See Charles II's Illegitimate Children now at: https://www.patreon.com/LindsayHoliday
Charles II, King of England, Scotland & Ireland from 1660 to 1685 is one of the most notorious lotharios in history. The swarthy sovereign started early and continued making love, sometimes multiple times a day, until the week he died at 54. His court was famous for it’s flagrant hedonism and he took both noble ladies and commoner actresses to bed. The women were certainly up for it. They took advantage of the charming King’s affections to gain wealth and power they would never have had access to otherwise. Those who were fortunate enough to bare the King one of his 13 illegitimate children saw their offspring elevated to the peerage. Let’s meet the 14 known mistresses of King Charles II:
Christabella Wyndham
Lucy Walter
Jane Roberts
Elizabeth Killigrew
Catherine Pegge
Barbara Villiers (Barbara Palmer)
Winifred Wells
Mary Bagot
Mrs. Knight
Nell Gwyn
Louise de Kérouaille
Mary ‘Moll’ Davis
Hortense Mancini
Elizabeth Jones
+ Frances Stewart who managed to keep the King out of her bed

Frequently Asked Questions
What can Abraham Lincoln teach us?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast 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 goes for businesses. No matter how well we plan for success, there will be times when we hit roadblocks and find ourselves stuck in an unproductive rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. If nothing else is important, we must learn more, even after we have reached the pinnacle.
Lincoln was a good example of the right attitude. He understood that his business could be more successful, but he couldn’t afford to stop learning.
There are two types: entrepreneurs. Two types of entrepreneurs exist: those who stay busy and those with smart ideas.
Those who stay active focus on growing their business. They work on marketing strategies, product development, customer service, and other daily tasks.
While they might feel that they have made a significant contribution, often they are not. If these entrepreneurs don't focus on being smarter, they will not be able achieve sustainable growth.
What separates successful entrepreneurs from average ones? You are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
However, the average entrepreneur will stick with outdated methods that do not work. They don't want to change until the business goes under.
For success, you need to be skilled in both adaptation and self-reflection.
What do our mistakes show us?
Do not worry too much about making mistakes. This means that you will learn something. You can also learn from your mistakes. You don't have to worry about the small things. There's nothing wrong in making mistakes. We all make them.
It's okay to feel embarrassed about a mistake. However, it doesn't really matter if you feel ashamed. It's how you deal with your mistakes that matters most. You'll be unable to deal with them if they become a problem. However, if they are seen as opportunities for growth you will come out the other side stronger.
Recognize your mistake and move on. Focus on the next step and don't dwell on the past. Keep moving.
Don't obsess over your mistakes. Instead, find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes and become better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors make mistakes. However, how we react to these mistakes will determine whether or not our inventions are great successes.
When it comes to invention, there are no accidents. Every invention was designed. An accidental invention is not possible.
A deliberate act of invention is called an invention. It is an intentional decision to create something. Something that solves the problem. A solution that improves the quality of life.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.
While we wish to claim that invention can be easy, it isn’t. Invention requires hard work and persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
That means you must spend a lot of time thinking about problems and ideas. What do people care about? What do they want?
You have to ask yourself questions like these. Questions that will help you figure out what kind of product or service you should develop next.
This is possible only if you let go any preconceived notions. Any assumptions about what the world wants or needs. You must listen to your customers and potential clients.
Learn what they really want. They are not what they say they want.
Once you've figured out what they want, you have to devise a way to give it to them. That's where invention begins.

What are three lessons history can teach us?
There are many examples in history of how we can learn from our failures. They can be applied to current business challenges, and transformed into opportunities for growth.
We have learned from the past that there are always other ways to do things. There's always someone out there that thinks outside the box, and takes risks that make him or her stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. Look back at the times when an underdog won.
Take a look back at the past to learn from it and make improvements for the future. Learn from others' failures and successes.
These lessons can help increase your success rates.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps built the Suez Canal in 1869. He wanted to link Europe and Asia with his project. To do so, he needed to build a canal across the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), allowing ships from Europe to reach India and China. This involved the construction of several locks, dams and tunnels. He visited Egypt multiple times, and there he met with Khedive Ismail Pasha in order to finance the project. When he returned home to France, he discovered that Napoleon III had been overthrown, and was being replaced by the Second Empire. They had no interest in such an expensive project. He was there for three years before the French government offered to finance the project. In 1859, after the British were defeated at the Battle of Omdurman during the Sudan War, they signed a treaty allowing them access to the Red Sea via the Suez Canal, which opened in 1869.
The project opened up trade routes to increase international commerce and helped many countries develop around the world, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Africa.
In addition, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel much quicker than before. Before the construction of the Suez Canal, it took weeks to cross Isthmian Peninsula. It now takes days. People could travel to Paris, London Rome, Rome, and Constantinople easily without having to make long sea voyages or brave dangerous storms. In addition, the Suez Canal shortened the distance between North America and Europe by almost 3,000 miles, making it easier for people to move back and forth. The Suez Canal was one of the greatest transportation projects of all time.
But the Suez Canal was also problematic because it divided up the Ottoman Empire, which eventually led to World War I. During the war, the British used the Suez Canal to attack Germany, but the Germans attacked Britain using their version of the canal. The Suez Canal was finally under Egyptian control after the war ended, but the British retained the land to its right.
After the Second World War the Suez Canal remained a vital part of global commerce until the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. Both sides were reluctant to take action against the other at first because they feared that one side might use force. Eventually, Israel captured the Sinai peninsula from Egypt in 1967, and the Suez Canal was closed to all shipping except for military vessels. The Suez Canal was closed to civilian traffic for four more years after being shut down by Egypt's military forces. President Sadat eventually reopened it in 1973.
