Catherine of Braganza: More than the queen overshadowed by Charles II's mistresses

Though Catherine of Braganza (1638-1705) wed Charles II of England (reign 1660-1685) in a union of great political consequence, her life and impact in Restoration England remain largely overlooked in the English-speaking world.
