James Duke of Monmouth rebelled against his Catholic uncle James II, raising a Protestant revolt in the west and unsuccessfully attempting to capture Bath. While withdrawing at nearby Norton St Philip, Monmouth ambushed and defeated his half-brother Henry Fitzroy Lord Grafton, who escaped after great gallantry. Monmouth was defeated ten days later at Sedgemoor.
