Charles (Sewell) having already been declared King during his exile, had entered into negotiations to return to the throne following the death of Oliver Cromwell. This resulted in Charles signing the Declaration of Breda which allowed him to return as King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland; Defender of the Faith.
