The Rampant Sex Life of Charles II

He had at least 14 known mistresses and a hoard of illegitimate children; Charles II's private life was as politically charged as it was scandalous. He presided over the Restoration court, a world of excess, intrigue, gambling, gossip and a lot of sex. Dan is joined by the host of the Betwixt the Sheets podcast, Dr Kate Lister to explore the salacious side of Restoration England and examine how power, pleasure, and reputation collided at court.
