A Gambling Man
Charles II was thirty when he crossed the Channel in fine May weather in 1660. Exactly ten years later Charles would stand again on the shore at Dover, laying the greatest bet of his life in a secret deal with his cousin, Louis XIV. This book offers a portrait of Charles II, exploring his elusive nature through the lens of these ten vital years.
