    fun fact: Catarina de Bragança not only introduced tea, but also marmalade, the use of cutlery and (unfortunately) tobacco among the English nobility. She lived 20 years longer than her husband, returned to Portugal, and was twice regent of the country on behalf of her brother who was king at the time. Guess what? Everything curiously went well for her. She rebuilt palaces, was treated well by her brother and uncles, and died and was buried in Lisbon.

    🎶My name is, my name is
    My name is, Charles the Second!
    I love the people
    And the people love me
    So much that they restored
    The English monarchy!
    I’m part Scottish, French, Italian
    A little bit Dane
    But one hundred percent party animal
    Champagne?
    Spaniels I adored
    Named after me too
    Like me, they were fun
    With a nutty hair do!
    Is today my birthday?
    I can’t recall
    Let’s have a party anyway
    Because I love a masked ball!
    All hail, the king!
    Of bling! Let’s sing!
    Bells ring! Ding ding!
    I’m the king who brought back partying!
    King Charles, my daddy
    Lost his throne and kings were banned
    They chopped off his head
    Then Olly Cromwell ruled the land
    Old Olly wasn’t jolly
    He was glum, and he was proud
    Would be miserable as sin
    Only sinning’s not allowed!
    When Olly died, the people said
    ‘Charlie, me hearty!
    Get rid of his dull laws
    Come back, we’d rather party! ‘
    This action’s what they called
    The monarchy restoration
    Which naturally was followed
    By a huge celebration!
    The King of Eng! (Land say!)
    No sin! Too sing! (Okay!)
    Or anything!
    All say, I’m the king who brought back partying!
    Great London Fire was a whopper!
    In my reign, London city came a-cropper!
    So this king did what was right and proper
    Fought the fire, proved I’m more than a bopper
    I’m a fire stopper!
    Married Catherine Braganza
    She was a love so true
    There would never be another
    Well… Maybe one or two!
    Lucy Walter, Nell Gwynne
    Moll Davies, Barbara Villiers
    You think that’s bad
    But her name’s not as silly as…
    Hortense Mancini!
    As king, I must admit I broke the wedding rules
    But who cares when I brought back the crown jewels?
    I reinstated Christmas make up, sports and even plays
    I was the merry monarch, they were good old days!
    When said and done!
    King Charles did run!
    England for fun!
    I was the king loved by everyone
    My song is done!
    Party anyone?🎶

    The Officer who escorted Charles I to the scaffold, Colonel Matthew Tomlinson, did not sign the death warrant. Tomlinson treated the King with respect and was given the King's gold toothpick case as thanks by the King's own hand. Upon the return of Charles II, Tomlinson also avoided execution for his role in the War.

    As a dutchman I can say Charles II was an absolute disaster for the Dutch republic. The dutch gave Charles a safe excile haven but still he waged 2 very unjustified wars against the dutch. Especially the war in 1672 is known in the Netherlands als 'het rampjaar' ('the disaster year' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampjaar). In 1672 England and France, supported by Münster and Cologne, invaded the Netherlands trying to conquer and enslave it. Luckily we were saved by our admiral De Ruyter who kept the English from landing on our shores and also thanks to inundating vast areas of land so the french could not go further into Holland. Meanwhile the rest of the Netherlands was plundered and subjected to extorsion by foreign troops.
    The Dutch never wanted wars with England, not in 1652, not in 1665 and not in 1672 but the english rulers enforced war on the Dutch, jealous of their wealth and succes while being only a tiny nation. The 'unholy' alliance with Louis XIV against another protestant nation, the Dutch republic, was the most unjustified war of them all. Glad the english parliament refused Charles II any more funds forcing him to seek peace. Due to Charles' support of the French, Louis XVI could conquer more and more dutch-flemish speaking lands and make them into french speaking lands nowadays.
    Charles II also betrayed the interests of his own country by supporting catholic France. France was Englands biggest threat for the next 180 years and on his own deathbed he became catholic!

      Ha ha...no....American history is more recent (ergo, less removed from modern thinking). The "Americas" were only discovered in 1492 and not populated (by Europeans) enough to beget sensational stories. Oliver Cromwell and his Puritan movement inspired much immigration (while Puritanism was in effect, it annoyed many who then elected to flee...and after Cromwell's death, Puritan supporters opted to leave rather than return to happy-go-lucky christmas-celebrating etc). America becomes more interesting when it has more people in it. Anyone not an actual Native American, shares the history of their ancestors. In my case, Scotland/Ireland...in yours....?
      American history of this time period would involve Indian raids and land settlement. No castles or democracies.
