• Charles I King of England DS
  Charles I King of England DS Blank manuscript document signed with wafer seal 1p 8.75 x 13 in. n.p. n.d. (ca 1640s). Boldly signed Charles R at top. Seems to be a ship pass for a fishing vessel: We are gratiously pleased by these presents to grannt License to ______________ to fish wth the men and company belonging to a shippe or vessell called the _________________ being of the burthen of ________tonnes upon any of our coasts or seas of Great Brittania Ireland and the rest of our Islands ad[j]acent where finally [?] heretofore any Fishing hath bene [been]. And this our License to continue for one whole yeare from the date hereof....Charles was the second son of James VI of Scotland and Anne of Denmark born 19 Nov. 1600. When Elizabeth I died and James became King of England the sickly Charles was not considered strong enough for the journey to London. The following year he had become strong enough to join the family. Less than a decade later the stronger and older Henry died and Charles became heir apparent and acceded to the throne on the death of his father in 1625.An advocate as his father had been of the divine right of kings Charles had no use for Parliament. It led to numerous schemes to raise money without Parliament. One was a "Ship Tax " traditionally levied on coastal regions during war times. Were these passes part of a money-making venture? Or does the note in the second hand at the bottom hold a clue? It appears that a certain number of these licenses were promised to Spain. Possibly this came as part of the peace Charles eventually had to make with Spain.Charles continually came into conflict with Parliament eventually leading to Civil War. He was eventually captured and tried for treason (in this case using his power for personal gain rather than for the good of England). It also held him responsible for all civilian deaths and damages as a result of the war. While certainly not the first monarch to be overthrown Charles was the first to be tried and on 30 January 1649 executed publicly. There followed a decade of a Commonwealth before Charles' eldest son was restored to the monarchy as Charles II. Condition: Moderate toning professional repairs to bottom edge. Some water stains along top and bottom. Better than expected after 350 years.
