[volume 3]

CREATIONS BY CHARLES II.
1649–1685.

FIRST PART.
30 Jan. 1648/9 to 31 Dec. 1664.(^10a)

(^10a) The date of 31 Dec. 1664 has been arbitrarily selected as comprising (notwithstanding the chronological disparity of the division) an approximate half of the number of Baronetcies of the three Realms created between 30 Jan. 1648/9 (the death of Charles I) and 1 May 1707, the date of the Scotch Union, after which epoch the creation of Scotch Baronetcies ceased. The remaining portion (1 Jan. 1664/5 to 1 May 1707) will be contained in the next volume.

[Memorandum. The honours conferred by Charles II during the time (11 years and 4 months) that elapsed between the death of his father (30 Jan. 1648/9) and his own recognition (29 May 1660) as King, were, of course, not recognised by the Powers that then ruled the land. On and after the Restoration, 29 May 1660, these grants, however, which he began within a few months of his (theretofore unrecognised) accession to the Crown, became valid.]
