=============================================================================

Charles II (of England) (1630-85), king of England, Scotland, and Ireland
(1660-85), whose reign marked a period of relative stability after the
upheaval of the English Revolution.

Charles was born in London on May 29, 1630. He was the second, but eldest
surviving, son of King Charles I and was prince of Wales from birth. He
took his seat in the House of Lords in 1641 and held a nominal military
command in the early campaigns of the first civil war of the English
Revolution. He later fled from England and went into exile at The Hague,
the Netherlands, from where he made two attempts to save his father. On
the execution of Charles I in 1649, Charles II assumed the title of king
and was so proclaimed in Scotland and sections of Ireland, and in England,
then ruled by Oliver Cromwell. After an acknowledgment of the faults of
his father, Charles accepted the Scottish crown on January 1, 1651, at
Scone from the Scottish noble Archibald Campbell, 8th earl of Argyll. He
invaded England the following August with 10,000 men and was proclaimed
king at Carlisle and other places along his route. His army, however, was
routed by Cromwell at Worcester on September 3, 1651. After this battle
Charles fled to France.

He spent eight years in poverty and dissipation while in exile on the
Continent. In 1658, following the death of Cromwell and the succession of
his son, Richard, as Lord Protector, the demand for the restoration of
royalty increased. In February 1660, General George Monck led an army into
London and forced the Rump Parliament to dissolve. In April, in the
Declaration of Breda, Charles announced his intention to accept a
parliamentary government and to grant amnesty to his political opponents.
A new Parliament requested Charles to return and proclaimed him king on
May 8, 1660. He landed at Dover on May 26 and was welcomed at Whitehall by
Parliament three days later.

Charles was crowned on April 23, 1661. Noted for subservience and
insistence on royal prerogative, his first Parliament was overwhelmingly
Royalist and gave him free rein. Edward Hyde, 1st earl of Clarendon, his
companion in exile, was appointed chief minister. Clarendon restored the
supremacy of the Church of England, and English and Scottish
Nonconformists and Presbyterians were persecuted contrary to the
Declaration of Breda. Extravagant and always in want of money, Charles
assented to the abolition of the feudal rights of knight service,
wardship, and purveyance in consideration of a large annuity that,
however, was never fully paid. On May 20, 1662, he married the Portuguese
princess Catherine of Braganza (1638-1705) for her large dowry. The
failure of Parliament to produce the amount agreed on and the chronic
mismanagement of the English finances brought the king to a desperate need
of money. In return for subsidies from Louis XIV of France, Charles formed
a secret alliance with that country; in 1672 that alliance plunged England
into a war with the Netherlands.

The war was popular. Commercial and colonial rivalry had already brought
about two wars between the two countries, the last one occurring between
1665 and 1667. The Dutch War of 1672 resulted in the English acquisition
of the Dutch colony of New Netherland (now New York). Knowledge of his
negotiations with France, together with his efforts to become an absolute
ruler, brought Charles into conflict with Parliament, which, buoyed by
French subsidies, he dissolved in 1681. The struggle was heightened by
enactment of the anti-Catholic Test Acts and by the so-called popish plot
fabricated by Titus Oates. From 1681 until his death on February 6, 1685,
Charles ruled without Parliament. Although a member of the Anglican
church, Charles received the last rites of the Roman Catholic church. He
was succeeded by his brother James II.

Notes on Charles II, King of England (ruled 1660-1685)
Charles was born at St JamesXs Palace 29 May 1630. He was created Prince of Wales in his ninth year; on the outbreak of the Civil War, he accompanied his father at the battle of Edgehill. By 1644, the Royalist cause had declined so sharply that Charles was forced into exile, first to Scilly and Jersey - where James, Duke of Monmouth, was begotten of his liaison with Lucy Walter - and finally to France. His offer to agree to any conditions that would preserve his FatherXs life having been rejected, on the royal captiveXs execution, Charles Stewart assumed the title of King. In 1650, he agreed to the terms laid down by the Scottish Commissioners, and having subscribed to the Covenant, he was crowned at Scone on 1 Jan 1651. He speedily found himself the prisoner of rancorous politico-religious factions far too busy quarrelling amongst themselves to combine to assert the KingXs title. Marching into England at the head of a scratch force lacking in all cohesion and control, he suffered such grievous defeat at Worcester (3 Sep 1651) that flight was inevitable. With £1,000 set on his head by Parliament, for forty-four days he stole through the Western counties, only preserved from capture by the unswerving devotion of the many loyalists, of all classes, who risked their lives to help him on his way. Finally smuggled aboard a coal-brig at Shoreham, he was safely landed in Normandy. Nine years of wandering, indigent exile ensued before a distracted and impoverished England, in dread of a revival of military despotism, summoned Charles to take up the reins of government; a recall very largelyengineered by General George Monck. Landing at Dover, Charles entered London in triumph on 29 May 1660. Two years later he married the Portuguese Princess Catherine of Braganza, but the union was childless. The first seven years of the reign were characterised by a loyal parliament and widespread constitutional support for a Church and State as anti-Catholic as it was anti-Puritan; although ClarendonXs control of policy exhibited an inflexible authoritarianism dangerously at variance with the prevailing climate of opinion. The intransigent attitude of the extremist Catholic-Presbyterian "Cabal" was ultimately reduced to impotence by the provisions of the Test Act of 1673. But failure to appreciate that the retention of Dunkirk without Calais to support it was no more than an empty gesture, rendered CharlesXs sale of the former Cromwellian incubus extremely unpopular; while the limited success attending theattempt to win back the valuable trans-oceanic carrying trade from the Dutch by the war of 1665 aroused general dissatisfaction. This was further exacerbated by de RuyterXs destructive raid on shipping in the Medway and Thamesmouth, where much of the Fleet had been "laid up in ordinary" for want of an adequate parliamentary grant to fit it out and the necessary seafarers to man it - this last a consequence of the Great Plague. ClarendonXs alleged mismanagement of the war led to his dismissal, hard on the conclusion of the Peace of Breda (1667). This was the outcome of the exhaustion of both belligerents, and left France free to pursue her design for an Anglo-Gallic combination against the States General. This aim was temporarily checked by Sir William TempleXs negotiations for a triple alliance between Britain, Holland and Sweden, a sop to the party of the "Cabal." But denied the requisite funds - particularly for the upkeep of the Navy by ShaftesburyXs intemperate "Country Party," Charles, believing that a kingXs only morality is the welfare of his people, and that an Anglo-French alliance against Holland was the only alternative to a dangerously powerful Franco-Dutch coalition against Britain, signed the secret Treaty of Dover (1670). If by this pact the British sovereign became in some sort the pensioner of Louis of France, he sinuously contrived to evade the services expected of him in return, including the forcible conversion of his realm to Roman Catholicism, while sedulously devoting £76,000 of his first subsidy of £84,700 to the build-up of a fighting marine powerful enough to exact wary respect from Frenchman and Hollander alike. The Dutch War of 1672 sufficiently avenged the Medway raid; but Gallic co-operation therein was so half-hearted that public opinion refused to support a conflict in which "the French only accompanied their allies to the scene of action to see if the British Navy earned its pay." Peace with Holland was concluded and cemented by the marriage of CharlesXs niece, Mary, to the Prince of Orange. With Shaftesbury heading an Opposition intent on making the utmost political capital out of Titus OatesXs trumped-up "Popish Plot," Charles steered an astutely prudent course. Pretending to be duly impressed by reported machinations too infeasible to beguile any but the most gullible, he nonetheless steadfastly refused to tamper with the succession to exclude his brother James. The immoderate violence of the Whig leaders, together with the unmasking of the Rye House Plot to assassinate the king and his brother, turned the tide in CharlesXs favour. With his implacable opponents vanquished, for the last three years of his life Charles reigned tranquilly and without obstruction. Stricken with apoplexy, he died on 6 Feb 1685. Shrewd, supple and of great political acumen, Charles was "an exact knower of mankind" and one who "had a world of wit and not a grain of ill-nature in him" (Defoe). Above all, he was determined torestore his countryXs prosperity and safeguard it by building the most powerful Navy afloat. Inheriting a tremendous load of debt and an Exchequer containing exactly £11, 2s. 10d., by 1685 he had wrought so well that "there were more men to be found on the Exchange worth £10, 000 than in 1651 had been worth £1,000" (Sir Josiah Child). Indeed, "England has rarely been so prosperous as under Charles II" (Sir Charles Petrie), and the rise in living standardswas shared by all classes. The Fleet was stronger than at any time under the Parliament, while 300,000 tons of merchant shipping wore the English flag. MenXs liberty had been underwritten by the passage of the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679; science had been advanced by the construction of Greenwich Observatory and the production of the Nautical Almanac. Charles sharply differentiated between his duties as a sovereign and his indulgences as a man. If his numerous amours expanded the ranks of the nobility with a dozen natural offspring, no woman who had granted him her favours could justly accuse him of ingratitude or neglect. His marriage being childless, he was succeeded by his brother, James. {BurkeXs Peerage and ChamberXs Biographical Dictionary} {Concise Dictionary of National Biography} Succeeded to the throne after his FatherXs execution by the Parliamentarians. Forced into exile in France, he returned with the Restoration period in 1660. He changed the spelling of his family to Stuart after the French fashion. [GADD.GED]

After the civil war parliment wouldn't have him as king. But as thing go there was a reformation and Charles was called back home from France to ascend the throne. He became King of England, Scotland and Ireland. His father, Chales I was executed and lost his head at Whitehall jan 30, 1649 at the end of the English Civil War. During Charles rein the great fire of London occurred as well as the great plague.
Charles died painfully suffering from kidney dysfunction.

{geni:about_me} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Scott,_1st_Duke_of_Monmouth

Monmouth was executed in 1685 after making an unsuccessful attempt to depose King James II, commonly called the Monmouth Rebellion. Declaring himself the legitimate King, Monmouth attempted to capitalise on his position as the son (albeit illegitimate) of Charles II, and his Protestantism, in opposition to James, who was Catholic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monmouth_Rebellion

James Scott, Duke of Monmouth: During the Whig & Tory uprising in England, The Whig leaders, thwarted of their Exclusion Bill to keep James duke of York from the succession to the throne - found a Protestant here in king CharlesII's illegitimate son, James Scott, the Duke of Monmouth. (ca 1670) It was claimed that James Scott's mother (long since dead) had been married to Charles during his exile in Scotland, and that the proof was in a black box, and therefore he was the rightful heir to the throne. Monmouth, a weakling, allowed himself to b epushed forward by Shaftesbury as a possible successor to the throne. After long struggle, and James Scott's champion, Shaftesbury fledabroad and died in Holland, gave up his pretense and made peace with his father.

He was called James Fitzroy and James Crofts. He was a pretender to the
British throne. James was brought to England in 1662, where Charles
subsequently acknowledged him as his son and created him duke of Monmouth.
He married and took his wife's surname and the title duke of Buccleuch.
Captain of the king's troops in 1668, Monmouth was appointed captain
general of all English forces in 1678. He defeated the Scottish
Covenanters at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679.

Charles II had no legitimate heirs. The English Protestant leaders tried
to force the king to name Monmouth, also a Protestant, as successor, but
Charles instead named his brother James, a Roman Catholic, and banished
Monmouth from England. The initial success of the Exclusion Bill, a
measure barring James from succession, permitted Monmouth to return to
London, but he fled again in 1683 after the disclosure of the Rye House
Plot. On his father's death in 1685, Monmouth returned to England to claim
the Crown. He gathered followers and succeeded in capturing Axminster and
Taunton, but was defeated by the English soldier John Churchill, 1st duke
of Marlborough. He was captured and executed for treason.

DUKE OF MONMOUTH; NATURAL SON; EXECUTED

Notes on James Scott, Duke of Monmouth, also called James Fitzroy and James Crofts, illegitimate son of King Charles II and pretender to the British throne.
Born in the Netherlands, and reared on the Continent, James was brought to England, after the Restoration, in 1662, where Charles subsequently acknowledged him as his natural son and created him Duke of Monmouth. In 1663 he married Anne Scott, Countess of Buccleuch (1651-1732), and took her surname and the title Duke of Buccleuch. He was appointed Captain of the KingXs troops in 1668. Monmouth was appointed Captain General of all English forces in 1678. He defeated the Scottish Covenanters (a small group of Lowlanders who where protesting against the persecution of their Presbyterian faith) at the so-called Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679. Charles II had no legitimate heirs. TheEnglish Protestant leaders tried to force the King to name Monmouth, also a Protestant, as successor, but Charles instead named his brother James, who was a Roman Catholic, and banished Monmouth from England.

He gathered followers and succeeded in capturing Axminster and Taunton, but was defeated by the English soldier John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough at the Battle of Sedgemoor.

BIOGRAPHY: 1st Earl of Plymouth

EARL OF PLYMOUTH; NATURAL SON

Notater:

{geni:about_me} ====Anne Lennard, Countess of Sussex (25 February 1661-2 X 16 May 1721-2), formerly Lady Anne Palmer, alias Fitzroy, was the eldest daughter of Barbara Palmer née Villiers, 1st Duchess of Cleveland, and most likely Charles II of England or Philip Stanhope, 2nd Earl of Chesterfield.
====She was born Anne Palmer on 25 February 1661 or 1662 at Westminster, England.[1] She was the first child of Barbara Palmer, who was the wife of Roger Palmer, 1st Earl of Castlemaine, and who was also a mistress of Charles II.According to legend, Anne was conceived on the night of Charles's Coronation. Both Palmer and the king acknowledged Anne as his daughter and she later took on the surname of Fitzroy, meaning "son of the king," but she is generally assigned to the 2nd Earl of Chesterfield, "whom," says Lord Dartmouth, "she resembled very much both in face and person."[2]
====On 11 August 1674, at the age of thirteen and a half, Lady Anne was married, at Hampton Court, to the 15th Baron Dacre, a Gentleman of the Bedchamber to the King. On the same day her younger sister, Lady Charlotte Fitzroy, was contracted at the age of ten, to Sir Edward Lee, raised from an early baronetcy to the Earldom of Lichfield two months before. He also was a Gentleman of the King's Bedchamber. Both the wedding and the dowry were paid for by Charles II. Dacre was subsequently created Earl of Sussex.
====At some point she had an almost certainly lesbian relationship with Hortense Mancini, a mistress of Anne's father, Charles II, and therefore a rival of her mother, his maîtresse en titre. To put an end to the affair, Anne's husband, Lord Sussex, removed his wife to the country. In the summer of 1678, Lady Sussex was abducted from a convent in Paris and seduced by Ralph Montagu (afterwards 1st Duke of Montagu). She was 17 years old. He was successivelythe lover of mother and daughter (the Duchess of Cleveland and Lady Sussex).[3] In a letter to King Charles, dated "Paris, Tuesday the 28th, 1678," her mother wrote:
==== I was never so surprised in my whole life-time as I was at my coming hither, to find my Lady Sussex gone from my house and monastery where I left her, and this letter from her, which I here send you the copy of. I never in my whole life-time heard of such government of herself as she has had since I went into England. She has never been in the monastery two days together, but every day gone out with the Ambassador (Ralph Montagu), and has often lain four days together at my house, and sent for her meat to the Ambassador; he being always with her till five o'clock in the morning, they two shut up together alone, and would not let my maitre d'hôtel wait, nor any of my servants,only the Ambassador's. This has made so great a noise at Paris, that she is now the whole discourse. I am so much afflicted that I can hardly write this for crying, to see a child, that I doted on as I did on her, should make me so ill a return, and join with the worst of men to ruin me.[4]
====Anne's husband the Earl of Sussex was a "popular but extravagant man"[5] who, by extravagance and losses by gambling, had to sell the estate of Herstmonceaux and others. Lord and Lady Sussex separated in 1688. She was widowedin 1715.
====The children of her union with Sussex were two sons, who died in infancy; and two daughters, who lived to adulthood, co-heirs of the Barony Dacre:[6]
* 1.Barbara Lennard: born 12 July 1676 at Westminster, London; died 1741 at Paris. Married Charles Skelton, Esq., Lieutenant-General in the French service, and Grand Croix de St. Louis. Died without issue.
* 2.Charles Lennard: born 25 May 1682 at Windsor Castle; died 13 March 1684. Lord Dacre.
* 3.Henry Lennard: born about 1683 at Herstmonceaux, Sussex; died in infancy.
* 4.Anne Lennard: born 17 August 1684 at Sussex; died 26 June 1755 at London. 16th Baroness Dacre in her own right. Married thrice;[7]
* (1) First, to Richard Barrett-Lennard, Esq. (died 1716), son of Dacre Barrett-Lennard and his wife Jane, eldest daughter of Arthur Chichester, the second Earl of Donegal. Died a few months after his marriage to the Lady Anne in 1716, leaving his wife with child. Their son was Thomas Barrett-Lennard, 17th Baron Dacre (1717 X 12 January 1786), who died without issue.
* (2) Secondly, to Henry Roper, 8th Baron Teynham (died 16 May 1723). Had, among other children, Charles, who m. Gertrude, sister and co-heir of John Trevor, esq. of Glynd, in Sussex, and left at his decease, in 1754, ....
* (3) Thirdly, to Roger Moore, Esq., fifth son of Henry, Earl of Drogheda, in Ireland, by whom she had one son, Henry.
====Her descendants include:
*Alexander Murray, 8th Earl of Dunmore
*Colonel Sir William Robert Campion
*Thomas Coke, 3rd Earl of Leicester
*William Legge, 7th Earl of Dartmouth
*Gerald Legge, 9th Earl of Dartmouth
*Lady Elizabeth Basset

*Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 7th Marquess of Salisbury
*Max Wyndham, 2nd Baron Egremont
*Sir Hugh Barrett-Lennard, 6th Baronet
====Anne Lennard, Countess of Sussex should not be confused with her daughter, Anne Barrett-Lennard, 16th Baroness Dacre.

Diana, Princess of Wales, was descended from four of King Charles II's illegitimate sons: the Dukes of Grafton, Richmond, St. Albans, and Monmouth (all by different mistresses of the King). Diana's son, Prince William of Wales, second in line to the British Throne, is likely to be the first monarch descended from Charles II.

{geni:occupation} Duke of St. Albans, Earl of Burford

{geni:about_me} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Beauclerk,_1st_Duke_of_St_Albans

There are several legends as to how Beauclerk was made Earl of Burford. The first is that on arrival of the King, his mother said, "Come here, you little bastard, and greet your father." When the king rebuked her for calling him that, she replied, "Your Majesty has given me no other name to call him by." In response, Charles created him Earl of Burford.

Another legend is that Beauclerk's mother held him out of a window (or above a river) and threatened to drop him unless he was given a peerage. Charles supposedly cried out "God save the Earl of Burford!" and subsequently createdthat peerage.

BIOGRAPHY: 1st Duke of Richmond and Lennox

Richmond was a patron of cricket, then becoming a major professional sport, and did much to develop it in Sussex. It is almost certain that he was involved with the earliest known major cricket match which took place in the 1697 season and was the first to be reported by the press [1]. Richmond sponsored a team in the 1702 season against an Arundel side [2].

Richmond's son Charles, the 2nd Duke, inherited his interest in cricket and became the patron of both Sussex county cricket teams and Slindon Cricket Club.
