Which British King was restored to the throne in 1660 after years of exile during the Puritan Commonwealth?

The Commonwealth was the period from 1649 onwards when England and Wales, later along with Ireland and Scotland, was ruled as a republic following the end of the Second English Civil War and the trial and execution of Charles I. Prince Charles was only eighteen when he heard that his father was dead. This made him King but Parliament was still in control of Britain and would not let him take his throne.

Charles fled to Holland and Britain was being ruled by Oliver Cromwell, an ordinary man who had been chosen as leader of the country by Parliament. When Cromwell died in 1658, his son Richard was chosen to be the next leader. Richard Cromwell was ineffective, and King Charles II was asked to come back and rule Britain.

In 1660, Charles II was brought back to Britain and took his throne. This was the English Restoration. Many of his enemies were punished for having executed his father and fought against him, but Richard Cromwell was allowed to go and live quietly away from London.
