Talk:Charles II of England
Just want to note that the date on this quote: "Better than a play! On the House of Lords' debate on Lord Ross's Divorce Bill (1610). Quoted by Arthur Bryant, King Charles II" is off because CRII didn't come to the throne until 1660. The likely correct date is 1663 when Roos got his divorce on the grounds of adultery of his wife.
