Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Kuninkaan mies: Historiallinen romaani" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The book addresses the tumultuous period of the English Civil War, focusing on the struggles surrounding loyalty to the monarchy and the consequences of political conflict. Central to this narrative are characters such as Henry Lee and his daughter Alice, who must navigate the challenges posed by their loyalties and the shifting power dynamics of the time. The opening of the novel introduces a scene in the decaying church of Woodstock as a congregation gathers to hold a service in gratitude for a recent victory in battle. However, tensions arise when a soldier disrupts the proceedings, leading to a heated confrontation between him and the local pastor. This incident sets the tone for the ongoing struggles between royalists and parliamentarians in the area. As various social classes react to the conflict, Scott vividly depicts the societal upheaval and the personal dilemmas faced by individuals caught in the crossfire of history, especially emphasizing the character of Henry Lee, who yearns to protect his home and legacy against encroaching threats.
