He is a Protestant, a brave rider and good at winning people's hearts. But behind his amiable attitude and commanding appearance, he is a negligent and hesitant person. The rebels are untrained and poorly equipped. There are only two officers in command of this team, one of whom killed the other in a duel. The failure of the rebels is self-evident The rebels were defeated in the decisive battle with the royal army. Monmouth Duke was captured and finally guillotined with many of his followers. Later, Protestantism became the main sect in England, and the new sect in power restored monmouth's title in order to praise his bravery. But as a rebel in the past, Monmouth Duke is also known as the "Black Duke", and the flag representing him is also a black flag. Today, the frigate "monmouth" named after him was chartered to fly the black flag.
