Monmouth Rebellion
Over at the League of Augsburg's blog are some interesting 1685 photos. This also reminds me to remind you to watch the Walking Through History's England's Last Battle documentary - it was very good and will only be up on 4 on demand for a limited time.
Next year will be a big year for the Rebellion with a major reenactment by the Sealed Knot in July as well as other events by groups like the Taunton Garrison. Watch this space.Or join my Facebook group...

Support Jamie the Jacobite's 70 mile walk
Jamie is on his way! Pictured here at the start of his 70 mile walk, in
front of the plaque at St Ann's Church Manchester then beside a somewhat
unusually decorated car park on route.
Jamie hopes to complete the trek from Manchester to Derby and arrive at
Swarkstone Bridge on Saturday in time for the annual Charles Edwards
Stewart Society event commemorating the Jacobites arrival in Derby.
Along the way he is raising money for The RAINBOWS HOSPICE FOR CHILDREN
AND YOUNG PEOPLE based in Derby and FRANCIS HOUSE CHILDREN’S HOSPICE
based in Manchester.

New Civil War book
A brilliant young poet, leading a gallant band whose epic adventure ends
in defeat, betrayal and execution. Montrose was a doomed King's general
who dared to win - and lost it all.
The Scottish Royalist armed forces, along with its principal leader, the
Marquis of Montrose, have had a romantic veneer that has long obscured
their true composition and function. In this work, the author examines
the troops and their operational doctrines within the themes of the
early modern Military Revolution, and places the Scots Royalists within a
greater European context of development.
The book is enlivened by specially-commissioned colour uniform plates
based on the latest research, showing how Montrose's troops really
appeared on the battlefield.
