After the fall of James II of England, in 1688, Mather was among the leaders of the successful revolt against James's governor of the consolidated Dominion of New England, Sir Edmund Andros.

The ban was revoked in 1681 by the English-appointed governor Sir Edmund Andros, who also revoked a Puritan ban on festivities on Saturday nights.

The Suda is alone in claiming that Sappho was married to a " very wealthy man called Cercylas, who traded from Andros " and that he was Cleïs ' father.

Cair Andros was one of the two major crossing sites of the great river Anduin, the other being the fords in Osgiliath further south.

South of Osgiliath the river became too wide to cross, and north of Cair Andros the river turned into impassable marshlands where it was joined by the tributary river Entwash.

Thus, Cair Andros was of vital strategic importance during the centuries of conflict with Mordor to the east.

Cair Andros was used as a stronghold already at the time of the Kin-strife, and it was " fortified again " to defend Anórien after Ithilien fell to orcs of Mordor.

: The garrison at Cair Andros was maintained until the War of the Ring, but it was defeated and the isle overrun shortly before the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Final changes in the geography were caused by the intensification of the scene of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields: the distance between Osgiliath and Minas Tirith was reduced by four times ; the northern regions became guarded by " Tol Varad ( the Defended Isle )", later renamed Men Falros " place of foam-spray " and then Cair Andros ;< ref > the inhabitants of the newly introduced Drúadan Forest enabled the Rohirrim to pass freely to Minas Tirith ; and the hills of Emyn Arnen ( originally Haramon " southern hill ") justified creating a bend in Anduin so that the revelation of Aragorn and his reinforcements occurred closer to the battlefield, at the quays of Harlond ( at first Lonnath-ernin " Arnen-havens ").

In 1691, at the collapse of rule by Sir Edmund Andros and the reorganization of Massachusetts as a royal colony, Dukes County was transferred back to the Province of Massachusetts Bay, and split into the county of Dukes County, Massachusetts and Nantucket County, Massachusetts.

It was once thought that there was another Byzantine writer of the same name, Michael Psellos the Elder ( now also called Pseudo-Psellos ), who lived on the island of Andros in the 9th century, and who was a pupil of Photius and teacher of emperor Leo VI the Wise.

In the Hellenistic period, Andros was contended for as a frontier-post by the two naval powers of the Aegean Sea, Macedon and Ptolemaic Egypt.

Before falling under Turkish rule, Andros was from AD 1207 till 1566 governed by the families Zeno and Sommaripa under Venetian protection ( see: Duchy of the Archipelago ).

As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the regional unit Andros was created out of part of the former Cyclades Prefecture.

At the same reform, the current municipality Andros was created out of the 3 former municipalities:

The province of Andros () was one of the provinces of the Cyclades Prefecture.

According to the latest Greek census of 2001, the town of Andros still contained 1, 508 inhabitants, and the island's total was 10, 009.

The original 1629 Royal Charter of the Massachusetts Bay Colony was vacated in 1684, after which King James II installed Sir Edmund Andros as the Governor of the Dominion of New England.

Sir Edmund Andros ( 6 December 1637 – 24 February 1714 ) was an English colonial administrator in North America.

* 1689 – Bostonians rise up in rebellion against Sir Edmund Andros.

Citizens were jailed, but then Andros was recalled to England in 1689, and the new British sovereigns, William and Mary, issued colonists another charter.

Andros was arrested and sent back to England at the start of the Glorious Revolution in 1689.

In April 1689, when news arrived that King James had been overthrown in the Glorious Revolution, Bostonians overthrew their government and imprisoned dominion Governor Edmund Andros.

After the 1688 Glorious Revolution deposed James and brought William and Mary to the English throne, Massachusetts authorities conspired in April 1689 to have Andros arrested and sent back to England.

When word of the 1688 Glorious Revolution arrived in Massachusetts, a mob rose up and arrested Andros in April 1689.

In addition to his council duties, he negotiated with New York's Indians, and sat as chief judge in the trial of Jacob Leisler, who had led the rebellion that in 1689 overthrew Andros ' lieutenant governor, Francis Nicholson.

After news of the Glorious Revolution in England reached Boston in 1689, Puritans launched a revolt against Andros, arresting him and his officers.

Andros was overthrown in Boston two years later, in the 1689 Boston revolt.

Both his father and grandfather opposed the government formed after the overthrow of Edmund Andros, an early colonial governor in North America, and head of the short-lived Dominion of New England in 1689.

The idea of revolt against Andros arose as early as January 1689, before news of the December 1688 Glorious Revolution reached Boston.

When news of the imprisonment of Governor Sir Edmund Andros in Boston was received, the Leislerians took possession, on May 31, 1689, of Fort James ( at the southern end of Manhattan Island ), renamed it Fort William, and announced their determination to hold it until the arrival of a governor commissioned by the new sovereigns.

Phips returned to Boston in May 1689, carrying proclamations from the king and queen, to find that Andros had been arrested in a revolt in Boston.

On April 18, 1689 a mob formed in Boston and its leaders, former Massachusetts political figures, arrested Andros and other dominion officials.

Others make the point, however, that when taken in context with other rebellions in the same period — Bacon's Rebellion in 1676, the 1689 Boston revolt that deposed Andros, Culpeper's Rebellion in North Carolina in 1677, and the Protestant Rebellion against the Catholic-dominated government in Maryland in 1689 — Leisler's Rebellion follows a pattern.

When Andros was arrested in April 1689 in a bloodless uprising inspired by the 1688 Glorious Revolution in England, Stoughton was one of the signatories to the declaration of the revolt's ringleaders.

May is the hometown of one of the major characters of Stephen King's The Stand, the mentally retarded Tom Cullen, who meets the deaf-mute drifter Nick Andros after Cullen gets drunk and passes out in the middle of the road.

Due to economic developments taking place both within and outside the Ottoman empire, the 18th century witnessed the ascent of two merchant groups to prosperity: Albanian sailors of several Aegean islands, such as Hydra and Andros, became affluent maritime merchants and Rumeli muleteers of Slav, Greek and predominantly Vlach origins changed from muleteers and peddlers to independent merchants and bankers after the treaty of Passarowitz.

Charles II, after his restoration to the throne, specifically commended the Andros family for its support.

Possibly based on orders given to him during his visit to England, Andros began to assert New York authority over East Jersey after George Carteret's death in 1680.

Andros insisted they had no right to settle there without the duke's permission, but agreed to allow their settlement after they agreed to receive commissions falling under the authority of the New York gubernatorial administration.

Andros ' wife, who had joined him in Boston, died there in 1688 not long after her arrival.

Shortly after his arrival, Andros asked each of the Puritan churches in Boston if its meetinghouse could be used for services of the Church of England.

Since Andros ' commission included Connecticut, he asked Connecticut Governor Robert Treat to surrender the colonial charter not long after his arrival in Boston.

Governor Andros praised their industry and government, but after he read them his commission, he demanded their charter.

The Andros Barrier Reef is the world's third longest after Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the Central American Belize Barrier Reef, runs for 142 miles ( 225 km ) averaging a distance of only 1 – 2 miles from the Andros shore.

If all three main islands are included, Andros is the fifth largest island in the Indies, after Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.

Andros, who had fled to the safety of Castle Island, surrendered, and was eventually returned to England after several months in confinement.

The provisional government of Massachusetts established after the arrest of Andros was called on to respond to these raids, and in March 1690 Phips was appointed by the General Court to lead an expedition against the French in Acadia.

Shortly after grazing Andros Island, it turned sharply northward.
