About this listen

In today’s episode, we travel back to 17th century England and explore the life and legacy of Nell Gwyn, the fondly-remembered and extremely popular mistress of King Charles II. Nell, also known as "The People's Mistress," has been a subject of enduring interest in popular culture for centuries. A product of the vibrant new theatre scene in Restoration England, "pretty, witty Nell" (as Samuel Pepys described her) might have been one of history's first media celebrities.
