An Account of Honors and Appointments of Early Reign
A fragmentary royal record recounts patents for life peerages and offices during King James II's first year, naming the Duchess of Buckingham, Earl of Portwres, and various officials. It notes knighthoods conferred on merchants of the Levant, grants of estates, retirements, promotions in the militia, and pensions. It also mentions the execution sentence remitted for Ensign Gore and deaths of Francis Tyffen and John Praed, with further appointments in Bristol and Cornwall.
