Summary "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 05: May 1660" by Samuel Pepys is a historical diary written during the 17th century. This volume chronicles the significant events and personal reflections of Pepys, a civil servant and naval administrator, as England transitions into the Restoration period under King Charles II. The diary provides a detailed account of the political atmosphere, cultural happenings, and personal anecdotes of the time, illustrating Pepys's life and the historical context in which he lived. At the start of this volume, Pepys shares his observations and activities as England celebrates the restoration of the monarchy. The early entries recount May Day festivities, news of parliamentary support for the king, and Pepys's personal reflections on his health and his work. He describes events aboard his ship, interactions with notable figures, and the public joy surrounding the king’s return. Pepys's writing captures both the exuberance and the tumult of the era, as he details the enthusiasm of the people, including celebrations of loyalty to King Charles II, and the intricate political maneuverings that accompany the restoration of the monarchy in England.
