It may have started for the Merry Monarch up an oak tree. Having lost out at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, Charles II was forced to hide up in the branches of a Boscopel oak while the bushes below him were beaten by Parliamentary forces.
Certainly, he was to be noted for his appreciation of trees when he regained the throne almost a decade later. Founder of London's famed modern public park system, his aboral activities were well appreciated by none other than the great horticulturist John Evelyn. "You are our God of the forest-trees, King of the grove, as having once your Temple, and court too under that Holy Oak which you consecrated with your presence," quoth the diarist in the dedication of his classic volume Sylva (1664). True, Charles may be better known for appreciation of the feminine form, but this is better told elsewhere.The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.
