9 x 13.25 in., "Given at our court at Whtehall (under?) our sign[ature?]...the eleventh day of July in ye nineteenth year of our Reign."(ca 1679) Charles II (1630-1685) was the king of the Restoration (reign 1660-1685). His father, Charles I was beheaded, despite his son's efforts to save him, the only English regent to suffer such a fate. During the English Commonwealth period, the republic was led by Oliver Cromwell. Upon Cromwell's death, the government was in disarray, eventually leading to the recall of Charles from exile. He would become Charles II in May 1660. This document concerns military expenditures. (A few words are unreadable because of water or insects.) With some archaic spelling. "...Those are so _______ and require you to ____ the said sume of sixteen hundred pounds to be registered upon the Art[illery?] for the eleventh months tax(?) : On the hundred thousand pounds for the Wages and Sallar[ies] of Officers and seamen, and that you likewise _____ sume of twoe thousand four hundred and eighty pounds for disbursement by ye Lord Carlingford, our late Envoy Extraordinary to the Empire of Germany to be registered upon the said Act in _____next after the sums of thirty thousand pounds____ wee directed to be regred.

Theobald Taaffe (d.1677), (later 1st Earl of Carlingford), had served the exiled Charles on the Continent as counselor and companion. He was also useful as a liaison, especially with Catholic leaders, since he was an Irish Catholic. It turned out, Charles also used Carlingford to intervene with several of his mistresses. After his Restoration to the monarchy, Charles created the position in the Irish peerage for his friend. There are a number of letters to Carlingford from Charles II the papers in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. Condition: Seal has come off, leaving a red stain where the wax was. Appears to have been wet at some point. Also with insect damage. The water has faded the ink a bit and the insects have damaged a number of words along the right side.
