[00:00:00]Today, May 29th, 1660, England threw a party for a man who once survived by becoming a tree.

[00:00:07]Nine years earlier, after losing the Battle of Worcester, Charles II hid in an oak while soldiers searched below.

[00:00:13]Imagine the wanted king, rich guy, leaves and hair, pretending to be bark.

[00:00:19]Then, on his 30th birthday, he rode back into London and got the monarchy restored. The oak became merch. Oak Apple Day followed, where oak leaves or kids might pinch you, kick you, even sting you with nettles for being a Roundhead.

[00:00:33]The plot twist? England's comeback story was basically camouflage cosplay.
