A letter from #JohnTillotson to prisoner #WilliamRussell #LordRussell, the day before his execution on 21 July 1683, due to his involvement in the #RyeHousePlot. Tillotson's words were of little comfort knowing that bungling #JackKetch was to perform the deed!

At a cancelled #Restoration360 last year I was to interview @quintonjournals & @saralread on #fiction set in the Restoration.
And I'm so glad Sara's talk includes the topic! Sounds like a must for #histfic writers; I'm going to learn plenty.

Having talked about posting more Restoration content, I've been shamefully quiet, sorry. But onwards and upwards.
I might do some polls on issues that divide opinion.
So let's start with more Monmouth.
In your opinion, was the Duke of Monmouth involved in the #RyeHousePlot?
For his 1685 coronation, James II chose the same date as his brother’s, 23rd April, with initial opposition quiet after the #RyeHousePlot had softened the nation to him a bit. And with his Protestant daughter Mary being heir, a Catholic sovereign seemed a temporary arrangement.
1683 was to be the year the King and Duke of York died, if the #RyeHousePlot had worked. Murder was set for 1 April as they travelled back from Newmarket races, but they left early and assassins missed their prey. 1 April…Almost like the Merry Monarch knew…
