Penrudduck Rising
The Scotch King’s Bloody Failure
The story of these events started the year before the uprising itself, when the great rising of ’55 was planned. However, the plot itself was first uncovered in December 1654, through intercepted correspondence between supporters of the Scotch King, as Charles II was then named, and fifth-monarchist in General Monck’s Scottish Army. After this the plot quick unravelled as each chain was split. This was even known in the King’s court, yet and the young Charles II, still ordered it to go ahead. This is the story of the rising; the men who risked and lost everything; and the bloody justice of the Commonwealth.
