First Danby ministry

First Danby ministry

The Danby Ministry was the name of the governmental body lead by the The Earl of Danby during the reign of Charles II. It was the successor of the Cabal Ministry which fell from power when the Catholicism of some members became a problem for parliament. As a consequence of this issue, the Danby ministry was traditionally associated with an Anglican policy in the Church of England and a pro-Dutch foreign policy.
