On 29 May 1660, a weary British nation rejoiced as King Charles II was restored to the throne of England after the austere years of Oliver Cromwell.

Charles II was a superb politician and enjoyed both his duties and amusements of his changed situation. He had two major disasters, in 1665 the Black Plague and in 1666 the Great Fire of London, that wiped out two thirds of the city. But the country grew richer and maritime grew stronger under his reign.
