AFTER SEDGEMOOR: 1685

 

When James II became king in 1685,

the Duke of Monmouth,

who thought he had a better title to the crown,

landed at Lyme and raised the West Country in rebellion.

But Parliament proceeded against him by Act of Attainder

and the King himself led an army into the West to subdue him.

 

While James II’s forces lay camped on Sedgemoor in Somerset,

Monmouth attempted a surprise but failed.

His untrained men fought bravely,

but soon were forced to flee,

and seek safe hiding-places from their pursuers.

 

The Picture shows one of the fugitives

in his hiding-place in the barn of sympathisers with Monmouth’s cause.

The lady of the house in binding up his wounds,

her daughter looks sympathetically at the wounded man,

holding his hand the while,

and the farm boy in smock frock holds water in a basin,

for washing the wound.

Notice the inside of the barn and the great wooden beams

supporting the roof. 

 

This beautiful ANTIQUE FINE PRINT will look good FRAMED. 

 

Can be used as a TASTEFUL DECOR or

as a teaching aid in FINE ARTS SCHOOL.
