Royal pageantry and public unrest amid mid 17th century turmoil
Reports recount a lavish Te Deum and fireworks for the Prince of Wales birth near Somerset House with 130 musicians and river procession. Later, violent mobs attacked a Loyalist house near Bow Lane End, while Bishop Hereford's dispute over a royal declaration spurred rumors of plots and English rebellion.
