Declaration of Breda

The Declaration of Breda was a statement made by King Charles II of England in 1660, outlining his promises to restore stability and address grievances after a period of civil war and republican rule. It assured the people of fair treatment, religious tolerance, and the restoration of lost rights and properties. Essentially, it was Charles’s way of assuring the nation he would be a just and honorable ruler if restored to the throne, helping to gain support for the monarchy’s return and ending decades of conflict.
