The Calverts Restored  
Cecil Calvert regained control over Maryland in 1658 and dispatched his youngest brother, Philip Calvert, to oversee a new governor, Josiah Fendall. In 1660, Fendall proved unfaithful and led a failed revolt against the Calverts. Philip took charge as interim governor until the arrival the following year of Charles Calvert, Cecil's son and heir. The restoration in 1660 of King Charles II, king of England, reopened opportunity for the Calverts and helped bring stability to Maryland. From 1660 to nearly 1690, St. Mary's City prospered and expanded into a true colonial capital.
