Nell Gwyn (1650-1687) was one of the mistresses of King Charles II of England. Unlike his other mistresses (thirteen had known), Nell did not come from the aristocracy or wealthy parents. He grew up in a brothel and sold oranges in a theater. It is also believed to be prostituted at a young age. At fourteen he made his debut as an actress. The girl had beauty and self-confidence he soon succeeded in comedy. Was illiterate all his life that made it more difficult to memorize the papers someone had to read.
Her beauty, wit and great sense of humor won the hearts of the king. His good heart, lack of greed (the king asked him 400 pounds a year, received 4,000 the first year and then properties) and his generosity to the poor earned him the affection of the people who saw her as an equal. His story is reminiscent of Cinderella. Nellie
really loved the king and was faithful. He had two children but only one survived. Not requested a title for herself and the other lovers, though subtly got a title for your child. In a visit that made them the king she called the child with these words: "Come this little bastard. " The horrified king scolded her and she replied "how do you want me to call if you have not given name". County granted Burford.
was the only mistress of Charles II to which the queen, Catherine of Braganza, was sympathetic. The king on his deathbed he asked his brother to deal with it and not let her starve. Two years after the death of Charles, Nell had a stroke that left her bedridden until he died of a second attack. He was 37. She was buried in the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, on the corner of Trafalgar Square, London. A crowd attended his funeral to say goodbye of "Naranjera" redhead who became the king's court. The funeral was officiated by the future Archbishop of Canterbury.
will not be remembered as other courtesans for their service to the country or their intrigues. Nellie went down in history for his guts, s or eloquence and charm.
