The King’s Restoration

The King’s Restoration refers to the period starting in 1660 when King Charles II was restored to the throne of England after a decade of republican rule under Oliver Cromwell. This movement marked the end of the English Civil War and the Protectorate, re-establishing monarchy, the Anglican Church, and a more traditional political order. The era was characterized by cultural revival, artistic flourishing, and increased stability, but also faced political and religious tensions. Overall, it signified a return to more traditional monarchy and societal norms following years of upheaval and change.
