Could go my his fathers name, Philip, or Arthur. Both part of his full name.

Charles II was skillful, humane, and intelligent. While he had slightly more than his share of personal faults, his reign was highly successful. The new king would do quite well to do as well as the Merry Monarch.

I thought they had already decided he will be Charles III. Maybe not?

Trump hasn’t exactly been a choirboy either, but that didn’t stop him from being an excellent president. America needs to grow out of its roundhead antipathy for the Stuart kings.

The “Merry Monarch” also created a lot of bastards
“Sir Walter Scott is credited with inventing the phrase bar sinister, which has become a metonymic term for bastardy.[13] Heraldry scholar Arthur Charles Fox-Davies and others state that the phrase derives from a misspelling of barre, the French term for bend.[14] The term is irregular, since in English heraldry, a bar is horizontal, neither dexter nor sinister; nevertheless, bar sinister has become a standard euphemism for illegitimate birth”

“Charles’ royal name is George VII, not Charles III”
Then why will he be coronated Charles III?

Charles II was skillful, humane, and intelligent.
But Charles II did go after the ones who executed his father. He had Oliver Cromwell’s body dug up from its grave, hanged and beheaded, and Cromwell’s head put on a spike on Westminster Hall. Years later someone took and hid it. It turned up in the 1960s and was then buried somewhere on the campus of Cambridge University.

Charles I tried to make himself closer to an absolute monarch, but that didn’t end well. Charles II restored royalty following he Puritans. They were both heroes for royal power, which might be why that name was chosen 70 years ago.
That being said, Charles III is such a jerk, and should abdicate. William V would make a much better king.

They must have reported it before it was confirmed. All day it has been reported as Charles III.

Why do you think he would be a good king? He’s still an inbred with two idiots for parents. Charles and William are both secret Muslims, right? Which one dressed as a Nazi?
To: nickcarraway
He will suffer the same jinx...

might be why that name was chosen 70 years ago
not because of the original "Charles the Great" ... whom we call Charlemagne?
