James II inherited a small but well organised regular army and a nationwide system of county militias when he came to the throne in 1685. However, he was a catholic and protestant politicians and exiles worked upon his bastard nephew, James Scott, Duke of Monmouth to invade and lead a rising in the West Country. At the Battle of Sedgemoor the professional royal army defeated the rebels despite being surprised in their tents at night. With more than 50 colour illustrations and line drawings, plus maps and charts, this volume provides details of weapons, uniforms, flags, organisation, strengths, battle orders and battlefield roles of the units that took part in the campaign known as The Monmouth Rebellion.
