## Commentary

The King Charles Spaniel is mentioned in documents dating from the 16th century, but it was only in England&#39;s Stuart court during the 17th century that the breed became established. King Charles II \(1630-1685\) of England liked his spaniels the most and had many. The pets enjoyed a privileged status and could stroll freely inside the royal palaces.
