After the English civil war of 1642 the people were tired of war and were happy that it was finally over. The Scottish was shocked by what the English had done to their King and invited the son of the now deceased king, King Charles II, to Scotland. King Charles II soon got an army to lead to battle in England, against the army of the Parliament. He lost and all his army was gone (McDowall. 91).
King Charles fled to France after his army was defeated and lived in exile for several years. The unpopular ruler of England, the “Lord Protector” Cromwell died in1658 but wanted his son to take over as ruler, his son proved to be a poor ruler and so Charles II was asked to come back(The English Restoration).
