Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section B: British depth studies including the historic environment, then anchor the answer in Part one: Crown, Parliament, plots and court life. The evidence should connect to Study Charles II's court, including Charles II's character, court life, fashions and the court's role and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

Anchor the answer to Part one: Crown, Parliament, plots and court life, use precise evidence, and state whether Charles II is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
