«El rey infiel» (To the health of His Majesty Charles II of England) is the historical novel by Jean Plaidy, published by Martínez Roca in 1995 in paperback.
Charles II appears as an unfaithful monarch, though also generous, sentimental and tolerant. The novel portrays his aristocratic and commoner mistresses, such as Barbara Villiers, and his marriage to Catherine of Braganza, in an England shaken by the conflict between Anglicans and Catholics, the plague and the Great Fire of London.
«El rey infiel» is the second installment of Jean Plaidy's Charles II series and belongs to the Grandes Novelas collection. The translation is by Zenobia Monflorit.
For readers of historical fiction and fiction about the seventeenth-century English monarchy and court.
