Boscoble House in Wolverhampton, England was the secret hideout of Charles II. He loved to tell the story of his adventurous escape after being defeated in battle in 1651 and how he hid in the gardens of Boscoble.
Charles II rode about 40 miles (64 km) and arrived at an estate near Boscoble House. The brothers who own the other estate disguise him as a woodcutter, smear his face with soot and bring him to Boscoble. Around Boscoble House there was an oak in which the king hid with another fugitive while the Parliamentarians were looking for them. They had only two pillows and only bread.
In the end, Boscoble House proved to be a good hiding place and the king was not discovered. After Boscoble, he changed more hiding places, until in 1660 the moment of his Restoration came. The family that took care of the king was richly rewarded. The oak tree was cut down by treasure hunters, but even today its remains grow and attract many tourists to the place.
