The documentary A King's Story tells the story of the life of Great Britain's King Edward VIII and his abdication of the throne for the love of a woman.

Amid a nationwide and often rancorous public debate, Prime Minister Baldwin had cautioned the king not to marry Mrs. Wallace Simpson, a divorced woman, so as to keep his throne. He had to make a choice.

The king agonized for several days over the impending crisis in Parliament and his deeply personal dilemma. On December 10, 1936, with his three brothers beside him, the King signed with firm hand the instrument of abdication. The eleven months of his reign ended.

The night before, on December 9th, the King called Mrs. Simpson to inform her of his decision. When she pleaded with him not to abdicate, he said: "The abdication documents are being drawn up. You can do whatever you wish. You can go wherever you want. But wherever you go, I will follow you!'

The jacket of this video describes this story as "perhaps the most poignant, intriguing, and dramatic love story of modern times." But what more dramatic love story is there than Jesus giving up his throne out of love to come and find me?
