Again,my Thanks to Bettye,and also to Dai. King Charles II having Debts in 1661? Probably Gambling Debts? Although he had 19 Illegitimate children later,or rather his Various Mistresses had them. He,if you pardon the Pun,just ”Sired”them! Cheers Graham.
I wonder if the king had to support his illegitimate children. Could the women sue him for child support back then?

Dear Robert, The King had apparently "borrowed heavily to maintain hmself during years of exile" and "had inherited a huge debt from the spending of the Commonwealth governments" as well, so I guess he needed comforting. It does not sound as if those ladies could expect lavish gifts.
