I really like this website. It's chock full of information and the timelines for each year from 1638 to 1660 are a nice feature.

TO KILL A KING (2003)-Saw the Trailer
I saw the trailer for To Kill A King (2003) this evening while cruising for something to watch on On Demand. I ended up watching Michael Moore's Sicko, but I'll be going back to catch what looks like a decent flick on events leading to the execution of Charles I. Costuming looked definitely better than 1970's Cromwell.
