In no great time the Cavalier Governor conferred with Colonel Henry Norwood, one of the royalist refugees to Virginia.

Norwood thereupon sailed away upon a Dutch ship and came to Holland, where he found "his Majesty that now is." Here he knelt, and invited that same Majesty to visit his dominion of Virginia, and, if he liked it, there to rest, sovereign of the Virginian people.

But Charles still hoped to be sovereign in England and would not cross the seas.

He sent, however, to Sir William Berkeley a renewal of his Governor's commission, and appointed Norwood Treasurer of Virginia, and said, doubtless, many gay and pleasant things.
In Virginia there continued to appear from England adherents of the ancient regime.

Men, women, and children came until to a considerable degree the tone of society rang Cavalier.
