damian lewis - charles ii - introduction by damian lewis lyrics

Loading...

as his father charles i faced beheading with the immortal words, “i go from the corruptible to the incorruptible,” prince charles was in the netherlands waiting to return, which he did in 1660. he was the antithesis and some say the cure for all things puritan. this included fathering many illegitimate children

today, thanks to charles ii’s wandering eye, we have the dukes of richmond, grafton, and st. albans. the duke of cambridge, through his mother princess diana, is likely to bе the first british monarch directly descеnded from charles ii

this king also presided over a period of architectural and scientific enlightenment. his patronage, which included wren and newton, was extensive. the royal observatory, the royal society, the royal hospital chelsea, the royal mathematical school, and the king’s hospital dublin are all his legacy

although tragedy did strike in the shape of the great plague and the great fire, his reign will be remembered for his hedonistic attitude and joie de vivre, which made him one of the most popular kings. he ruled for nearly 25 years in absolute technicolor
