On this day in 1649 the Scottish parliament declared Charles, the son of the late King Charles I of England, to be King Charles II of England.  England, however, refused to recognize him as such.

Even Scotland was leery of Charles, who had attempted a failed invasion of Scotland and was not allowed to enter the country until he agreed to honor Presbyterianism.  Charles II did not become King of England until 1660, when the Restoration began.
