About this episode

The episode discusses the aftermath of the Great Fire and the financial challenges faced by Charles II in preparing for the Second Anglo Dutch War.

In the wake of the Great Fire, Charles worked with parliament to prepare for the 1667 campaigning season in the Second Anglo Dutch war. But there was a problem, and the problem was money. In the end a plan was hatched to ride out the year, while a treaty was negotiated. And it seemed to be working. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
