 Secret treaty of Dover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Dover, also known as the Secret Treaty of Dover, was an offensive and defensive treaty between England and France signed at Dover.
In the treaty signed at Dover, Louis promised to provide Charles with ample funds (to free Charles from dependence on Parliament) and a force of 6,000 troops so that he could successfully convert England (and presumably Scotland) to Roman Catholicism.
Further, Charles was to abandon England's Triple Alliance with Sweden and the Netherlands in favour of assisting Louis in conquering the Dutch Republic.

With Buckingham a sharp rivalry sprang up, and they only combined forces when endeavouring to bring about some evil measure, such as the ruin of the great Ormonde, who was an opponent of their policy and their schemes.
But Arlington's support of the court policy was entirely subordinate to personal interests; and after the appointment of Clifford in November 1672 to the treasurership, his jealousy and mortification, together with his alarm at the violent opposition aroused in parliament, caused him to veer over to the other side.
He joined the Dutch party, and in order to make his peace with his new allies, disclosed the secret treaty of Dover to the staunch Protestants Ormonde and Shaftesbury.6 Arlington had, however, lost the confidence of all parties, and these efforts to procure support met with little success.
