And due to Charles 2 and many other kings in Europe, most native Europeans are probably related to a royalty in one way or another lol

The much maligned king . Forgotten is the fact that while he was busy enjoying himself ,he was shaping what would become the 13 colonies cross the pond.
Charles ll was responsible for adding the Carolinas , Pennsylvania ( gave the land to Admiral William Penn's son ,William as a way to pay off a debt he owed him,) ,New York ,Delaware and New Jersey .
He played an important role in US history 🤘

People want to know how most of us Europeans are related to royalty. This is why lol. It's not pretty but it's true.

My 8th great grand uncle, Sir John Knight was Sergeant Surgeon (chief medical officer) to King Charles ii

Can you imagine without modern laundry facilities, hot water, deodorant, air conditioning and dental care how stinky things must have been back then. Surprising any sex took place

Amazing how his knob didn't fall off ,his first woman died from some form of VD ,King super spreader, yuck

@lisapop5219 3 years ago

It's crazy considering that this happened right after the puritan era

Charles II had a nickname for Louise de Kerouaile he called her Fubbs because she was a bit chubby and for this reason there are plenty of ships called Fubbs today

Boy...it's good to be the king 😘

I have always found the history around the Restoration Period to be particularly fascinating, I would like to see more in depth videos about some of the children of Charles II and other characters from that time :)

@joemackey1950 3 years ago

When did Charles find time to run the kingdom??? One needs a score card to keep up on all these kids...

@sirwelch9991 3 years ago

Ah, the ancestors of much of the British nobility. About time they got recognition.

@Laurilue13 3 years ago

I know that my family history goes back to the royal House of Stuart and it’s really convoluted. Now, I probably know why! My ancestor was a total cad. 😂

@plamenivanov92 3 years ago

and about Nell Gwynn's daughter in law Diana De Vere she became a Mistress of the Robes to Queen Mary II

His love life surely made the French Kings proud.

nell gywn was my 8x great grandmother. i used to own a ring supposedly given by charles, i had two stones replaced in it and the techniques used to make it were from the late 1600's according to the jewler. we did have lots of high end things from the 1700's among the wider family, including silverwear cutlery and two other pices of jewlery. my great grandmother had two maids and a massive house which is now 2 shops and 7 housed, she had 19 children so there was not much left and i was given the ring

the first picture of Louise de Kerouaile in the video a painting by court painter Ser Peter Lely I use it as the background for both my PC and my Smartphone Charles II Stewart actually infected Louise with some sort of venereal disease and after that her health was never the same

Thanks FL for enlighting us In the numerous children of this prolific king. Incredible how he kept track of all his children and how he provided for all his mistresses. He seemed very irresponsible and incredible to believe his own wife couldn't give him a legitimate heir. A very fascinating case.
