Description
1803 King Charles II Escape from Worcester English Civil War Samuel Pepys RARE



Charles II of England ruled in Great Britain and Ireland until 1685. Known as the Prince of Wales, Charles II became king of Scotland in 1649 and directed the restoration of the throne as well as many other political and military feuds in the 17th-century. After Charles II and the Royalists were defeated in the Battle of Worcester, and subsequently the English Civil War, Charles II attempted to escape out of England, fleeing from Worcester as Cromwell and his forces closed in on him.



Seventeenth century English author Samuel Pepys published an account of Charles II attempted escape from Worcester. While Pepys was much better known for his famous diary, his Preservation of King Charles II includes not only his own thoughts, but also those of the king himself, anecdotes from Father John Huddleston, and those from Colonel Philips.
