| Summary |
"Geschichte von England seit der Thronbesteigung Jakob's des Zweiten. Dritter Band" by Thomas Babington Macaulay is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book details the events in England following the ascension of James II to the throne, focusing particularly on the activities of various political factions and exiles during this tumultuous time. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the context surrounding the exiled Whigs who fled to the European mainland due to political persecution under King Charles II. These exiles, characterized by a mix of fervent ambition and flawed judgment, maintained correspondence with supporters back in England, revealing their unrealistic hopes and plans for rebellion against the monarchy. Notably, figures such as the Earl of Argyle and the Duke of Monmouth emerge, indicating a brewing conflict, as their preparations for an attempted return to power highlight the tensions between various factions within England at the time. This beginning sets the stage for the exploration of the broader political landscape and conflicts that defined an era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
