23 April - Coronation of British Emperor Charles II

 


Charles II was crowned as the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland on April 23, 1661.

Charles II ascended to the throne following the restoration of the monarchy in England after the English Civil War and the period of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell. His father, Charles I, was executed in 1649, and Charles II spent several years in exile before returning to England as king in 1660.

The coronation of Charles II took place at Westminster Abbey in London on April 23, 1661, marking the official beginning of his reign. Charles II's coronation was a grand event, symbolizing the restoration of the monarchy and the return to stability after years of political upheaval.

As for the term "British Emperor," it's important to note that the title of "Emperor" is not traditionally associated with the British monarchy. Instead, the British sovereign holds the title of "King" or "Queen." The term "Emperor" typically refers to the ruler of an empire, which historically has not been the case for the British monarchy.
