CHARLES II, KING OF ENGLAND
A manuscript document prepared by his secretary J. Trevor, with what
appears to be the signature of the King at head, instructing his law
officers to prepare a Bill appointing ‘our right trusty and well-beloved
Cousin Edward Lord Viscount Conway and Kilulta to be Constable and
Governor of our Fort of Charlemont in our County of Armagh’, dated
10 April 1672 at Whitehall. Laid watermarked paper, folded sheet,
attached to a more recent sheet, no seals present. Edward, who fought
at the Battle of Benburb, was the 3rd Viscount Conway. In 1658
he had brought the illustrious divine Jeremy Taylor to be his chaplain
at Parkmore, which he had recently built, and it was in this pleasant
setting that Taylor wrote some of his devotional works. Sir Edward died
in 1683.
