It was when the general court of Connecticut formally received the Charter won from King Charles II of England by the diplomacy of Governor John Winthrop, Jr. 25 years later, with the succession of James II to the throne, Connecticut's troubles began. Sir Edmund Andros, his Majesty's agent, arrived in Hartford with an armed force to seize the Charter.
