Catherine FitzCharles
Catherine FitzCharles, born in 1658, was the illegitimate daughter of Charles II of England and his mistress Catherine Pegge.
Her older brother by one year, Charles FitzCharles, was made the 1st Earl of Plymouth by his father.
Little is known about Catherine's life, but she is thought to have become a Benedictine nun at in Dunkirk, France, like many other highborn Englishwomen during the reign of Charles II.
She is believed to have resided there under the religious name, Sister Ophelia, until her death in 1759 at the impressive age of 101.
However, the shockingly small amount of information available about Catherine FitzCharles leads some to conclude that Catherine died in infancy or early childhood instead.
Other Windsor, 6th Earl of Plymouth
Other Archer Windsor, 6th Earl of Plymouth( 2 July 1789 – 20 July 1833, Deptford) was an English nobleman, the eldest and only surviving son of the 5th Earl of Plymouth by his wife and cousin, Hon. Sarah Archer, daughter and eventual co-heiress of the 2nd Baron Archer.
He was the sixth Earl of Plymouth of the 1682 creation.
Charles II of England
Charles II (29 May 1630 – 6 February 1685) was king of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
He was king of Scotland from 1649 until his deposition in 1651, and king of England, Scotland and Ireland from the 1660 Restoration of the monarchy until his death.
Charles II was the eldest surviving child of Charles I of England, Scotland and Ireland and Henrietta Maria of France.
After Charles I's execution at Whitehall on 30 January 1649, at the climax of the English Civil War, the Parliament of Scotland proclaimed Charles II king on 5 February 1649.
However, England entered the period known as the English Interregnum or the English Commonwealth, and the country was a "de facto" republic led by Oliver Cromwell.
Cromwell defeated Charles II at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, and Charles fled to mainland Europe.
Cromwell became virtual dictator of England, Scotland and Ireland.
Charles spent the next nine years in exile in France, the Dutch Republic and the Spanish Netherlands.
A political crisis that followed the death of Cromwell in 1658 resulted in the restoration of the monarchy, and Charles was invited to return to Britain.
On 29 May 1660, his 30th birthday, he was received in London to public acclaim.
After 1660, all legal documents stating a regnal year did so as if he had succeeded his father as king in 1649.
Charles's English parliament enacted laws known as the Clarendon Code, designed to shore up the position of the re-established Church of England.
Charles acquiesced to the Clarendon Code even though he favoured a policy of religious tolerance.
The major foreign policy issue of his early reign was the Second Anglo-Dutch War.
In 1670, he entered into the Treaty of Dover, an alliance with his cousin King Louis XIV of France.
Louis agreed to aid him in the Third Anglo-Dutch War and pay him a pension, and Charles secretly promised to convert to Catholicism at an unspecified future date.
Charles attempted to introduce religious freedom for Catholics and Protestant dissenters with his 1672 Royal Declaration of Indulgence, but the English Parliament forced him to withdraw it.
In 1679, Titus Oates's revelations of a supposed Popish Plot sparked the Exclusion Crisis when it was revealed that Charles's brother and heir presumptive, James, Duke of York, was a Catholic.
The crisis saw the birth of the pro-exclusion Whig and anti-exclusion Tory parties.
Charles sided with the Tories, and, following the discovery of the Rye House Plot to murder Charles and James in 1683, some Whig leaders were executed or forced into exile.
Charles dissolved the English Parliament in 1681, and ruled alone until his death in 1685.
He was received into the Catholic Church on his deathbed.
Charles was one of the most popular and beloved kings of England, known as the "Merry Monarch", in reference to both the liveliness and hedonism of his court and the general relief at the return to normality after over a decade of rule by Cromwell and the Puritans.
Charles's wife, Catherine of Braganza, bore no live children, but Charles acknowledged at least twelve illegitimate children by various mistresses.
He was succeeded by his brother James.
Patrick Ruthven, 1st Earl of Forth
Patrick Ruthven, 1st Earl of Forth and 1st Earl of Brentford( c. 1573 – 2 February 1651) was a Scottish nobleman, general, and diplomat.
Robert Stewart, 1st Earl of March
Robert Stewart, 1st Earl of Lennox then 1st Earl of March( c. 152229 March 1586) was a Scottish nobleman of the family of Stewart of Darnley.
Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire
Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire, 1st Earl of Ormond, 1st Viscount Rochford( c. 1477 – 12 March 1539), of Hever Castle in Kent, was an English diplomat and politician who was the father of Anne Boleyn, Queen Consort and the second wife of King Henry VIII, and was thus the maternal grandfather of Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Thomas Hickman-Windsor, 1st Earl of Plymouth
Thomas Hickman-Windsor, 1st Earl of Plymouth, PC (c. 16273 November 1687) was the son of Dixie Hickman and his wife Elizabeth Windsor, sister and heiress of Thomas, 6th Baron Windsor.
He assumed the additional surname of Windsor and succeeded to the Windsor family's estate around Hewell Grange near Redditch in 1645.
The same year he distinguished himself in the Battle of Naseby.
Hickman-Windsor impressed King Charles I by relieving his garrison at High Ercall.
Upon the Restoration, the title of Baron Windsor, which had last been held by his maternal uncle Thomas, was called out of abeyance in his favour, on 16 June 1660.
From 1661 to 1663, he served as Governor of Jamaica.
However he actually spent only three months in Jamaica: according to Samuel Pepys his abrupt return to England caused a good deal of comment.
The reason was apparently ill health.
His one notable achievement as Governor had been to order the attack by Sir Christopher Myngs on Santiago de Cuba.
The raid was a success, but caused a crisis in Anglo-Spanish relations, and was later disavowed by Charles II.
He acquired the Navigation of the Warwickshire Avon from James, Duke of York and employed Andrew Yarranton to restore Pershore Sluice, thus restoring navigation from Tewkesbury to Evesham.
He then sold two-thirds of the navigation above Evesham to Andrew Yarranton and others, who restored the navigation from there to Stratford-upon-Avon.
He and George Digby, 2nd Earl of Bristol financed Andrew Yarranton's ultimately unsuccessful attempts to improve the River Salwarpe and River Stour to make them navigable.
He was appointed Gentleman of the Bedchamber to Charles II; in that capacity he was sent in September 1678 with a crucial message to Danby to investigate certain allegations made by Titus Oates and Israel Tonge, thus setting in motion the Popish Plot.
On 6 December 1682, Windsor was created the first Earl of Plymouth, a new creation with the previous title holder having been Charles II's natural son Charles FitzCharles, 1st Earl of Plymouth (1675-1680).
He was succeeded by his grandson Other Windsor (his curious first name is a variant of Otho, a remote ancestor).
