1651, an English girl named Jane Lane embarked on a dangerous adventure that not only saved the life of the king but preserved the future of the English monarchy.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"

height=\"331\" \/>On September 3, 1651, the 21-year-old King Charles II, the exiled son of Charles I, who had been executed in 1649 \u2013 made a valiant attempt to take back his throne.\u00a0 His defeat by Oliver Cromwell\u2019s forces at the Battle of Worcester set off one of the most astonishing episodes in British history \u2013 Charles\u2019s desperate six-week odyssey to reach safety in France, which came to be known as the Royal Miracle because he narrowly eluded discovery and capture so many times.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7618\" style=\"margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 1px; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;\" title=\"Charles II young\"

and outnumbered army knew that all their hopes rested on the outcome of the battle, and Charles thought that for him, the outcome would be \u201ca crown or a coffin.\u201d\u00a0 Their bloody rout ended the Royalist cause.\u00a0 Once Charles had been convinced that the best he could do was survive, he fled as his supporters made a last ferocious stand, and legendarily dashed out the back door of his lodgings as the enemy entered at the front, slipping out the last unguarded city gate.<\/p>\n<p>One of Charles\u2019s companions during his flight from Worcester was the Earl of Derby, who had recently been sheltered at a house called Boscobel in Shropshire.\u00a0 He suggested that the king might hide there until he could find a way out of England.<\/p>\n<p>Jane Lane lived at Bentley Hall in Staffordshire, not far from Boscobel.\u00a0 She became involved in the king\u2019s troubles because she had a pass allowing her and a manservant to travel the hundred miles to visit a friend near Bristol \u2013 a major port where the king might board a ship.\u00a0 In a story that sounds like something out of fiction, Charles disguised himself as Jane\u2019s servant, and Jane rode pillion (sitting sidesaddle behind him while he rode astride, and holding tight to the handsome young king!) along roads traveled by cavalry patrols searching for \u201cCharles Stuart, son of the late traitor,\u201d \u00a0through villages where the proclamation describing him and offering a reward for his capture was posted, and among hundreds of people who, if they recognized him, had every reason to turn him in and none \u2013 but loyalty to the outlawed monarchy \u2013 to help him.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7620\" style=\"margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 1px; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;\" title=\"Jane Lane, Charles, and Lascelles\"

improbable scheme.\u00a0 Charles was six feet two inches tall and very dark complexioned, not at all common looking for an Englishman of that time.\u00a0 And yet time after time he rode right under the noses of Roundhead soldiers without being recognized.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7627\" style=\"margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 1px; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;\" title=\"Jane Lane from Flight of the King\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Jane-Lane-from-Flight-of-the-King1.jpg?resize=225%2C302\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"302\" \/>I learned about Jane Lane from Derek Wilson\u2019s book <em>All the King\u2019s Women<\/em>, and I was convinced by the evidence Wilson presented for his belief that Jane and Charles became lovers when they were in each other\u2019s company, in close physical contact, and in perilous circumstances from September 9 to September 18, 1651.\u00a0 Jane remained in touch with Charles, seeing him occasionally and corresponding with him, throughout the years before he was restored to the throne in 1660.\u00a0 Then she became famous, and Charles rewarded her richly, awarding her a pension of \u00a31000 pounds a year \u2013 quite a lot of money then \u2013 as well as giving her a watch that had belonged to his father, paintings of himself, and many other personal mementoes.\u00a0 He also offered her brother a title and gave her family the right to add the three Lions of England to their coat of arms.<\/p>\n<p>The time that Charles spent on the run was an enormously formative experience, he told the story for the rest of his life, and Jane was clearly someone who he regarded with respect and affection until his death.<\/p>\n<p>If Charles had been caught, he would certainly have been executed, and it is an open question whether the monarchy would have been restored as it eventually was in 1660, after the death of Oliver Cromwell.\u00a0 So Jane\u2019s courage had far-reaching results and her story deserves to be remembered.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7625\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7625\" style=\"width: 140px\" class=\"wp-caption
