Produced by An Anonymous Volunteeer, and David Widger
"Royalty Restored; Or, London Under Charles II" by J. Fitzgerald Molloy is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the social history of England during the reign of Charles II, particularly focusing on the vibrant court life and the events that led to the restoration of the monarchy after the tumultuous period of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell. The opening of the book sets the stage with the decline of Cromwell's power as he lies on his deathbed, fearful of his legacy and the chaos surrounding his rule. It describes the political machinations and public sentiments leading to Richard Cromwell's brief and largely ineffectual reign as Protector, contrasted with the growing hope and excitement among the populace for the return of King Charles II. The text vividly captures the national mood as the royalists prepare to celebrate the king’s return, promising readers a detailed exploration of the events and characters that defined London's restoration era.
