Thomas Betterton (c. 1635 - 1710), actor, son of an under-cook to King Charles I. Charles II sent Betterton to Paris to study improvements to stage craft, introducing shifting scenes rather than tapestry to the English theatre. He and his actress wife, Mary Saunderson, were regarded as respectable in a period when acting was seen as indecent, and were invited to teach the children from noble and royal families to perform John Crowne's Calisto, 1675, in the last Stuart court Masque.

Charles II (1630-1685), king of England, Scotland and Ireland, 1660 to 1685. Following the execution of his father Charles I, he was forced into exile but returned with the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 (as alluded to be the vignette below his coat of arms, showing his triumphant return to London). One of many engravings of Charles II after Sir Godfrey Kneller. Following the death of Sir Peter Lely in 1680, Kneller became the undoubted favourite court painter of the king. After Charles II died in 1685, Kneller easily fought of competition from William Wissing and John Riley to maintain his position under the new king, James II.
