May 1660 CE

Fendall’s attempted revolution is easily frustrated, thanks to the fall of the Cromwell Government on May 29, 1660, and the return of Charles II (1630–1685) to England as King.

Lord Baltimore commissions his younger brother and Fendall’s former advisor, Philip Calvert (1626–1682), as Governor on June 24, 1660, and Charles II, commands "obedience to him".

The proprietor asks "that perfidious and perjured fellow, Fendall" to be arrested and forfeit his life.

However, the provincial court only issues an order to confiscate his estate and banish him from the province.

Subsequently, in response to a petition for mercy to the Governor and council, and although the Lord proprietor had specially given injunction not to allow him to escape with his life, he is pardoned, and his punishment reduced to disfranchisement and disqualification for office.
