James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth
by Sir Peter Lely 2
     James Scott, 1st and last Duke of Monmouth was born illegitimately on 9 March 1649 at Rotterdam, The Netherlands.1 He was the son of Charles II Stuart, King of Great Britain and Lucy Walter.1,5 He married Anne Scott, Countess of Buccleuch, daughter of Francis Scott, 2nd Earl of Buccleuch and Lady Margaret Leslie, on 20 April 1663 at Earl of Wemyss' house, London, England.1 He died on 15 July 1685 at age 36 at Tower Hill, The City, London, England, executed, for high treason.1
     James Scott, 1st and last Duke of Monmouth and Eleanor Needham were associated. He was baptised with the name of James Crofts.6 On before 14 February 1663 his name was legally changed to James Scott.1 He was created 1st Baron Scott of Tindall, Northumberland [England] on 14 February 1663.1 He was created 1st Earl of Doncaster, co. York [England] on 14 February 1663.1 He was created 1st Duke of Monmouth [England] on 14 February 1663.1 He was invested as a Knight, Order of the Garter (K.G.) on 28 March 1663.1 He succeeded to the title of 1st Lord Scott of Whitchester and Eskdale [Scotland] on 20 April 1663.1 He was created 1st Earl of Dalkeith [Scotland] on 20 April 1663.1 He was created 1st Duke of Buccleuch [Scotland] on 20 April 1663, with special remainder to the heirs of his body who succeed to the Earldom of Buccleuch.1 He was attainted and, and his English honours forfeited.1
     When the succession to the throne was raised, Charles II affirmed that he never married Lucy Walter and deprived the Duke of Monmouth of many of his posts. On the 11 June 1685, Monmouth landed at Lyme Regis in an attempt to sieze the throne. At Sedgemoor, north east of Taunton, Monmouth made an ill-advised attack against the Royalists and was defeated. He was captured in the New Forest a few days later, and executed in the Tower of London on July 15 1685.
