The years of unpopular Calvinist prohibitions on public amusements had discredited Cromwell's Puritan regime, and most English men and women welcomed the restoration of the monarchy to put an end to these restrictions. Charles II was not widely respected for his piety, and he did not pledge to restore the primacy of Puritan government. The restoration of bishops was a factor, but not the main reason for the welcome of the restoration of the monarchy. Monarchy was not necessarily considered the "best" form of government for England, as there were still debates and criticisms of the power of the monarchy throughout the restoration period.
