They really are going all out with the Stuart era and I'm so excited!!!!

"A new documentary-drama is coming to Sky History, starring Joseph Fiennes, Jared Harris and Sheila Atim, and following King Charles II's hunt for his father's killers.

Told through dramatic reconstruction, with Fiennes, Harris and Atim serving as the primary storytellers, the three-part series is a story about espionage, revenge, power, loyalty and "the moment that changed the landscape of British politics and society forever".

Nell Gwyn, mistress of Charles II, in virginial white handling some sausages.

Charles II was known for his saucy mistresses and the way he paraded them throughout court. His sex life was no secret, and sharp contrast to the Puritan values of the previous decades in England. This portrait, amongst others, is an example of how Charles treated his mistresses as important figures in the court, and Stuart court attitudes towards sex.

HOLY BIBLE (c1644) gifted to Prince Charles Stuart, later Charles II.

The book is a petite 7 by 4 inches covered with an intricate design worked in silver gilt thread (a silk core wrapped in silver that has been dipped in gold) and embellished with spangles. The printer’s mark on the frontispiece shows a printing date of 1644, and the exact fit of the embroidery indicates it was made specifically for this Bible.

The needlepainted image of Charles is still vibrant and exquisitely detailed. It is strikingly similar to a painting by William Dobson dated 1642 or 1643, when the prince would have been 13. The ship on the back cover may be the Prince Royal, which was rebuilt in 1641.
