THE MONMOUTH REBELLION - The Tale of John Coad (part 3)

The Monmouth Rebellion saw the Duke of Monmouth invade England to usurp the throne from his uncle, the catholic James II. Monmouth gathered a large army about him as he moved up through the WestCountry. Local militia units were formed up to halt Monmouth's advance before the royal army could be mobilised. However, these militia units were of varying qualities. At Axminster, instead of standing and fighting, the Somerset Militia actually ran away. However, one of their men a certain John Coad deserted the king's cause to join the Duke of Monmouth. Coad would fight several battles under his new commander until finally wounded, captured, imprisoned and condemned by the terrifying Judge Jeffreys. In this video we follow John Coad as he is transported across the Atlantic to Jamaica to his new life as a slave. Our Youtube videos are just a small portion of what we do here. Our main business is visiting schools and societies and giving demonstrations on topics such as: the Elizabethan period, the Spanish Armada, the English Civil War, the Monmouth Rebellion and the First World War.
