THE REAL NELL
Nell Gwyn was a celebrated English actress and mistress of King Charles II. Born in 1650, she rose from humble beginnings to become one of the first women to perform on the English stage. Known for her wit, charm, and beauty, she became a beloved figure both at court and among the public. Her relationship with the king lasted for many years, and they had two sons together. Nell is often remembered as a symbol of the Restoration era’s lively spirit.
