The Stuarts look good only in comparison with their predecesors, the
"off-with-their-heads" Tudors, and their successors, the Hanovers,
whom the American Revolution was fought against.  And of course their
interruptors, the Roundheads, who abolished music, sports, theater,
decorations, and Christmas.

It's interesting when gossip intersects with geography.  I live in
Virginia (was Bess really a virgin?), and just over the nearby state
border is Prince George's County, named for Anne's unfaithful husband.
I'd bet that 95% of PG County residents have no idea who their county
is named for.
