      @@MikeGreenwood51 As far as I know, the only ones he had executed, at least right after he became king, were the ones who signed his father's death warrant. And you can hardly blame him for that. And remember, medical science was very limited back then. He and his subjects all thought in good faith that his touch would help them. From his perspective he was doing a generous and selfless thing, taking time to try to help all those people. And I'm sure the people were profoundly grateful and if it wasn't really scrofula that they had, they probably felt better from placebo effect.

    My 11th great grandfather, a lord mayor of london and master of the taylors merchants guild was knighted by Charles II personally shortly after coming to power. He was a court assistant as well. Despite his old oaths to Charles I, being imprisoned in the tower of london for a few months, was reinstated.

      At least with in an idealistic Republican idealism. The people were those being the fanatics as they were the people making the laws for the people. The Cromwellian period was known as Republican not puritan. But many were Puritens. Under a tyrannical oppressor limiting freedoms you all had to obey (supposedly) the rules of the single individual. Where as with the Republican you were supposed to obey the rules you as the people enacted. In the tyrannical monachistic system the people had no say, no vote and fundamentally no rights.

    You do not mention the real humanitarian side of his character.

Meanwhile, Samuel Pepys sat on the sidelines, as far away from the fire as possible, and wrote about it!

      Yes, she was part of the aristocratic Spencer family and through one of its different branches was connected to Winston Churchill as well. Diana's distant noble ancestors included the first Duke and Duchess of Marlborough (made famous in the film The Favourite played by Rachel Weisz) and she was also descended from the House of Stuart through two illegitimate sons of Charles II. As king, this will make Prince William be the first monarch since the death of Queen Anne in 1714 to undisputedly descend from Charles I and the first to descend from Charles II.

      Also the ancient 'Kings of the Brits'? Who are you thinking they were? Your pseudo revisionist Geffory of Monmoth fake Kings decending from Troy? Or the Roman appointed Rex? You need to take account of real history rather than you erroneous mistaken pseudo history. You need to realse that the Romans named the out siders Welsh (Walian (Welsh being the later English spelling of the same identifier) and as such there was no country or Nation with Kings before the Romans arrived. There were how ever tribal Chiefdoms. Your Rex Romanem King Vortigen was not sole ruler but was the ancester of the Roman appointed Rex to try to subjugate the other tribal chief under Roman rule. Basically to creat a slave society. That is where you still are today. A slave culture eager for subugation and to be ruled over.

But contary to your bizarre illusion the Iles from south to North and East to west was already inhabited by tribes with their tribal hierarchy and chieften befor the Romans arrived and started appointing Rex Romanums. So from the River Seven to the Wash the lands were inhabited by Belgaeic tribes. So even before the establishment of a westen frontier the Romans had aleady apoointed in the first century the father of Queen Bodica as Rex Romanum. Not at all Welsh. But Iceni or the Icenic tribal group. So clearly the modern day Royals or the Royals are not properly Welsh. Even if there was a Welsh appointed Rex Romanum farther of King Vortigen. That King wrote to the Romans (The Groans of the Britans) begging them to return and complaining about most of the other Islanders who clearly did not accept Vortigen as their King. Vortigen then went on to marry the Angle or Saxon Pricess Rowena.
