26. Nice Wig!

King Charles II ruled England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1660 until his death in 1685. History remembers him as “The Merry Monarch” because of his lustful ways and love of partying. Most importantly, he has gone down in history for having the weirdest wig ever made. He supposedly had a wig made out of the p***c hair of his many mistresses. Ew. 

We’re not here to yuck anyone’s yum, but… why?! The wig has been lost to history, so the only evidence of this weird hairpiece is its original wig box. The box is currently in the collection of St. Andrew’s University in Scotland. Almost 100 years later, King George IV tried to recreate a special wig of his own, but died before his masterpiece could be completed. That’s too bad…
