From the Cradle to the Crown

As a powerful king who embraced a permissive society, Charles II shaped the culture of Restoration England, but who and what shaped Charles? Though his mother Henrietta Maria labelled him 'ugly', he was adored as a child, a sweet-tempered Prince of Wales.

Autor

Claire Hobson established a freelance career in proofreading in 2007 and branched into copywriting over the next few years, often for the Icelandic tourism industry. However, pursuing writing as a hobby in the 2010s, she embarked on historical fiction and quickly developed a big interest in Stuart history. This drew her to research and nonfiction. As a fundraiser for mental health charity Mind, Claire has organised and promoted Restoration-themed events involving leading historians. Through these, she produced regular history content on social media and scripted features for talks, but she now devotes more time to books, delving deeper into the seventeenth century.
