Description

Charles II establishes "the Fort att Yarmouth"

British monarch (1630–1685) who ushered in the Restoration of 1660 and ruled until his death. Manuscript DS, signed “Charles R,” one page, 7.5 x 11.75, October 14, 1665. Financial document for the "Establishment for the Fort att Yarmouth"—recording salaries for "A Sarjeant," "A Gunner," and "Twelve Soldiers"—signed at the head in ink by King Charles II, and countersigned at the conclusion by George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle; Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington; and Thomas Wriothesley, 4th Earl of Southampton. In fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
