Barbara Palmer with Claire

We've got Claire from The Hisdoryan blog back to chat about a really scandalous lady- Barbara Palmer. Babs was the first official mistress of Charles II of England and if I could think of three words to describe her it would be drama, drama and drama. 

Claire has written a blog about her for our website, too! You can read part 1 here.
