Nell Gynne
No mistress could have been more different from these haughty
grasping beauties than the kindhearted, faithful, diverting Nell
Gwynne.
She first met Charles at the Duke's House theatre in 1668 .He was
enchanted by the unaffected girl Pepys later called 'pretty, witty
Nell' and before long, they became lovers. Charles never tired of Nell,
who gave him two more sons, and understandably so. Although he
lavished two fine homes on her, one of them in London's Pall Mall,
she never treated them like prizes or personal gains to be flaunted,
but as places where he could relax and enjoy what his other
mistresses never gave him - a real home and an interesting social life.
. Nell became something of a legend, as a good natured charmer, and
an ordinary girl from the slums who was probably the only mistress
of King Charles who truly loved him.
