After many adventures, he embarks on a dangerous mission to England to recover a diamond brooch, a gift of the king, which the queen has given to Buckingham as a token of affection.  He recovers it and returns in time to save the Queen from the wrath of Louis, defeat the Cardinal's intrigue, and win Constance, the Queen's seamstress.
