Description
"Nell possessed as a comedienne a real genius for the stage and achieved lasting fame in celebrated parts in the plays of John Dryden and Sir Robert Howard. As mistress for about sixteen years of Charles II - Charlemagne, as he was sometimes called at Court - Nell more than held her own against the King's scheming French mistress Louise de Keroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth. Their enmity enlivened the Court, amused their contemporaries and fascinates us today.
