The fact that King Charles II made it excruciatingly clear that it was named after his father and not him, isn’t something to be proud of.
His hasty retreat of the U.S. after roughly 18 months, and several terms in the debtors prison (not for his religion) casts further doubt on his legacy
I only came to know this after touring his estate and all the hosts/actors/docents trashed him and I decided to verify what they said, and it was surprisingly accurate, especially coming from strongly suspected anti-Christian liberals.
But, neither you or I knew him, and I don’t really care about him. This was a free exchange of ideas, and there are only winners in that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate_Roof_House
For two years (1699-1701), during his second visit to America, William Penn rented the house for use as a city residence while maintaining his country house at Pennsbury Manor in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It was at the Slate Roof House that he wrote and issued his “Charter of Privileges,” a progressive framework for Pennsylvania’s government that became the model for the United States Constitution and is still the basis of free governments all over the world.
