Charles II character jug modeled by Frank Garbutt and produced by Kingston Pottery of Hull, England, circa 1980 in a limited edition. Charles II (1630-1685) was King of Scotland from 1649 until 1651 and King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from the 1660 Restoration of the monarchy until his death in 1685. Charles II was the eldest surviving child of Charles I of England and Henrietta Maria of France. After Charles I's execution at Whitehall on January 30, 1649, at the climax of the English Civil War, the Parliament of Scotland proclaimed Charles II king on February 5, 1649. Charles's English Parliament enacted the Clarendon Code, to shore up the position of the re-established Church of England. Charles acquiesced to these new laws even though he favored a policy of religious tolerance. The major foreign policy issue of his early reign was the Second Anglo-Dutch War.
