Boscobel Woods 1651: A Hidden Historical Moment in British History This evocative image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to a pivotal moment in British history: the escape of King Charles II from the Battle of Worcester in 1651. After his defeat at the hands of Oliver Cromwell's forces, the King found refuge in the boscobel Woods, located in Shropshire, England. The actual tree where Charles II hid, halfway down on the right side of the photograph, remains an intriguing piece of historical lore. The King's escape was a remarkable feat, considering the vast manhunt that ensued after his defeat. He disguised himself as a commoner, wearing a simple brown coat and a wig, and was aided by a local woman named Frances Teresa Stewart, the Countess of Leicester, who provided him with shelter and transportation. The events of September 1651 are shrouded in mystery and legend, with many tales and myths surrounding the King's escape. This photograph, however, offers a glimpse into the historical reality of the scene, inviting us to imagine the tension and drama that unfolded in the woods that day. The Battle of Worcester marked the end of the Second English Civil War and the beginning of the Commonwealth period in England. The defeat of the Royalist forces and the capture of King Charles II signaled the end of the monarchy and the rise of the Puritan Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell. The King eventually made his way to France, where he lived in exile for over a decade before returning to England in 1660, following Cromwell's death. This photograph is a testament to the rich and complex history of Britain, offering a glimpse into a moment of intrigue, drama, and transformation. The actual tree where Charles II hid remains a reminder of the past, standing tall and proud in the heart of the Boscobel Woods.
