The Descendants of Charles II, Volume 2: Dacre

King Charles II of England and Scotland could well have been called the Father of his Country. Although he had no children by his Queen, he recognized 15 illegitimate children by seven different women. This series seeks to trace out the thousands of descendants of those 15 children. Along the way, brief biographical information will be presented of those families featured in each volume. Volume 2 focuses on the descendants from Charles’s eldest daughter, the Countess of Sussex. Her descendants include the Barons Dacre, Viscounts Hampden, and the Barrett-Lennard Baronets. While the majority of people in this volume live or lived in the United Kingdom, there are large numbers of Australians, Canadians, and Americans as well.
