Publisher's Synopsis
""The History Of King Charles II Of England"" is a biography written by Abbott, Jacob that details the life of King Charles II, who ruled England from 1660 to 1685. The book covers Charles II's early life, his exile in Europe during the English Civil War, and his eventual restoration to the throne. It also delves into the political and social climate of the time, including the religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, the Great Plague of London, and the Great Fire of London. The book provides a comprehensive look at the life and reign of King Charles II, offering insights into his personal relationships, political decisions, and legacy. It is an informative and engaging read for anyone interested in English history or the monarchy.Our Prince Charles now becomes, by the death of his father, King Charles the Second, both of England and of Scotland. That is, he becomes so in theory, according to the principles of the English Constitution, though, in fact, he is a fugitive and an exile still. Notwithstanding his exclusion, however, from the exercise of what he considered his right to reign, he was acknowledged as king by all true Royalists in England, and by all the continental powers. They would not aid him to recover his throne, but in the courts and royal palaces which he visited he was regarded as a king, and was treated, in form at least, with all the consideration and honor which belonged to royalty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
