See Charles II's Illegitimate Children now at: [ Ссылка ]
Charles II, King of England, Scotland & Ireland from 1660 to 1685 is one of the most notorious lotharios in history. The swarthy sovereign started early and continued making love, sometimes multiple times a day, until the week he died at 54. His court was famous for it’s flagrant hedonism and he took both noble ladies and commoner actresses to bed. The women were certainly up for it. They took advantage of the charming King’s affections to gain wealth and power they would never have had access to otherwise. Those who were fortunate enough to bare the King one of his 13 illegitimate children saw their offspring elevated to the peerage. Let’s meet the 14 known mistresses of King Charles II:
Christabella Wyndham
Lucy Walter
Jane Roberts
Elizabeth Killigrew
Catherine Pegge
Barbara Villiers
(Barbara Palmer)
Winifred Wells
Mary Bagot
Mrs. Knight
Nell Gwyn
Louise de Kérouaille
Mary ‘Moll’ Davis
