The Stuarts - Restoration

The restoration of the monarchy in 1660 in England allowed a change of fashion and manners. Society was keen to recapture the spirit of long repressed frivolity. Charles II was an exceedingly attractive role model. At Whitehall he created a different kind of paradise dominated by the gods of pleasure lacking the funds necessary to rival Versailles, nevertheless lavishing money upon the old palace. www.thecultureconcept.com/circle/
