Intriguing woodcuts like "To Him Pudel, Bite Him Peper" reveal the propaganda used during those turbulent times. These images served as powerful tools in shaping public opinion and rallying support for the royalist cause. The Battle of Naseby stands as a defining moment in history - 1645 marked a turning point when Parliamentarian forces clashed with royalists under King Charles I. Dupuis' masterpiece captures this pivotal event, showcasing its significance even centuries later. As you wander through Stoke pub, an old man shares stories passed down from generations about his ancestors who fought valiantly for king and country.

It reminds us how deeply rooted royalty was in people's lives and culture. James Graham (1612-1650), known as Marquis of Montrose, emerges as a prominent figure among royalists. His military prowess and strategic brilliance earned him respect amongst his comrades and fear among his enemies. The Siege of Lathom House during the First English Civil War showcases the resilience displayed by loyalists defending their stronghold against parliamentary forces. The courage exhibited here became synonymous with being a royalist.

This battle symbolizes how far-reaching their ideals were beyond national borders. Sir Edward Lake personifies loyalty itself; he remained steadfastly devoted to King Charles II even during his exile.
