Monmouth, James Scott, Duke of
Monmouth, James Scott, Duke of (1649–85) English noble, illegitimate son of
Charles II. As captain general, Monmouth defeated the Scots at Bothwell Bridge (1679). Allied with the Earl of
Shaftesbury, he became leader of the Protestant opposition to the succession of the Duke of York (later
James II). The discovery of a plot (1683) forced Monmouth into exile in Holland. Upon James' accession (1685), he launched a rebellion. Despite initial success, Monmouth lacked the support of the nobility and was defeated by the Duke of
Marlborough at the Battle of Sedgemoor. He was executed.
