The History of King Charles II of England is a book written by Jacob Abbott that provides a detailed account of the life and reign of King Charles II. The book begins with an overview of the political and social climate of England during the mid-17th century, including the English Civil War and the subsequent Restoration of the monarchy. The author then delves into the early life of Charles II, including his upbringing, education, and relationship with his father, King Charles I. The book also covers Charles II's exile in France and his eventual return to England to reclaim the throne. Throughout the book, Abbott explores the various challenges and controversies that Charles II faced during his reign, including conflicts with Parliament, religious tensions, and the Great Fire of London. The author also provides insight into Charles II's personal life, including his numerous mistresses and his efforts to produce an heir to the throne. Overall, The History of King Charles II of England provides a comprehensive and engaging account of one of England's most fascinating monarchs, offering readers a glimpse into the political, social, and cultural landscape of 17th century England.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.
