"When a King subjugates his Parliament, subverts his judges and suppresses his own people, he has become a tyrant ... they have a duty to bring him down" (New Worlds, Channel 4, 2014)

This 2014 mini-series (with many actors who also appeared in Game Of Thrones) looks like it's worth a watch, with Jamie Dornan in one of the lead roles. I only found out about it today - it covers the reign of King Charles II, the 1685 Monmouth Rebellion, and also parallel events in the British Colonies in America. All of this sets the critical context for the 1688 'Glorious Revolution' - a transatlantic, liberty-oriented, context that our sectarianised Ireland has ignored for far too long.
