The restoration of the king in 1660 put the Catholics in high hope that they would be reinstated in their lands : for they had fought and suffered for Charles and his father.
Broghill was made earl of Ossory and Coote earl of Mountrath; and these two enemies of the Catholics and of the king were also made two of the three lords justices : Sir Maurice Eustace lord chancellor being the third.

Lord Falmouth began to be affected for her disgrace, and to relent that he had been concerned in it, when the Duke of York told him and the Earl of Ossory to meet him in about an hour's time at the chancellor's.
