CSP Dom
, vol. LXXXVI. Riordane’s statement is dated 19 December 1663, some weeks after the raid on Vevey, yet sets out what appears
to be a blueprint for the raid. Either the dating is incorrect, or Riordane is simply reporting back and laying out a further
plan, this time to abduct the regicides and take them to England. This seems the most likely conclusion as the raid in November
appeared to be focused solely on Ludlow, while in the report in December, Riordane speaks of the regicides in the plural.

As with any bibliography of works and sources relating to the seventeenth century, what follows hardly scratches the surface.
It is intended by way of a general list of some works of scholarship the authors found helpful – and in many cases invaluable
– and of a small number of key contemporary sources. For a fuller appreciation of the wide range of material consulted, the
reader must refer to the references in the text or to the chapter notes. As for the body of seventeenth-century material itself,
much of it is to be found in the British Library, with its wealth of data, including the Thomason Collection of Civil War
tracts; at the Bodleian Library in Oxford with the Burney Collection of early newspapers and pamphlets; and the vast collections
of the Public Record Office at Kew, where so much of British history resides, including Sir William Clarke’s state papers
and the Parliamentary Archives, to name but two.
