The story of King Charles n is one of
enduring fascination if only because, as
Bishop Burnet wrote, he was the
greatest instance in history of the various
revolutions of which one man was capable.
The golden childhood of the boy Prince in
the Van Dyck pictures gave way to an
adventurous youth in Civil War England
and abroad, ending traumatically when his
father was executed in
at eighteen, succeeded to nothing but the
name . After his valiant attempt to regain
the throne was defeated by Cromwell at
Worcester, the King made his epic escape
to years of exile, poverty and humiliation in
Europe. The miraculous Restoration
ushered in a reign coloured by a series of
equally dramatic events
the Fire of London, two Dutch Wars, the
bizarre Popish Plot, and finally the efforts of
the Whigs to exclude his Catholic brother
James from the succession, culminating in
the King s unexpected triumph over them
at the Oxford Parliament of
Through all his changing fortunes Charles s
character rarely failed him, although it was,
as
irrevocably stamped by the years of exile.
The King we remember best is the patron of
racing, who supped with his jockeys at
Newmarket; the lover (and
such as Barbara Villiers, Nell Gwynn and
Louise
of parks and palaces, who enjoyed every
aspect of the environment; the friend of the
arts, during whose reign the theatre and
playwrights, music and musicians flourished
in the glow of his personal approval. This
was the man who was to overcome the many
problems of his reign and die not only in
control of his country but in the affection
of his countrymen.

King. Her book

the reign

son Monmouth but also with that neglected

attitude to kingship; his patriotism, which
has so often been disputed in the light of his
negotiation of the Secret Treaty of Dover;
and his seemingly enigmatic religious
beliefs, centring round another disputed
question, that of his Catholicism. Above all,
she has succeeded in writing a totally
compelling narrative, both moving and
exciting, and showing all the skills and
insights which have secured her place as one
of the foremost biographers of our time.
