1690 1^ed Secret History Charles II James II England Catholic Protestant English

At the end of the 17^th-century, numerous anti-Catholic pamphlets and propaganda were published being very critical of the reigns of Kings Charles II and James II. This particular book, “The Secret History of the Reigns of Charles II and James II”, was written by an anonymous author, though modern scholarship attributes it to John Phillips or Robert Burton. The author provides important context on the British throne and the political and religious battles between Protestants and Catholics.
