To Kill a King (2003)

Based on the true lives of General Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell, To Kill a King (2003) is a seventeenth-century-England sort of thing about the aftermath of the English Civil War. Dougray "Thomas Fairfax" Scott and Tim "Oliver Cromwell" Roth are riding high on a big victory over the army of King Charles I. Now that they're in charge and Tim is headed toward making himself Lord Protector of England, things are going to go great, right? Wrong! It seems the two friends can't agree over what to do with that annoying King Charles (Rupert Everett). While the king is appealing to Dougray's lovely wife, Olivia Williams, Tim is putting his Lord Protector foot down. Speaker of the House James Bolan leads a group who wants to make a deal with the king, but their conspiracy is quashed. What will happen to hopeless old Rupert, and will it drive Dougray and Tim apart for good?
