The narrative revolves around the legendary sword of King Charles I, tracing its journey through history as it passes to King Charles II and then to the Duke of Monmouth. Following the defeat at the Battle of Sedgemoor, the sword is hidden in a haystack, only to be rediscovered centuries later as a theatrical prop in a pantomime. This tale intertwines themes of legacy, loss, and the unexpected paths of historical artifacts.
