Ronald Hutton's Charles the Second, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, published by Oxford University Press in 1989, was the first full scholarly biography treating Charles II's reign across all three kingdoms together, covering the Clarendon Code, the 1673 Test Act, the Popish Plot, the Exclusion Crisis, and his deathbed reception into the Catholic Church in 1685. Hutton is a widely published academic historian of early modern Britain, and the book rests on standard university press peer review and direct archival research. It remains a standard scholarly reference specifically for Charles II's reign and its religious politics.
