Website asking a king’s ransom for a piece of Rhode Island history

[PeterK]

For more than a century, the Royal Charter of 1663, granting Rhode Island colonists religious freedom, has been displayed at the State House.

But another document, purportedly written 23 years later and offering the same privilege, is now exhibiting online — and selling for $1.5 million.

What say ye, Roger Williams?

The new document has some local historians poring over their parchments for any reference to this proclamation, which the seller says was given by King James II in 1686.
