English Civil War – Maritime – HMS Sovereign rare ms letter dated July 22nd 1643 addressed to the Commissioners of the Navy informing them that the Committee of the Navy had taken out the Sovereign and sent a guard to her at Chatham. An important action in the early days of the Civil War. HMS Sovereign of the Seas was a first rate ship of the line with 102 bronze guns^ later renamed at the command of Charles I as the ‘Royal Sovereign’. Charles regarded the ship as a symbol of his Kingship^ and therefore its taking by Parliamentary forces was a substantial propaganda blow to the King – particularly as it was subsequently renamed by Parliament as ‘The Commonwealth’. It later^ however^ reverted to the simple name of ‘The Sovereign’. An important letter in the history of the Civil War

Together with An Act for raising sevenscore thousand pounds for the compleat disbanding of the whole Army and paying off some part of the Navy. Folio 10pp unbound^ good condition. Two vital Acts in the success of the Restoration. On the departure from office of Richard Cromwell^ the country was full of disaffected troops from the former New Model Army who had not been paid. There were considerable fears that the Army might wish to take control via a military coup^ so it was vital that they should be at first appeased financially and then completely disbanded so that Charles could begin the long hard drive to restore normality to the country without the fear of insurrection from the country’s own army.
