Charles II 1630 - 1685
Charles II
restoration to the throne in 1660 marked the end of republican rule in
England. Charles was 12 when the Civil War
began. He was in the Netherlands when, in
1649, he learnt of his father's execution.
His Catholic brother James was
his heir. Charles came into conflict
with Parliament, which he dissolved in 1681. From then until his death
he ruled alone. Charles's reign saw the rise of colonisation and trade
in India, the East Indies and America (the British captured New York
from the Dutch in 1664
Indeed Charles seems to have been one of the most
sexually active kings ever to have ruled in the island
of Britain, surpassed only by
Henry I in the number of his conquests.
His relationships outside marriage produced a total of fourteen
illegitimate children. The Duke of Buckingham once
referred to Charles "as the father of his people",
adding no doubt sotto voce, "of a good many of them".
