Charles overcame the crisis.
By siding with the Tories.
He was helped.
by the exposure of a Whig assassination plot.
Which gave him legal grounds to have his opponents punished.
The King dissolved Parliament.
In sixteen eighty one.
ruling alone for the last four years of his reign.
And granted.
This might be seen as a step towards absolutism.
But
It could also be seen as a show of strength.
and centralized authority.
After a turbulent rain.
Full of ups and downs.
The king's time ended on a relative high note.
Charles had managed to restore peace.
and overcome several crises.
After inheriting
A deeply fractured kingdom.
