Description
As a powerful king who embraced a permissive society, Charles II shaped the culture of Restoration England, but who and what shaped Charles? This book examines Charles as a prince and pauper from his birth in 1630 to his thirtieth birthday - Restoration Day. It studies the feminine influences on his development, considers his early sex life, and addresses rumours regarding the succession. Giving a clearer picture of young Charles, it shows the making of the Merry Monarch.
