    Charles II Restored | Farewell, Barbara Villiers

    Though their romance had cooled by the 1670s, Barbara Villiers and King Charles II remained close for the rest of his life. He gifted her Nonsuch Palace, originally built by Henry VIII and used often by Elizabeth I. Barbara, who fell on hard times after four years living in Paris, had Nonsuch Palace demolished so she could sell off the building materials to pay her gambling debts. The King died in 1685, but Barbara still had decades to go. In 1705, after the death of her long-suffering husband, she married a second time. Unfortunately, her new husband, Robert Fielding, was a gigolo who had married a different woman, believing her to be an heiress, just two weeks earlier. This became its own scandal and legal odyssey, but also a sort of fitting bookend for the life of Barbara Villiers, one of history's most interesting women, who died in 1709.

    173. Charles II at Court | 1662-1668, Featuring Winifred Wells, Frances Stewart, Mary Bagot, and Moll Davis

    It wasn't just Barbara Villiers (or his wife, Catherine of Braganza) who was sharing Charles II's bed. This week, we go deep on the Merry Monarch's relationships with Winifred Wells, Frances Stewart, Mary Bagot, and actress Moll Davis. Winifred Wells came to the King's attention as a Maid of Honor to Queen Catherine, and unlike the mean-girl energy of Barbara Villiers, Winifred and Queen became close, and Winifred remained in her employ for years after the death of Charles II. Frances Stewart was a renowned beauty who famously refused to become Charles's mistress - until, it seems, she did. She was also the first model for the personification of Britania on an English coin. Mary Bagot was the wife of one of Charles's longtime supporters, who had served his court while in exile in Europe. Mary "Moll" Davis was a popular actress of her day who provided yet another illegitimate child to the monarch before retiring to a fancy home and living on a pension provided to her by Charles.

    Birthday Bust: Andrew (Formerly Known As Prince) Arrested!

    It's been a huge day in our Trashy Universe, with what might be the start of real, criminal accountability for a Jeffrey Epstein friend. Finally, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office - what Americans would likely call "public corruption" - a charge that could land him in prison for life. Americans may still be fuming about elite impunity over here, but at least in the UK, someone powerful is entering the find-out phase. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
