  Luminarium Encyclopedia: King Charles II of England (1630-1685).
CHARLES II, King of Great Britain and Ireland, second son of Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria, was born on the 29th of May 1630 at St James's Palace, and was brought up under the care successively of the Countess of Dorset, William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle, and the Marquess of Hertford.
On the 1st of May he signed the first draft of a treaty at Breda with the latter, in which he accepted the Solemn League and Covenant, conceded the control of public and church affairs to the parliament and the kirk, and undertook to establish Presbyterianism in the three kingdoms.
The reign of his predecessor Charles and even of that of his successor James II, with their mistaken principles and ideals, have a saving dignity wholly wanting in that of Charles II, and the administration of Cromwell, in spite of the popularity of the restoration, was soon regretted.
