The Merry Monarch's Wife by Jean Plaidy Pdf

Charles II is restored to the English throne, and his court is lively and even scandalous. The country is eager for succession to be clear and certain: The next king will be the son of Charles II and his queen, Catherine of Braganza. Yet Catherine, daughter of the king of Portugal and a Catholic, has never been popular with the English people. She is also having great difficulty conceiving an heir, even as many of Charles’s well-known mistresses are bearing his children with ease. Catherine is aware that courtiers close to Charles are asking him to divorce her and take another wife—yet she is determined to hold her title in the face of all odds. The ninth novel in the beloved Queens of England series, The Merry Monarch’s Wife brings Catherine of Braganza to life and plunges readers into the tumultuous world of Restoration England.

Charles II - The Merry Monarch, La Belle Stuart and the Uncrowned Queen by Joanne Hayle Pdf

Seventeenth century England - Barbara Palmer, nee Villiers, followed in her ancestor's footsteps by becoming a king's favourite and lover. She enjoyed power at the Stuart court that Charles' wife Catherine of Braganza could only wish for and while the royal marriage remained childless Barbara bore Charles II at least five children who were recognised and given titles, most of which still exist today. But a mistress is not ever wholly secure in her position and Barbara's popularity waned, her successor was not the lady that Charles initially had his wandering eye on. "La Belle Stuart" proved unconquerable and although Frances was not to be immortalised as a royal mistress she is remembered for other fascinating reasons. Find out more in Charles II: The Merry Monarch, La Belle Stuart And The Uncrowned Queen.

The King's Bed by Don Jordan,Michael Walsh Pdf

To refer to the private life of Charles II is to abuse the adjective. His personal life was anything but private. His amorous liaisons were largely conducted in royal palaces surrounded by friends, courtiers and literally hundreds of servants and soldiers. Gossip radiated throughout the kingdom. Charles spent most of his wealth and his intellect on gaining and keeping the company of women, from the lowest sections of society such as the actress Nell Gwyn to the aristocratic Louise de Kérouaille. Some of Charles' women played their part in the affairs of state, colouring the way the nation was run. Don Jordan and Michael Walsh take us inside Charles' palace, where we will meet court favourites, amusing confidants, advisors jockeying for political power, mistresses past and present as well as key figures in his inner circle such as his 'pimpmasters' and his personal pox doctor. The astonishing private life of Charles II reveals much about the man he was and why he lived and ruled as he did. The King's Bed tells the compelling story of a king ruled by his passion.
