A Happy Anniversary

On this day in 1660 the English parliament (the "Convention Parliament") voted to restore the monarchy and acknowledge Charles II as King of England. He had a high old time of it, hiding from Roundheads inside oak trees and frolicking with many women, and then converted to Catholicism on his death bed.

God bless constitutional monarchy! God bless democracy! God bless parliaments with nicknames! God bless England!
