Merry King Charles Stuart II: The Black King of England – Oguejiofo Annu
The word Stuart comes from the old nordish root Svart which means black. Stuart is the same word as Swarthy, which means black in old English. [Others claim its root origin is Steward]. However that might be, this is not the crux of the story here. Our story is about the suppressed history of the Black and Brown Europeans including several kings that had once called Europe their original home.
There was once a Stuart line of Kings in England. The name of the founding ancestor was Stuart.
In this post, we feature the original painting of one of the Stuart Kings of England and Scotland, King Charles II, also lovingly known as the “black boy” of England by his subjects.
He is commemorated in the celebrated name of the Black Boy Inn, found all over the British Isle.
Like his ancestors before him, King Charles II was a black man. Many of his surviving paintings falsely depict him as a so-called white man in clear contradiction to the famous description of the jolly King.
However, in the picture posted immediately below, one can see one of the contemporary paintings of King Charles Stuart II, Merry Black Boy of England. This picture invites all to decide why King Charles Stuart II, would have been called the black boy.
King Charles Stuart II 1630 – 1685
The eldest surviving son of Charles I and Henrietta Maria of France, daughter of Henry IV of France, the future Charles II was born on 29th May, 1630, at St. James Palace, London, the second child of the marriage, he replaced an elder brother, Charles James, who had died shortly after birth.
It was said that when Charles was born in 1630 he was nicknamed the Black Boy by his mother, Queen Henrietta Maria, because of his dark and swarthy appearance
In 1646, following political crisis, his father Charles I was overthrown by Oliver Cromwell and beheaded. Charles II had to flee for his life through Scotland and on to France after making a weak and symbolic attempt at regaining the Stuart title. Fate and reality had soon dawned on him. He settled into a life of penury in France.
Upon the death of Oliver Cromwell, Charles was recalled back to England by Cromwell’s legatee and son who had no interest in ruling England. Charles was restored back to the throne and his coronation took place at the traditional venue of Westminster Abbey on 23rd April, 1661.
The Merry Monarch as he was later to become known, is famous for his many mistresses. Although he had numerous children by his mistresses, the Queen, to her great sadness, remained barren.
Charles popularity with the people was solid. Despite the ravages of last great outbreak of the Bubonic Plague struck London in 1665, which claimed thousands of lives; and the great fire of London 1666 which completely destroyed the city, he was highly favoured by the people.
He died without an official heir on 6 February, 1685 after a brief illness and was succeeded by his brother, King James II. He was the most beloved of all the Kings in the line of the Stuarts.
Black King of England
According to the annals of the english monarch:
Charles’ appearance was anything but English, with his sensuous curling mouth, dark complexion, black hair and dark brown eyes, he much resembled his Italian maternal grandmother, Marie de Medici’s side of the family. During his escape after the Battle of Worcester, he was referred to as ‘a tall, black man’ in parliamentary wanted posters.
One of the nick-names he acquired was the black boy His height, at six feet two inches, probably inherited from his Danish paternal grandmother, Anne of Denmark, also set him apart from his contemporaries in a time when the average Englishman was far smaller than today.
English Pubs
All English pubs named the Black boy are named after Charles II due to the swarthy and dark colour of his complexion.
Modern European painters try to hide the racial identity of this jolly King by depicting such fantasy as is posted below:

Strong conversations!
Personally I think Jesus was a brown man just like the Palestine people of today.
King Charles II was dark skinned from his mothers side, probably a unusual appearence at the time in England before immigration.
Am enchanted to have found this interesting forum! Personally I do not embrace the statement that King Charles ll Stuart would have been a so called black man. His complexion was darker than of the average englishman, due to some of his relatives, that is supposedly the whole truth. I shall, with great pleasure, behold and study the other given comments. Thank You!
also swarthy , one can get from being sun tanned, or from being mixed blood, but also a leathery appearence as well, not just dark, or brown or black compexion.some of the dictionarys that define swarthy , leave out this aspect, due to just plain ignornace on how the word was used in older times, vs. modern,
I would like to share this with you all; finding it is what led me to this site after a quick Google search.
It is from the Memoirs of John Macky, Esq., found on the site archives.org.
On page 36, John Lenos, Duke of Richmond, is described as having a “black complexion.” This newfound info really intrigues me…
Has anyone done more research on this individual?

Hi – Stumbled on this while looking into a supposed historical connection between my family and the Stuart kings. Just thought it would be pertinent to point out that for centuries in Britain the term ‘black’ was used to describe someone with black hair and dark eyes. It had nothing to do with skin colour. Sheesh, what a fuss over nothing! We all came out of Africa originally – it’s just that some of us lost our tans because of the chilly northern weather.
The garden of Eden is in Africa… so if white people aren’t from Africa ,then were are they from…
Moreover, we are all from Africa.
And remember this in bible Ham created the black race…
And also remember Isaac better know as isreal created the Brown race. The king james bible states: and the children were brown as you dig in the ground..
Now as u dig deep the dirt goes from lite brown to very dark brown..
also remember the hebrews used the word negro highly ..also mosses was married to an Ethiopian who is descendants of “ham..
also i ssd real is north east Africa. ..
Caucasian never could servive in africa because of there (type Y DNA)which means non melon which is the s as me DNA as A LBINOS (TYPE Y DNA). ALBINOS ARE MUTATIONS. So why would God create a SPECIES that could not servive under heat conditions causing skin cancer. .
Also ever living species on this earth has melanin except ALBINOS & WHITES…UMMM MAYBE JUST MAYBE THERE THE SAME…
AFRICANS PRODUCE ALBINO TYPE Y(whites) ON A REGULAR.
I HAVE NOT YET SEEN NOR HEARED OF TWO TYPE Ys Producing a African. ..
ALSO IF THE WHITE COME FROM NEANDERTHALS. AND NEANDERTHALS ARE ANIMALS NOT HUMAN .THATS RULES OUT ADAM AND EVE DOESN’T IT…IT DEFINITELY RULES OUT JESUS’S WHO IS CLEARLY A BROWN MAN…
ALSO IF TYPE Y IS PRODUCE THROUGH AFRICANS STILL TO THIS DAY…THATS TYPE Y PEOPLE WOULD BE CHILDREN OF “HAM”…HUUMMMMMM
NOAH WAS BLACK. ..AND CHINA FIRST DYNASTY SPOKE 20 DIFFERENT AFRICAN LANGUAGES….. NOT ONE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT EVER SPEAK OF WHITES…BUT IT DOES SPEAK OF SKIN DIESES. .
ESA Gave birth to children who complexion turn white do to a disease ….THE FIRST KING JAMES BIBLE. …ANY NEW T ESTAMENTS ARE FOOLED WITH …
Very, very true. All NON-AFRICANS have Neanderthal in them.
Before judging others based on skin color, realize that if you look at all of the peoples in the world, very few do not have the DNA of other races. Rome was one of the first civilizations that was made up of mixed peoples (blacks, whites, & browns). Looking at the bible in perspective, I feel that one of the reasons that whites weren’t mentioned is because most were not living in the areas at the time. But, if we all came from one of Noah’s sons, then we’re related. And DNA testing shows that the white people originally came from Africa.
No your wrong. Go back and carefully read it again.
Deuteronomy ch.28
Ham the youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the flood; and one of eight persons to live through the flood… HE BECAME THE PROGENITOR OF THE DARK RACES BUT (NOT) THE NEGROES, but the Egyptians, Eithopians, Libyans and Canaanites.
They are Africans. Egypt and Libya in north, Ethiopia in the east and Canaanites in the south. Negroes are dark skinned melinated people similar to Africans but are NOT Africans. Negroes are the Hebrew Isrealites the bible is their historical and spiritual document. Yahawah’s laws and commandments.
Which has nothing to do with religion or Christianity. A Holy Roman Catholic Church White Supremacist doctrine. When the Bible is a Black Man’s (Hebrew Israelites’) book. Nearly all the characters are black. Noah, Moses, Yahawah, Yahawahshi, 12 disciples, Solomon etc.
Truth is that white people and their skin color come from leprosy. Do your research.
My last comment was to Liam. Assuming they became white being in the north.
You dont have a tan though thats why you feckless peasants are so pale and frail and age after 19. Sucks to be a pail frail honkey.
No we did not. And as a so called white person (your actually an Edomite from the seed of Esau) and are different shades of Red! ‘White’ is just a modern day political term propagated by white supremacy to give the white race false inherent values of good, fair, just and all things positive. While giving (so called Black people) term Black and false inherent values of all things negative. We are not Black but different shades of brown from light to dark.
And it’s not a tan its skin pigmentation called Melanin. Edomites (whites) are gentically recessive and have no pigmentation but are Albinos. The same is true of blond hair and blue eyes. Promoted in white supremacy as beautiful yet is recessive and an infiriority in the human species.
Skin pigmentation or melanin is not lost by climatic conditions. Living in a colder climate. That is a phallacy. White Europeans living in South Africa for generations have not become black or dark skinned. Eskimos (Innuit) living for generations in Alaska have not become white? They are still melinated people the same colour as their ancestors.
The only way a peoples skin colour changes is through interbreeding with lighter or darker coloured people. Miscegenation. Not climatic conditions.
Im black and my father white Scottish. ..I am his seed and i am dark brown. …so a white man can have a dark seed ….but my mom is native and hebrew
No. You are of the seed of your father. So you are Scottish and an Edomite (so called white but actually different shades of red). Though you are melinated and brown. And your mother is Hebrew Isrealite? Hebrew is just the language. Isrealite our nationality, lineage.
If fitting the description of the 12 Tribes of Isreal (Jacob).
The canaanites were cursed with leprosy. Leprosy is a skin pigment that turns a person with melanin in their skin,, light! So if you want to know what it looks like, just imagine a “black” person with “white” splashes all over them. And esau, the start of Caucasians, started mating with the cursed Canaanites
First off the canaanites were not cursed with leprosy. Canaan was cursed by Noah, not GOD. The type of leprosy that you are describing is in your term “clean leprosy”. Kind of sad, that in this day & age, you can’t read a book or view tapes on Leprosy to see the differences in the types. There are some types of leprosy that are not able to be treated. It can occur to people of all skin colors. It doesn’t cause dark skin to turn white, either. The hebrews that were checked for “leprosy” were grateful if their skin just turned white. But, if their rash didn’t go away, or they continued with other symptoms, they were isolated & made to live outside of the camp. I believe when Yeshua cured the lepers that he was treating actual leprosy, & not a clean leprosy. If you re-read where he was treating a leper, the man couldn’t walk due to his illness.
