Rye House plot, 1683. This quasi‐republican plot was directed against the persons if not the lives of Charles II and James, duke of York. Disclosed to the crown in June 1683, it would have involved intercepting the royal brothers at the Rye House (near Hoddesdon, Herts.) on their return from Newmarket. Charles II was relentless in upholding James's succession rights after
‘Exclusion's’ failure, and such opponents as
Russell and
Sidney suffered through a wide application of treason law.
