival.
