Charles II: Restoration of the Monarchy
An in-depth exploration of the life and times of the Merry Monarch Charles II
From clinging to a tree while evading capture, his face blackened with soot, to triumphantly sailing home to reclaim his crown, the story of Charles II is one of survival, spectacle, and transformation.
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb guides us through the Restoration, tracing life in England from the shadow of civil war to the glittering courts of Restoration London, and discovers how intrigue, scandal, plague, and fire gave rise to an age of theatre, science, and unfettered pleasure.
Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. Edited and produced by Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
