My father got permission from King Charles the first to go to Maryland, but sadly he passed away. Now it is up to my brother, Cecil and I.

I miss my brother. He governs from England as well. He believes that Roman Catholics and Protestant should be treated fairly. #equality

My brother Cecil gave me these instructions on how to govern Maryland. It includes the first elected assembly and a set of laws.
