  • Sedgemoor 1685
    English Heritage Battlefield Report: Sedgemoor 1685 Sedgemoor (6 July 1685) Parishes: Chedzoy, Westonzoyland District: Sedgemoor County: Somerset Grid Ref: ST 352357 (centred on the battlefield monument) Historical Context The Monmouth Rebellion of June-July 1685 had its roots in the Exclusion Crisis of the late 1670s, when there had existed a popular movement to remove the Roman Catholic James, Duke of York, from the succession to the throne. A key figure in the agitation was James Scott, Duke of Monmouth. As King Charles II's eldest bastard son he stood to benefit if the Duke of York, the King's brother and legitimate heir, ceased to be next in line to the throne. Rumours began to circulate that King Charles had secretly married Monmouth’s mother which, since Monmouth was a protestant and, following his victory against rebels in Scotland at Bothwell Bridge (June 1679), immensely popular, people were more than willing to believe. Substituting the Duke of Monmouth for the Duke of York as King Charles's heir appeared a simple solution to the difficulties currently besetting the state. Indeed, so seductive was the message that Charles, who had a profound respect for the natural succession, more than once, early in 1680, felt it necessary to deny that he had ever married Monmouth's mother. In August 1680 Monmouth made a triumphal tour of the West, which at the time was likened to a Royal progress. The tour, however, was in many ways the high water mark of his success. During 1682 and 1683 he became involved in intrigues directed not only against the Duke of York but ultimately the King himself.
