About this ebook
This groundbreaking account of the seventeenth century battle sheds new light on the actions taken by commanders, including the future Duke of Marlborough.
On July 6th, 1685, royalist forces put an end to the Monmouth Rebellion at the Battle of Sedgemoor. For centuries, the official account of this battle reflected an unmitigated success for the victors. But the truth was far more dramatic, and at times tragic, as John Tincey demonstrates in this fascinating reassessment.
Tincey focuses on the confrontation between the Duke of Monmouth and John Churchill, the future Duke of Marlborough. In his graphic reassessment of the campaign, he retraces the routes taken by the opposing armies across the West County. In a fascinating new analysis of the campaign, he challenges some of the common assumptions about the actions of the commanders and the nature of the armies involved, and he includes a tour of the battlefield.
