Charles was invited to take his throne in 1660. Bells and flowers joyfully welcomed him home as king after his exile in France during Cromwell's rule. Relaxed, witty and pleasure loving, he oversaw the recovery of London after the Plague (1665) and its rebuilding after the Great Fire (1666). He ruled until his death in 1685.
