As always, superb video. I am always learning something new and exciting from a historical standpoint. This provides a great wealth of knowledge. I am thoroughly entertained by the stories of the past. Looking forward to the next video! 📚📖❤️😎
@ThePeopleProfile I really enjoy your videos. They are my favorite. You dug in deep and don't skim over things. Thank you very much! Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍
Very interesting and I very much enjoyed this video I love these history of kings and queens Always been an interest of mine Thank you for doing these UA-cam videos
From what I know about him he set up the modern scientific community which was very enlightened for that era despite having Roman Catholic leanings. I thank him for that one thing because science has changed the world.
Hi. I think King Charles II was a much more popular monarch than his late father was for a man of his time. I know it wasn't and hasn't been said, but by coincidence, he died aged 54 on his neice Anne's 20th birthday on 6 February 1685. But I expect it will be mentioned in Anne's story that I hope will be up very soon there one day. I can't wait to listen to and see the life and death of Queen Anne. Maybe a little bit more interesting than her older sister Mary, but she wasn't a very lucky & fortunate lady when it came to falling pregnant and giving birth at all, unfortunately. It's absolutely so incredible that she fell very heavily pregnant about 17 or 18 times, but sadly for her, her only living boy, William, Duke of Gloucester lived to be just 11 years old which devastated her. It wasn't her fault, but she just didn't have luck on her side. I'm sure the miscarriages and still births really upset her an awful lot. I expect to a lot of people, she was completely inconsolable as she probably couldn't understand why so many of her pregnancies started and ended in failure so she was clearly giving birth all the way for nothing. I have no idea if her uncle Charles knew all about her pregnancies. But I don't suppose she had a very happy 20th birthday when she found out that her popular uncle died on that very day. So will Queen Anne's story be up in the next week or so? It'll be so interesting to hear and watch what has to be said and remembered about her at the time. Wouldn't it? The number of mistresses Charles II had is incredible as they produced a total of roughly 12 illegitimate children, but the most well known of them was James Scott, Duke of Monmouth (9 April 1649 - 15 July 1685). I don't know if Charles had a very good relationship with any or all of them really. However, I expect he would have given them all loads of TLC and a lot of respect as well. He would be bound to do them some favours, like spending time and playing games as well as maybe babysitting them when and if their mothers were out keeping themselves busy. He probably may have even read them bedtime stories, until they were fast asleep too. He and his mot quite so popular younger brother James had to help the people of London when the great plauge and Great fire of London took place. Apparently, they both led gangs of men with picks and shovels so, I'd presume, to dig big, long and thick trenches to stop the fires spreading along a lot further. Hope to hear from you shortly. Robert 29.4.24
Charles II had to get that Divine Right Of King's drummed out of him through exile on the continent in order to be King. But tell that to his younger brother the future King James II
@@pheart2381 OK, Charles II to me at least had to let this part of kingship go in order to get the crown of England on his head. If he acted in the same manner as his father he would have never been invited back to England to ascend the throne. Sometimes you have to make compromises in order to get what you want. That is what Charles had to do. His father didn't want to do that and look at his horrible fate as an example of that.
Charles II was a good king; he could have been great. If he could have had the same focus to solve problems that he did during and after the Great Fire and the plague instead of too much frivolity, imagine what more he could have accomplished! But maybe he was giving the people what they needed - permission to live it up and have fun after a decade of stoic Puritanism and suppression of any joie de vivre.
King Charles the second was a highly tolerant monarch who had to deal with the backash of excessive religiosity. He was also a man who set a poor example with many mistresses and dozens of illegitimate children. As well, he brought back the arts, including a golden age of writers, poets, and other artists. He was responsible for the rebuilding after the Great Fire. He was a gifted negotiater and stayed off many who wished to conquer England and many plots to remove him from the throne. I find that the restoration is a remarkable period in history, with the emergence of science and open- mindedness.
James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde, was my 9th great grandfather. I don’t know whether that’s a good or bad thing. Didn’t the Brits nick a load of land and decide to be bosses in Ireland? Seems rough to me.
He was brilliant in his curiosity and respect for science, politics and development, and a hands on progressive King! No, he wasn't selfish and indolent, he really must have been physically and mentally exhausting! I believe he was genuinely fond of his wife and refused to divorce her to find a more fecund one to produce an heir, and refused to acknowledge Monmouth as legitimate! Such a sad period for the United Kingdom after him! 🙁
Very good video about King Charles II who was a very wily shrewd monarch and reminiscing o his Grandfather King James VI/I, unlike his father Charles I. However it is rather annoying when the narrator rather ignorantly only list Charles as King of England, when he was like all successive monarchs King and Queen of both Scotland and England, same when he lists Mary II, William II/III and James VII/II as King and Queen Of England but does not state of Scotland also with different tiles. Another error it was English nobles who invited William and Mary to come over to England in 1688 and the English parliament offered them the English throne after James VII/II fled to France. in Scotland it was rather different .The Scottish Parliament met in April 1689 and accepted petitions from both James and William, James however lost the Scottish throne by his very threatening tone which made the decision against him, The Scottish Parliament determined that by fleeing the countries James had abdicated the throne and offered the Scottish crown to both Mary and William under conditions they upheld and respected the laws of Scotland ec. However neither Mary or William or indeed Anne were the rightful inheritor of both crowns it should have passed to James Infant son, as James VIII/III but he too was in France and would remain so except for a brief visit to Scotland in 1715 during the first attempt to reclaim the crown landing In Scotland on 9th January 1716, sadly for him and the legitimate succession he failed as did his son Bonnie Prince Charlie in April 1746
Unfortunately, it seems to me that she was just infertile, similar to Catherine of aragon. Cause the king was in a number of long term affairs that resulted in him having fathered a number of offspring during their (Charles ii and Catherine of B's) marriage. So, it doesn't seem that he passed any stds to the mothers of his other children, so the chances of him passing a disease to her that caused her infertility is low.
My mother was a Scott and descendent of James Scott which was Lucy Walter n King Charles II's illegitimate son. I believe the King did give title n land in Scotland. Which was the creation of the Duke of Bueceluech.
Charles read the pepol and lisend to them and was a liberal king had James followed his sut his religon would not been problem however James was a hasty hot headed man and althoe his motives were good he was to hasty and unpatient and with the rest going on it doomed him
Was enjoying this until you gave inaccurate information. S. C. Was founded first as Charles Towne Landing. They were an expansion of the island of Barbados. North Carolina was created many decades later because of political views.
@ThePeopleProfile I taught it from very reliable sources. I helped 5th graders research and write papers on it. I'm sorry but the land was founded as Carolana(Charles's Land) and owned by 8 Lord Proprietors. Charles Towne Landing (later Charleston) was the first settlement. Charleston was the capital of both until political bickering caused the colony to split into the North and South Carolinas. This you can look up. So can your listeners.
The english kings stole all the wealth..land...etc from Catholic church.....they still possess all the ill gotten...ergo....NO PAPES WANTED ON DA THRONE..😊.. As it is written.....so shall it bedone..❤
It's a pitty the narrator's annunciation of "parliament" is a dyslexic nightmare and slightly triggering my special needs. But listening is an important part of my continued learning so i persevere with it.
The content of this is really wonderful. The images are really wonderful too. But I have to say that the narrator is like the worst college professor lecturer. You've ever had. There's absolutely no feeling in anything that this person is reading, so it makes it very hard to stay connected. To what they're saying
He was a highly intelligent, human being, who did the least he could do in order to keep some sort of semblance of unity. Basically he was a very clever human being, who was also very idle and very indolent..
But a pity he knew nothing about true love.
@@carolinelynch2823not everyone gets too or even know what that means unfortunately
So... A coward.
My name is,
My name is,
My name is,
Charles II!
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?
Great! Get down
Horrible histories ❤
Ayyyyy that is soooo fucking cool
Honestly with the way his life was Horrible Histories got him 100% right
How can the state prosper,
When it is controlled by these 5: Great Dane, dumb sheep,
A mole, a davil and a boar
the narrator has a wonderful voice .... Great to listen
There’s not enough documentaries on him. He’s so fascinating!
I eagerly hope that we will finish the Stuart era with documentaries of King James II, William & Mary of Orange, and Queen Anne. I love your work. Please continue.
@ThePeopleProfile Thx
James VII of Scotland, William II of Scotland
I hope they do a documentary on how many of the Founding families of America were the Stuart Court.
they finally brought back the good narrator
What's the guys name?
@@brendangardiner8994His voice is too plummy for me. 😖

Thanks for this Guys! I love Charles II! The merry monarch and Restorer! That kit harington (jon snow) is his descendant is the cherry on top
Jon snow kit Harrington looks like a cavalier
A fascinating monarch! I admire his passion and interests in science and the arts.
Portugal was not a vassal to Spain we were our own kingdom who shared the same ruler as spain.
No. Same king, different government, different laws.
What you say is equivalent to say that after James Stuart England is ruled by the Scots.
Thanks so much for posting.
I live near Moseley old hall where he hid for a while.

Excellent documentary. I look forward to listening to more. Great for my research.
Finally ! 😊 Great documentary

Why was Catherine of Braganza infertile? Was it because of Charles’ womanizing?
Unfortunately, it seems to me that she was just infertile, similar to Catherine of aragon. Cause the king was in a number of long term affairs that resulted in him having fathered a number of offspring during their (Charles ii and Catherine of B's) marriage. So, it doesn't seem that he passed any stds to the mothers of his other children, so the chances of him passing a disease to her that caused her infertility is low.
You are not infertile if you get pregnant but can't bring them to term.
Ministers drinking in the bars be like im currently in heaven now off to hell haha
