Royal mandate to erase the name of John Locke from the students of Christ Church, Oxford, 1684, (1894). Locke was expelled from the college after he fell under suspicion of involvement in the Rye House Plot to depose and kill James II. Although there is little evidence to suggest his active involvement in the plot, Locke fled to the Netherlands for his own safety.
