The Restoration of the English and Scottish monarchies after the rapid collapse of the Commonwealth has always been a mystery to me. Apparently the key player in the event, General GeorgeMonck, later Duke of Albemarle, had fought for the royalists in the first civil war, was captured and imprisoned, and then went over to the Parliamentary side. His wife remained vocally Royalist. What if the Commonwealth had just kept him in prison?
