Tangier was ceded by Portugal to England in 1661 as part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza, Charles II's Portuguese wife. From 1661 to 1684 it was under a British governor, who had legislative authority and was at the head of a military administration until 1668 when a charter of incorporation established an elective council, headed by a mayor and aldermen. The English left Tangier in 1684.
