Louise de Kérouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth
Long time mistress of King Charles II, whose pet name for her was “Fubbs” meaning chubby. She was admired for her pretty, round ‘baby’ face, but she concealed great cleverness and a strong character beneath her rather childish beauty, which the King greatly appreciated.

The Stuarts; A blog dedicated to the Stuart Kings and Queens of Britain, and the world they lived in.
The House of Stuart (previously spelt Stewart) is a European royal house. Founded by Robert II of Scotland, the Stewarts first became monarchs of the Kingdom of Scotland during the late 14th century, and subsequently held the position of the Kings of Great Britain and Ireland.
After the Stewarts gained control of all of Great Britain, the arts and sciences continued to develop; many of William Shakespeare's best known plays were authored during the Jacobean era, while institutions such as the Royal Society and Royal Mail were established during the reign of Charles II.
