Earlier this week I visited the National Portrait Gallery in London. The paintings shown in this set of images, along with a few others, are all in the same room. They represent some of the most famous faces of the Restoration period- click on each one to see the names.

My picture FUCK YEAH CHARLES II
Charles II was King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 1660 to 1685. Also known as the Merry Monarch, he is infamous for his numerous mistresses and rowdy court- but there's a lot more to Charlie than debauchery and scandal. This blog is here to showcase every aspect of his life, with a generous dollop of humour thrown in.
