* DramaticIrony: Many examples, this film being based on historic events, but standing out in particular is the dismissive way Charles II treats his nephew, William of Orange, considering that William would later rule England after overthrowing Charles's brother and successor to the throne, James II.
What makes it more ironic is that Charles later reportedly warned William to get ready to take action after he had died. Though Charles supported the openly Catholic Janes II succeeding, Charles correctly predicted he wouldn't last more than three years.
