Storyline
In 1648, Sir Edmund Blackadder, descendant of Prince Edmund Plantagent and currently the sole member of the noble dynasty, is one of two people who stayed loyal to King Charles I after Oliver Cromwell's threat, the other being Baldrick, descendant of a pig farmer and a bearded lady. To protect his liege, Sir Edmund has hid the king (the series has already proven to us that the royals are insane) in Blackadder Hall, but Baldrick unwittingly betrays the ruler when Cromwell arrives at the Hall. Blackadder decides he must save the king when he is sentenced to execution, and becomes frustrated when Baldrick cluelessly accepts a job as executioner- until he realizes he may be able to use it to save Charles...

King Charles I: Nonsense Blackadder, I don't think there is a jury in England that would bring in a verdict of guilty against me.
[knocking, a guard enters]
Guard: Your majesty, the verdict of the jury.
[hands Blackadder a document and exits]
King Charles I: So, what does it say? Guilty or not guilty?
Edmund Blackadder: [reads the document] I'll give you two guesses.
King Charles I: Not guilty.
Edmund Blackadder: One more guess.

Trivia
Stephen Fry, who plays King Charles I, plays the character as an impression of the Prince of Wales at the time, Prince Charles, who when crowned king, would be King Charles III (although it is believed to be unlikely he will continue to use the name Charles). See more »Quotes
