ParticipantThank you, but i’m housebound.
Horrifically, I did in fact desert to the King’s side, from Devereux’s regiment to Sir Bevill Grenvile’s! (Oh, horror!)
Yes, I had a pash for the three pretty sisters who ran the royalist regt, and preferred being with them to being with beer-bellied middle-aged roundheads.
Not all bad news though. At least I signed up for the rebel side in the 1985 Monmouth re-enactment, and got kicked in the groin by a royalist colonel on Glastonbury Tor.

ParticipantNo I do not. But if it gives you pleasure to say so, so be it.
The overthrow of Charles I. was an essential stage in the English bourgeois revolution. There, I said it, and I acknowledge it.
I still like him for his pluck, and I still oppose his execution.
There! 🙂Thomas_More
