The New Abbey Herald May 29, 1660 It has been nearly eleven years since King Charles I was executed, but the New Abbey Herald is pleased to report the monarchy has been restored! Charles II is said to take over the throne today and resume the monarchy. While some people worry about a return to absolute control, others are overjoyed. One member of Parliament released a statement today: “I am proud to announce the new change in England’s government. Now that Oliver Cromwell and his military rule has ceased, Charles II will take over. You have no need to worry since a constitutional monarchy will be implemented. Therefore, all individual rights and freedoms will be protected. This is a new, dramatic change for England, but will surely be for the best.” It is clear that the majority of citizens share this enthusiasm since civilians have flooded the streets of London in celebration for the past week. People are happy to see England rise to greatness once again after a brief period of instability & Puritan rule following the Civil War. People are now guaranteed a more equal government with Parliament and the monarchy working together. Citizens are already referring to Charles II as the “Merry Monarch,” because of his parties, games, whit, and support for the arts/sciences. People can now rejoice and celebrate a new English government!
