When Charles II ascended to the throne in 1660, following the rule of Oliver Cromwell and the English Civil War, it marked the start of the Restoration period in England. This era saw the re-establishment of the monarchy and the Church of England, leading to a revival of arts, culture, and theater. The Restoration also aimed to restore stability and address the political and social upheavals caused by Cromwell's rule and the Interregnum. Charles II's reign is often associated with a more liberal and vibrant cultural landscape, contrasting sharply with the Puritanical restrictions of the previous decade.
