Private Audience with the King and Royal Scrutiny on Forfeitures
The Prince of Daneark received a private audience with the King, escorted by the Duke of Ormond, as the King departed London. Parliament and Great Seal arrangements were updated, with Sir John Summers sworn Lord Keeper and Trenchard named Secretary of State, while new commissions formed to execute the Lord High Admiral role. Proclamations announced public fairs to seek divine protection and the prorogation of Parliament, plus a crackdown on forfeitures and concealed lands tied to the Crown.
