bangbangblonde asked: Hi! I've heard of a museum in London where there's a life-size model of Charles II. Do you by any chance know of it? I keep googling it but I can't find it anywhere :(

thestuartkings asked: I was wondering if you were aware of, or had seen the 2008 Edinburgh comedy show by Bridget Christie (Mrs Stewart Lee) entitled 'The Court of King Charles II' where she dressed up as various characters of the time, including Charlie himself. Apparently she based the show around him because she'd always liked him (and had been told she looked like him). ???

Because of reasons. Send me some stuff and get replies in one of two varieties: snarky or creepily enthusiastic! Questions on Charles II, history in general, or why I’m such a massive creeper are all welcome. And if you want to troll me as Oliver Cromwell, like the asks I got the other day, anon messaging is switched on. I’m currently in the office pretending to be a normal human...

Anonymous asked: I am sorry about my last message. I have reconsidered and realised that hate is also sinful, as is taking pleasure in judging others. I shall be whipping myself as punishment as soon as I have sent this and hope you shall forgive me for my transgression, sinful denizen of the internet though you are.

Anonymous asked: THIS BLOG IS SINFUL. YOU SHOULD NOT IDOLISE ANY MAN, LET ALONE SUCH A MAN AS THIS. REPENT AND JOIN THE RIGHTEOUS CAUSE OF THE PARLIAMENTARIANS, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOUR BLACKENED SOUL. THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH LUSTFUL BUFFOONERY - BEWARE!

Those of you who enjoy a bit of CBBC (probably only those of you in the UK though, sadly) might like to watch this short video about pineapples for a guest appearance by a certain king :D

Anonymous asked: I do love the King of Bling song, but the lines you just reblogged make me sad, because, well-- contemporary accounts prove Olly WAS pretty jolly. I mean he was an altogether very cheery guy, all things considered.

So, take me through a day in the life of Charles...

georgiagallifrey: Well, the first thing I do is… HIDE IN A TREE LIKE A BOSS RESTORE THE MONARCHY LIKE A BOSS PUT OUT FIRES LIKE A BOSS RECLAIM STOLEN JEWELS LIKE A BOSS BREAK MARRIAGE VOWS WITH HOT CHICKS DON’T GIVE A FUCK LIKE A BOSS HAVE A PARTY LIKE A BOSS POSING FABULOUSLY LIKE A BOSS PUPPIES LIKE A BOSS HAVE ANOTHER PARTY LIKE A BOSS BITCHFACE...

– Susan Holloway Scott at Two Nerdy History Girls (source) As if there wasn’t enough to love about Charles already, he’s also ridiculously stylish. Damn you and your fabulous clothes, Charles. Damn you. *shakes fist*

17th-century pick-up lines →

Particularly relevant today, yes? Yes. Followers, your words invade the weakened senses and overcome the heart~

marthur asked: I have another legit 17th-century pick-up line for you! "Midnight would blush at this".

“This day, His Majesty, Charles II, came to London, after a sad and long exile...”

– John Evelyn’s diary entry for 29th May 1660

– Susan Holloway Scott at Two Nerdy History Girls (source) Oh Charles, you’re such a classy chap. And this time I’m not even being slightly sarcastic.

I never knew Charles II had so many fans. When I started this blog it was a way to avoid spamming everyone from my personal who didn’t care- which, as far as I was concerned, would be nearly everybody. Apparently I was wrong, and I’m not the only Restoration nerd on Tumblr. Anyway, thank you! I’m sure Charlie would be very pleased to know how much people still love him <3
