Charles II married Catherine of Braganza in Portsmouth as well as making one of his mistresses, Louise de Kerouaille, the Duchess of Portsmouth. Louise was also granted the titles of Countess Petersfield and Baroness Fareham, both nearby towns. She granted the Corporation of Portsmouth two huge silver flagons, bearing the odd motto Loyalty Everywhere, in 1683. These remain in the possession of the City Council today.
