Coronation of King Charles II at St Johns and shifting fortunes
An archaic account describes the Parliament and Kirk of Scotland affirming allegiance to the king at the Prefence Chamber with the Marquis of Arguile guiding the Crown ceremony while ministers pledge support. The king vows to protect laws and Covenant, and orders are set for armies to counter Highlands threats.
