Charles II, King of England, Scotland & Ireland from 1660 to 1685 is one of the most notorious lotharios in history. He loved the ladies and took both noble women and commoner actresses to bed, sometimes multiple times a day. And the ladies were certainly up for it. In addition to enjoying the charming sovereign’s company, they also enjoyed the gifts, estates, and noble titles he lavished upon them and their children. Last week we met Charles’s 14 known mistresses. Today we’ll meet the results of all that sensual behavior, the King’s 13 recognized illegitimate children. To his sons he granted Dukedoms and Earldoms and for his daughters he arranged marriages to the wealthiest noble bachelors. The King personally populated a new generation of English peers. But despite his lusty libido, Charles didn’t have a single legitimate child to inherit his throne. When he died and his unpopular brother became King James II many in the nation looked to his eldest illegitimate son as a possible alternative monarch and rebellion ensued. Let’s meet King Charles II’s 13 Illegitimate Children...

Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn from Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln stated, "I am slow learner; I am quick to forget."
He understood the importance of learning and knew that he would eventually need to let go of old habits in order to embrace new ones.
The same holds true for our businesses. No matter how meticulously we plan for success and what our goals are, there will be moments when we get stuck in a rut.
It is vital to continually learn and develop new skills. Even after we achieve success, it is essential to continue learning.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.
There are two types of entrepreneurs. There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who keep busy and those who stay sharp.
People who are always busy work solely to grow their businesses. They will be involved in product development, marketing strategies, customer service, or any other daily tasks.
While they may feel they have accomplished something worthwhile, many times they don't. Entrepreneurs who aren't focused on learning more won't see sustainable growth.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They are unwilling to change their course of action until their business collapses.
It is essential to learn both the art of adapting and self-reflection in order for success.
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
History repeats itself because we keep making the same mistakes again and again. We don't learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History repeats itself because we believe the same old stories. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. The ability to question authority. By challenging assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. When we don't learn, we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
History doesn't repeat itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.
You can end the cycle of history repetition by changing the way that you view the world. By understanding that nothing is permanent, you can see the possibilities. Nothing is unchangeable. All things are subject to constant change.
The key to breaking the cycle is to embrace uncertainty. To accept that things could go wrong. Accept that failure is possible. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.
You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
If you want freedom, you have to let go. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.
What lessons can be learned from history?
History has taught us three important lessons. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. It is important to make sure that people are prepared for change when you try to improve their lives. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is to fight for it; the other is to create it. It is easy to lose sight of why you started a fight in the first place when you are focusing on winning.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. However, if you are determined to motivate someone to take action, you will succeed.
Great movements were born out of an idea that was realized and then taken action. So whether you're creating change or reacting to it, the best way to make your mark is to follow these three rules: Be clear about what you want, be honest about where you come from, and be brave enough to go where nobody else has gone before.
Second, we have the ability to choose. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Do we want to control our destiny?
I think we're living a golden time right now. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
However, it can also be a problem. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
Let's suppose you want to buy your first house. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. You could also think about what you would love to do. Look for a job which allows you to do that. Finally, apply for financing.
Let's suppose you want to travel the globe. Perhaps you are asking, "Where do i want to go?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. Then, you book a trip.
Let's assume you didn't really know what you wanted. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. By asking yourself such questions, you increase the likelihood of getting what your heart desires. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.
The third lesson is the ability to always improve the future, regardless of what happens next. It is easy to see why. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.
You can learn from the mistakes and successes of others and continue to improve until you achieve your goals.
You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You have to believe in yourself.
Don't worry if you don't know where you should start. Start small and then build on it. Look back at the things you've done throughout your lifetime. What are you most proud of? Which areas have you excelled? What have you done to overcome obstacles?
Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. You can accomplish anything, no matter what anyone tells you.
Benjamin Franklin stated, "Nothing can work unless it works."
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make them.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. You've learned a lot.
While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. And that's the difference between success and failure.
It all starts with acknowledging your mistakes. Look at your mistakes objectively, and then ask yourself: "What lessons have I learned?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They are learning opportunities.
Thomas Edison experienced exactly that. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Please take advantage of them.
And then try again.

How To
How did propaganda become marketing history?
When Max Weber, German sociologus and German sociologist came up with the term propaganda from the Greek phrase "praopagos", the word means "to speak well", the term was first used. The Latin verb propaganda, which means "nearby" or at hand, and the noun "agogos," which means "speech or speech," is the source of the word. It refers to "a systematic effort to shape attitudes or behavior."
In his book "Propaganda," published in 1928, British journalist George Orwell wrote: "To understand the true nature of propaganda, we must realize that it is not the intention to make people believe anything; it is only the intention to change their beliefs...It is intended to make them accept one thing rather than another."
Edward Bernays (1891 –1955), who was Sigmund Fréud's nephew. The psychoanalyst and nephew of Sigmund Freud became famous after he invented "public relations" back in 1922. He said that "the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society." He started the public relations agency "Bernays & Company", where he remained until 1955.
From the 1920s to the 1950s, Bernays developed an "engineering consent" technique - influencing public opinion through advertising and publicity campaigns. His techniques were later adopted by mass media companies such as Time Magazine, CBS News, NBC News, and Newsweek. Bernays became a close collaborator with corporations and government agencies in order to influence public opinion after World War II. Johnson & Johnson (General Electric), Procter & Gamble; Coca-Cola; Ford Motor Company; U.S. Department of Defense; American Tobacco Company; DuPont, Rayonier and the United States Chamber of Commerce were just a few of his clients.
His most notable client was the tobacco industry. Philip Morris was his most notable client. He developed a campaign against tobacco smoking in 1939. This campaign was recommended by the Surgeon general. This led to the passage of the Cigarette Advertising Act in 1965, which prohibited any cigarette advertisement in print media, including magazines, newspapers, and television.
He also gave advice on how to deal during the Great Depression with the growing labor movement. Bernays suggested to the president that he declare a "war against hunger" and use the federal government's ability to ensure adequate food supplies. This strategy helped the president win reelection in 1936 by making the government appear benevolent and fatherly.
Bernays promoted the idea of "radio-listening" in order to increase radio sales. He introduced the concept "branding", "advertising" and other concepts in the early 1930s. He believed that consumers could feel special and be influenced through appealing to their emotions. He promoted the slogan "Have it all!" in 1933, encouraging women to buy war bonds.
He founded a political committee, "Young People for Freedom," in 1944. This group was created to encourage Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower was elected president in 1952 after Bernays' efforts were successful.
Bernays persuaded CIA to set up a coup in Iran. Shah Reza Pahlevi took over Mohammad Mosaddegh's place. He justified this move as necessary to prevent Mosaddegh from nationalizing Iranian oil fields. Bernays published articles after the coup praising the new regime for being "moderate", "progressive,"and "modernized".
Bernays won many other awards during his career.
