  The Restoration

  王政复辟

  When Oliver Cromwell died in 1658 and was succeeded by his son, Richard, the regime began to collapse.

The Parliament thus was elected in 1660 resolved the crisis by asking the late Kings son to return from his exile in France as king Charles II. It was called the Restoration.
