Restoration in the English colonies
The Restoration of the monarchy began in 1660 when the English, Scottish and Irish monarchies were all restored under Charles II after the republic that followed the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. The term ''Restoration'' may apply both to the actual event by which the monarchy was restored, and to the period immediately following the event.

Barbados, as a haven for refugees fleeing the English republic, had held for Charles II under Lord Willoughby until defeated by George Ayscue. When news reached Barbados of the King's restoration Thomas Modyford declared Barbados for the King in July 1660.〔Higham, C.S. ''The Development of the Leeward Islands under the Restoration 1660-1688'' (1921) p10〕 The planters however were not eager for the return of the former governor Lord Willoughby fearing disputes over titles but the King ordered he be restored.〔Higham, C.S. ''The Development of the Leeward Islands under the Restoration 1660-1688'' (1921) pp12-14〕
Jamaica had been a conquest of Oliver Cromwell's and Charles II's claim to the island was therefore questionable. However, Charles II chose not to restore Jamaica to Spain and in 1661 it became a British colony and the planters would claim that they held rights as Englishmen by the King's assumption of the dominion of Jamaica.〔Monteith, Kathleen and Richards,Glen (Editors) ''Jamaica in Slavery and Freedom: History, Heritage and Culture'' University of the West Indies Press (2001) pp36-39〕 The first governor was Lord Windsor. He was replaced in 1664 by Thomas Modyford who had been ousted from Barbados.
