CHARLES II (1630-1685), King of England, Scotland and Ireland. Document signed (at head 'Charles R'), Whitehall, 16 November 1672, a pay order to Stephen Fox, Paymaster General, instructing him to pay Colonel John Russell £320-3-10 as the payment due to 'the Officers and Soldiers of Captaine Bevill Skelton's Company of Our Regiment of Foote Guards Commanded by the said Colonell Russell' from 28 September to 16 November, one page, folio (stained).
Charles's involvement on the French side in the war against the United Provinces in 1672-3 was to prove a significant drain on his exchequer, and was a major factor in his assenting to the oppressive Test Acts in return for parliamentary assent to taxation in the following year.
