English Royalist Song - Here’s a Health unto His Majesty

Here’s a Health unto His Majesty is an English royalist song. It dates from the reign of King Charles II, and was composed by Jeremiah Savile, a prominent teacher “for the voyce or viol“ during the English Commonwealth and Restoration in London. The song mocks the parliamentary forces during the English Civil War, known as Roundheads. Today it is used as the regimental march of the Royal Army Medical Corps. Pictured: King Charles I
