A London ship, commanded by Richard Ingle, a Puritan and a staunch upholder of the cause of Parliament, arrived before St.Mary's, where he gave great offense by his blatant remarks about the King and Rupert, "that Prince Rogue." Though he was promptly arrested on the charge of treason, he managed to escape and soon left the loyal colony far astern.
In the meantime Leonard Calvert had come back to Maryland, where he found confusion and a growing heat and faction and side-taking of a bitter sort.

To add to the turmoil, William Claiborne, among whose dominant traits was an inability to recognize defeat, was making attempts upon Kent Island.

Calvert was not long at St.Mary's ere Ingle sailed in again with letters-of-marque from the Long Parliament.

Ingle and his men landed and quickly found out the Protestant moiety of the colonists.

There followed an actual insurrection, the Marylanders joining with Ingle and much aided by Claiborne, who now retook Kent Island.
