Background Information:

Charles II, byname The Merry Monarch, (1630—1685), king of Great Britain and Ireland who was restored to the throne after years of exile during the Puritan Commonwealth.

The years of his reign are known in English history as the Restoration period. His political adaptability and his knowledge of men enabled him to steer his country through the convolutions of the struggle between Anglicans, Catholics, and Dissenters that marked much of his reign. [Brit]
