Storyline
On the same day two boys are born: the pauper Tom and prince Edvard. As a kid, Tom sneaks into the palace garden and meet the prince. They change clothes with each other but the guards discover them and throw out the prince, since they are almost identical. Nobody believe them when they try to tell the truth. Soon after, the old king dies and the prince will inherit the throne. Written by Mattias Thuresson <mattias.thuresson@mbox300.swipnet.se>

Earl of Hertford: The royal treasury is empty, sire. Every means of replenishing it must be taken.

Trivia
The coronation scene was on a set that duplicated Westminster Abbey and took seven days to shoot. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: The coat of arms that appears at the title sequence shows two dragons holding the shield. It should instead be the lion of England at the dexter side, and the Dragon of Wales at the sinister. See more »Quotes
