(who Fletcher appointed as Deputy Governor in his absence). Fletcher then dissolved the Assembly.

Eventually Penn was able to persuade King William to return the status quo in the colony of Pennsylvania (by promising to keep Fletcher's tax law and raising a militia) and Penn reassumed his role as Proprietor. Lloyd and Markham continued in their roles as Pennsylvania's political leaders (and render ineffective Fletcher's tax law) with Markham being appointed as Deputy Governor under Penn.
