I read his diary many years ago. I think the fact that he ended quite a
number of entries with "Beat my wife. And so to bed." pretty much sums

He's been mentioned often for his relevance in describing the music
scene in Charles II reign (another oversexed regent apparently). Has

of Samuel Pepys"? I'd very much like to see it.
