Oak Apple Day was once widespread throughout Britain. People wore sprigs of oak and gilded oak apples in their lapels. There were at one time special commemorative Church services held on the 29th May, but gradually, through the 19th century Oak Tree Day became forgotten, and only celebrated in certain towns and villages, mainly in the west of England, as above.
 
Charles II founded the Royal Hospital in Chelsea for old soldiers and laid the foundation stone for its stylish building by Sir Christopher Wren.
 
Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, the Lord Chancellor encouraged King Charles II to uphold constitutional government. Clarendon's popularity was weakened by the expensive failure in 1667 of the Second Dutch War. King Charles turned his back on him.
 
Isn't that Charles I with the Infanta?
 
As Charles II was born in 1630 he’d hardly be farewelling anyone in 1623. The sketch commemorates the abortive journey to Spain of the young future Charles I with his father’s favourite, the Duke of Buckingham.

The Forgotten Last Tudor Princess
She was Mary Tudor, the daughter of King Charles II
 
King Charles II was a Stuart, not a Tudor (although a great-great-great-grandson of a Tudor Princess).

All daughters KIng Charles II had were out-of-wedlock daughters and therefore didn't wear the title of the Princess.

Cromwell then turned to Scotland and defeated Scottish Royalists in 1652.Following this was the brutal Cromwellian conquest of Ireland which ended after massacres of Irish in 1653.

The city of Galway on the West Coast of Ireland was the last to fall to Cromwell in 1652
