On August 28, 1648, the Siege of Colchester concluded, essentially ending the English Civil War. Four days before, Oliver Cromwell's Parliamentary forces defeated the Royalists at the Battle of Preston and when word reached the Parliamentary & Royalist forces at Colchester, the Royalists surrendered.
This, of course, led to the installation of Cromwell as Lord Protector and thus did the wacky hijinks ensue!
"To Kill a King" recounts the fun times after the Siege and the relationship between Sir Thomas Fairfax (Dougray Scott) and Cromwell (Tim Roth) along with King "Loser" Charles I (Rupert Everett).
That's Harsh, Man - Robert Shaw died on this day in 1978. In 1975, he (SPOILERS) died at the end of "Jaws".
Now You're Just Being Silly - It's the Feast of St. Augustine! Go outside and watch your grass grow!
