From the Rijksmuseum record
As a prince Charles was forced to live in exile for a long time because in England, his homeland, his father had been beheaded and the monarchy abolished. However, the monarchy was restored in 1660: the parliament in London summoned him to return as King Charles II. On this triumphal journey from Breda to London he stopped off in Rotterdam. We see him on the state yacht in the middle being honoured by many burghers and cannon salutes.
