I have the DVD
Hey Ya'll my first post. I love period pieces and I grew up in Fairfax County VA and always wondered about the man for whom the couunty was named...I was somewhat shocked when I saw the film Cromwell to learn Thomas Fairfax was not a cavalier. Virginia refused to recognize Cromwell and remained loyal to Charles II in exile in France. The Cavaliers fled to Virginia . The Univ.of Virginia sports teams are The Cavaliers and Charles II gave the Commonwealth the title The Old Dominion as an acknowledement of Virginia's loyalty. I have long felt that the American Civil War was Part II of this conflict. Prior to the English war the Cromwell family were all packed up ready to sail to Plymouth, Mass. But he stayed and fought. The Royalists lost and many fled to Virginia....so the cavaliers went South and the Puritans went North....anyway I think the War Between the States was Part II. I'm so glad I stumbled upon the DVD and ordered it. A month ago I knew nothing of this film. I love the DVD and find Thomas Fairfax fascinating...
