His Majesty the King: A Romantic Love Chase of the Seventeenth Century is a historical romance novel written by Cosmo Hamilton. The story is set in the seventeenth century and follows the romantic pursuit of King Charles II of England for a beautiful and mysterious woman named Lucy Walter. The novel explores the political and social climate of the time, as well as the scandalous and often dangerous affairs of the royal court. As Charles becomes increasingly enamored with Lucy, he faces opposition from both his advisors and his own conscience, as he grapples with the morality of his actions and the potential consequences for his kingdom. Along the way, Hamilton weaves in themes of power, loyalty, and betrayal, as well as the complexities of love and desire. With vivid descriptions and rich historical detail, His Majesty the King is a captivating tale of passion and intrigue that will transport readers back in time to the court of Charles II.1926.

Cosmo Hamilton delving deeply into the history of the time, has found in the accounts of the life the unhappy prince led while in exile a gap of twenty-four hours. No one can ever know the exact history of that period...what Charles did, where he was, who was with him. But Mr. Hamilton has written a story into that missing day and night; a story charming, convincing, and in keeping with the spirit of the time.
