They furnish a death-blow to incipient family records. Such a statement requires elu cidation. Some persons, falling into the opposite extreme to that complained of, - a feeling of shame and degradation at any connection with Mon mouth's Rebellion, -begin to be proud of any ancestor that was with the Duke, and are now beginning to set down, in family Bibles, incidents in the life of their forefathers connected with the campaign, the flight, and even at the execution. Some incorrect and confused accounts have been entered. In the church books of Dissenting Meeting-houses. These entries -might pass some years hence for facts, Whereas they are but stories gleaned from traditional accounts of old persons. Tradition, with respect to Monmouth's Rebellion, has become too much obscured to be relied upon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A superb biography, which paints a vivid picture of the times and of her subject' Daily Telegraph 'Fascinating, compelling, outrageous and ultimately tragic' Simon Sebag Montefiore 'It is the best royal biography I have read in years' A.N. Wilson From the Duff Cooper Prize-winning author of The Restless Republic, a remarkable biography of one of the most intriguing figures of the Restoration era. James, Duke of Monmouth, the favoured illegitimate son of Charles II, was born in exile the year his grandfather Charles I was executed and the English monarchy abolished. Abducted from his mother on his father's orders, he emerged from a childhood in the backstreets of Rotterdam to command the ballrooms of Paris, the brothels of Covent Garden and the battlefields of Flanders. Such was his appeal that when the monarchy itself came under threat, the cry was for Monmouth to succeed Charles II as king. He inspired both delight and disgust, adulation and abhorrence and, in time, love and loyalty. Louis XIV was his mentor, Nell Gwyn his protector, D'Artagnan his lieutenant, William of Orange his confidant, John Dryden his censor and John Locke his comrade. In The Last Royal Rebel, Anna Keay matches rigorous scholarship with a storyteller's gift to enrapturing effect. She paints a vivid portrait of the warm, courageous and handsome Duke of Monmouth, a man who by his own admission 'lived a very dissolute and irregular life', but who was ultimately prepared to risk everything for honour and justice. His story, culminating in his fateful invasion, provides a sweeping chronicle of the turbulent decades in which England as we know it was forged.

That said to the Duke of York that morning, that all that was done was but sham. The Duke of Monmouth made an entry on the following day, November 27. of evils in prospect. Several told him of the storm that was brewing. Rumsey was with the Duke of York, and was seen to come out crying, that he must accuse a man he loved." vantageous to his Majesty, have been described. Monmouth had now betrayed his associates, and had become an informer in order to purchase his safety and immunity from punishment. However criminal his conduct, certain terms had been made with him which were not observed. His submission had been made upon a promise that it should lead to nothing humiliating or dishonourable. Nothing could be more gracious than the personal deportment of the King; still he gave way to every measure that appeared likely to strengthen the government at Monmouth's expense. The King had truly met with the most undeserved treatment from the Duke of Monmouth, and probably felt justified in the conduct he pursued or fancied necessary in the ditficult position he was placed between Monmouth and his royal brother. In spite of the promises made to Monmouth by Halifax, an extraordinary council was holden the very next day after the Duke of Monmouth's surrender, November 26. at which his Majesty was pleased to declare that the Duke of Monmouth had shown himself very sensible of his crime in the late conspiracy--had made a full declaration of it--had expressed extraordinary penitence--had made a particular submission to his Royal Highness, at whose desire and entreaty he had granted him his pardon. More than all this, his Majesty was pleased to direct that the next Gazette should announce the above...
