The Devil's Whore

Series 1 Episode 1
First Broadcast: Wed 19 November 2008

First in a four-part drama telling the story of the English Civil War through the eyes of a spirited aristocratic woman.

Angelica is born in 1623, when England is divided both politically and religiously, a time when political disobedience turned to revolution and civil war, and English history changed forever.

It is the start of a road that will change inexorably not only Angelica's life, but all of those with whom she comes into contact, including the most important figures of this tumultuous time.
