The narrative explores Charles II's strategic marriage to Catherine of Braganza, which included valuable territories as part of her dowry. In exchange for military support, Charles dispatched troops to aid Portugal in its struggle for independence from Spain. The story highlights the bravery and discipline of the English and French regiments, led by Schomberg, during significant battles, while also addressing the harsh realities faced by the soldiers afterward, including inadequate pay and harsh conditions. The book aims to uncover this overlooked chapter of military history through engaging text and illustrations.
