    The Year is 1341 and the behaviour of the very spoiled Prince Edward is going from bad to worse. He waits at the great castle at Dover for news of his father King Edward the third who is missing and presumed drowned. The prince must hurry to Westminster to be crowned king before his crown is usurped by one of many rivals. As the prince travels in the magnificent royal galley from the port of Sandwich along the ancient Roman waterway known as The Wantsum Channel a fog descends and the galley hits a sand bank and the prince, who is relieving his bowels at the boat's side, is deposited in the drink. When he gets back to dry land he is unrecognized and presumed an idiot. His pompous and bossy ways get him into no end of trouble. He is forced to become a common fisherman and learns the hard way what life is like for his humblest subjects.
