It is the second of the Flashman novels. It was made into the film Royal Flash in 1975 and remains the only Flashman novel to be filmed. Plot summaryRoyal Flash is set during the Revolutions of 1848. The story features Lola Montez and Otto von Bismarck as major characters, and fictionalises elements of the Schleswig-Holstein Question, 1843, 1847 and 1848. It is set in the fictional Duchy of Strackenz, making it the only Flashman novel to be set in a fictitious location. Other characters include:
The book is loosely based on the plot of The Prisoner of Zenda. Flashman explains that this is because the story was plagiarised from him by its author, Anthony Hope. In a letter, Fraser wrote that during his researches into an earlier Flashman book he had discovered that in real life Bismarck and Lola Montez had been in London at the same time. He added that it had been too good an opportunity to miss.[1] References1. ^Letter from George MacDonald Fraser in the Glenn Christodoulou Collection {{Flashman novels}}{{George MacDonald Fraser}}{{Authority control}}{{1970s-hist-novel-stub}} 8 : 1970 British novels|Flashman novels|1848 in fiction|Barrie & Jenkins books|Novels set in the 1840s|British novels adapted into films|Cultural depictions of Lola Montez|Cultural depictions of Otto von Bismarck |
