HMY Royal Escape
HMY ''Royal Escape'' was a royal yacht used by King Charles II. She was a former coastal trader, a brig named ''Surprise''.
King Charles took passage on ''Surprise'' after the final defeat of the royalist cause in 1651, narrowly avoiding pursuing Parliamentarian forces. He arrived safely in France, where he lived in exile until the Restoration in 1660. On his return Charles purchased the ship he had travelled on, naming her after his escape from England nearly a decade before. He kept her moored close to his palace, showing her to other royals. The ship remained on the Navy Lists for many years, being sold finally in 1750, though several other vessels perpetuated the name until 1877.
==King Charles's escape==
After the royalist defeat at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651 King Charles II escaped and fled from the Parliamentarian forces who had orders to arrest him. He travelled eventually to Brighton, where he met the captain of a coal-brig, Nicholas Tattersall, and arranged passage to France. Tattersall was the only person who was to know Charles's identity, the crew were told that the passengers were merchants fleeing their creditors. Tattersall agreed to make the passage, and safely landed the royal party at Fécamp.〔
