Articles relating to The Restoration (1660 – 1714), of the Stuart monarchy in the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland took place in 1660 when King Charles II returned. The term Restoration is also used to describe the period of several years after, in which a new political settlement was established.^[1] It is very often used to cover the whole reign of Charles II (1660–1685) and often the brief reign of his younger brother James II (1685–1688).^[2] In certain contexts it may be used to cover the whole period of the later Stuart monarchs as far as the death of Queen Anne and the accession of the Hanoverian George I in 1714;^[3] for example Restoration comedy typically encompasses works written as late as 1710.
