Description

The life of Charles II (who reigned from 1660-1685) is retold in this lavish drama. Charles (Sewell) having already been declared King during his exile, had entered into negotiations to return to the throne following the death of Oliver Cromwell. This resulted in Charles signing the Declaration of Breda which allowed him to return as King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland; Defender of the Faith. Revealing the public and private life behind the throne, Charles enjoyed many mistresses including actress Nell Gwynn, a French spy Louise De Keroualle and sex addict Barbara Villiers, but refused to divorce his infertile Queen. During the next 25 years of his reign; Charles has to deal with the Plague, the Great Fire of London, and finding a way to work with the Parliament who ordered the death of his father.
