English Civil War – Charles II A Letter from his Majesty to the Speaker of the Commons Assembled in Parliament with his Majesties Declaration enclosed together with the Resolve of the House Thereon, Read in the House of Commons assembled in Parliament, Tuesday May 1 1660. Folio, 9pp plus title, unbound, some scuffing but otherwise in good condition. This is one of the most significant historical documents in Britain. It was the measure which restored Charles II to the Throne of England and Scotland. Monck had travelled to Belgium in his quest to secure the restoration but warned the exiled King that he had to agree to many demands laid down by Parliament. In this document, Charles sets out his agreement in principle to those demands including issuing a pardon to those who had opposed the Royalist cause during the Civil War, the right and freedom of Parliament as an institution, a basic freedom of Religious opinion. This was the foundation stone upon which the British form of Government rests – a Constitutional Monarchy.
