James, Duke of Monmouth, was ridiculously handsome, the darling of the Restoration court, heroic soldier and a favourite with the ladies.  He had everything, where did he go wrong?  Our talk outlines Monmouth’s spectacular decline, the Battle of Sedgemoor and Monmouth’s brutal execution.  We also discuss the terrible retribution taken by King James II and his infamous judge, George Jeffreys, including the unjust way Alice Lisle from Ringwood was treated at their hands.
