I'll give you an e-mail addy too.
24 January 1679 was a good day for parliament as well. I tried the link but it didn't work but I did some sleuthing to find out about St.Francis.
Indeed ...the Merrie Monarch...
The link should open; it has a pop-up window so maybe it doesn't open if you refuse all pop-ups.
