Series - English History from Contemporary Writers [WIKIPEDIA]"After the death of Oliver Cromwell in 1658, Charles's initial chances of regaining the Crown seemed slim; Cromwell was succeeded as Lord Protector by his son Richard. (...) In 1659, the Rump Parliament was recalled and Richard Cromwell resigned. During the civil and military unrest that followed, George Monck, the Governor of Scotland, was concerned that the nation would descend into anarchy.(...) Parliament dissolved itself, and there was a general election for the first time in almost 20 years.(...)The so-called Convention Parliament assembled on 25 April 1660, and soon afterwards welcomed the Declaration of Breda, in which Charles promised lenience and tolerance. There would be liberty of conscience, and Anglican church policy would not be harsh. He would not exile past enemies nor confiscate their wealth. There would be pardons for nearly all his opponents except the regicides.(...)Charles (...) arrived in Dover on 25 May 1660 and reached London on 29 May[.] (...) Although Charles and Parliament granted amnesty to nearly all of Cromwell's supporters in the Act of Indemnity and Oblivion[.](...) In the end nine of the regicides were executed (...) The bodies of Oliver Cromwell, Henry Ireton and John Bradshaw were subjected to posthumous decapitations.(...)In the latter half of 1660, Charles's joy at the Restoration was tempered by the deaths of his siblings Henry and Mary of smallpox. At around the same time, Anne Hyde, the daughter of Lord Chancellor Edward Hyde, revealed that she was pregnant by Charles's brother James, whom she had secretly married. Edward Hyde, who had not known of either the marriage or the pregnancy, was created Earl of Clarendon and his position as Charles's favourite minister was strengthened." #CharlesII #readersofinstagram #Bookworm #Restoration #bookcollecting #ClarendonCode #bibliophile #OliverCromwell #Antiquarian #Books #Presbyterian #CuttleboneBooks #Anglican #Bookstagram #booksale #Catholicism #collectiblebooks #BritishHistory #Rare #BooksBooksBooks #EnglishCivilWar #Scarce #KingOfEngland #instabooks #booksforsale #KingOfScotland #Vintage #KingOfIreland #instaread
