1621 1717 Alas Bedchamber Chamber Emptied Groom Memoir Merry Monarch Monarchs Unpublished


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Edward Progers, Groom of the Bedchamber to King Charles II, in a moment of quiet reflection. The year is 1675, and Progers, dressed in the elegant attire of the Royal Court, sits before an ornate fireplace, a chamber pot at his feet. This seemingly mundane task was a crucial part of the groom's duties, ensuring the monarch's comfort and cleanliness. Born in 1621, Progers served the English monarchy for over five decades, beginning his career under King Charles I and continuing through the tumultuous reigns of Oliver Cromwell and the Restoration. Progers' memoirs, which chronicled his experiences at the heart of English history, remain unpublished to this day. They offer a unique perspective on the lives of the monarchs he served, from the intrigue of the Civil War era to the merry revelries of the Merry Monarch, Charles II. Despite the historical significance of Progers' life and his firsthand accounts of pivotal moments in English history, his memoirs have yet to see the light of day. The reasons for their unpublished status remain a mystery, leaving historians and scholars to speculate on the potential contents and implications of this lost historical record. This photograph, a poignant reminder of Progers' role in the annals of English history, invites us to ponder the rich tapestry of stories that lie hidden within the pages of the unpublished memoir. The chamber pot, an object of necessity in Progers' daily duties, serves as a humbling reminder of the human element that underpins even the most grandiose of historical narratives.
