Eleanor (Nell) Gwyn was born #OnThisDay 1650. One of the best known of the mistresses of Charles II, unlike many of his other partners, Gwyn was not granted her own peerage, but her eldest son, Charles Beauclerk was created duke of St Albans, a title that survives to this day.

Politics and Culture of the Late Stuart Court, 1649-1714 Working Programme

The Stuart courts of Charles II, James II, William III and Mary II, and Anne emerged from and responded to the complex political and cultural transformations of late seventeenth-century Europe. Increasingly, cross-disciplinary research practices have sought to interrogate the unique character, purpose and practices of this multifaceted network. This symposium, spanning the fields of politics, philosophy, literature, art history and material culture studies, will bring together the diverse span of contemporary scholarship to explore how the late Stuart Courts were politically and culturally constructed. It will consider how these royal circles not only mirrored and moulded the identities of their leading figures, but also created new arenas of influence, encounter, and exchange across the globe.

We are delighted to welcome Professor Maria Hayward, specialist in early modern textiles and clothing, and author of the prize-winning book Stuart Style: Monarchy, Dress and the Scottish Male Elite (2021) as our Keynote speaker.

The Symposium will take place on Tuesday, 7th April 2026 at Christ's College, Cambridge. For those interested in joining us, please sign up via our Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1980806533664?aff=oddtdtereator 
While in person spots are limited, we will be streaming the Symposium for registered virtual attendees.

Keep on reading for details on our full programme of speakers!
