Subject: [DNA-R1B1C7] Plot-o-Mania: anti-Catholic legislation (the Test
Act).


c. 1662 Rumor concerning possible legitimation and insinuation into the
royal succession of Charles II's illegitimate son, James Scott, Duke of
Monmouth (1649-85). Monmouth is Absalom in Dryden's poem.
1670 Treaty of Dover between Charles II and Louis XIV of France; a secret
clause binds Charles to declare his Catholicism at an appropriate time, in
return for which Louis agrees to pay a subsidy to the English monarch.
(Charles never publicly fulfilled the terms of the clause.)
