SkyNews recently had a report about the forthcoming sale of one of the two surviving copies of the Declaration of Breda - there were originally five - issued by King Charles II on April 4th 1660 in advance of the Restoration in May of that year.
The circumstances surrounding its issue and the contents are set out by Wikipedia at Declaration of Breda and the SkyNews report can be seen at King Charles II's declaration outlining his return from exile expected to fetch up to £600k at auction
It is to be hoped that the copy finds a suitable home in an appropriate archive or library.
