“...Upon information given to this House by Dr. Chamberlain, that there is a Trunk of Papers seized or secured, at a Coffee Man’s House in Swan’s Yard over against Somerset House, which may have Papers of dangerous Consequence in it.

It is Ordered by the Lords Spiritual & Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Trunk be forthwith brought before the Lords Committee appointed to examine Witnesses concerning the Murder of Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey; to be by their Lordships perused & an account given thereof to the House...

‘It is a pity,’ Mr. Phaire remarks, ‘that Sir Edmund’s letters, to the number of 104, are not in somebody’s hands that would oblige the world by publishing them. They contain many remarkable things, and the best and truest secret history in King Charles II.‘s reign.’

-Alexander Herbert Phaire “The Gentleman’s Magazine" 1744.

 

Mark Francis, bon-vivant, boulevardier, ex-KGB assassin and professional liar ("I'm a novelist - its what we do" he pleaded)

has uncovered Godfrey's legendary chest in a small shop off London's Portobello Road and is now able to reveal their contents to the World.
