Charles II (1630-1685) was King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 1660 until his death. Following the execution of Illiam Dhone (William Christian) by order of the 8th Earl of Derby in 1663, Charles II's Privy Council ruled that the Act of Indemnity extended to the Isle of Man, ordered the restitution of Christian's estate, and punished those responsible for the execution. His reign also saw the restoration of the Stanley family's lordship of Mann.
