Customer Reviews

Great book!

This book was fantastic. I'm not usually into historical romance/drama (most of them are too sappy for me) but i'm an avid Jean Plaidy reader because she brings the past to life without overdoing it. A Health Unto His Majesty is definitely one of her best novels. The story follows Charless II after he is accepted back into England after many years of exile, seen through the eyes of his Queen Catherine of Braganza and his promiscuous mistress Lady Barbara Castlemaine.

The second book in the Charles II trilogy

This tells the story of Charles II in Restoration England; seen through the eyes of his wife, Queen Catherine of Braganza and Barbara Villiers, his greedy and sensual mistress.
