Charles II (1630-1685), the monarch of England, Scotland, and Ireland, is a figure of considerable historical significance, particularly noted for his dramatic escape following the Battle of Worcester in 1651. This event is vividly illustrated in "Illustrations of English and Scottish History Volume I" by Edgar Melville Ward. The Battle of Worcester, fought on September 3, 1651, was the final conflict of the English Civil War, culminating in a decisive defeat for the Royalist forces led by Charles II against the Parliamentarians under Oliver Cromwell.

In the aftermath of this crushing defeat, Charles II found himself a fugitive, desperately evading capture by the victorious Parliamentarian forces. His escape is a tale of cunning, bravery, and the loyalty of his supporters. One of the most notable figures in this daring escape was Jane Lane, a courageous and resourceful Royalist sympathizer. Disguised as a servant, Charles II embarked on a perilous journey, with Jane Lane playing a crucial role in his evasion of capture.

Jane Lane's assistance was instrumental in Charles II's escape. She provided him with a disguise and helped him navigate through hostile territory. Their journey took them through various safe houses and across the English countryside, constantly evading the Parliamentarian soldiers who were scouring the land for the fugitive king. The escape was fraught with danger, and Charles II had to rely on his wits and the loyalty of his supporters to avoid capture.

The story of Charles II's escape is not only a testament to his resilience and determination but also highlights the bravery and loyalty of those who aided him. Jane Lane's role in this episode is particularly celebrated, as her actions were pivotal in ensuring the king's survival and eventual restoration to the throne in 1660. This dramatic episode in English history is richly depicted in Ward's illustrations, capturing the tension and peril of Charles II's flight and the unwavering support of his allies.
