## Image Caption
A 1905 oil on canvas painting by Edgar Bundy, 'The Morning of Sedgemoor'. The scene shows the poorly-equipped soldiers of the ramshackle army led by the Duke of Monmouth at the [battle](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/battle/) of Sedgemoor in July 1685. This battle, the main action of the [Monmouth Rebellion](https://www.worldhistory.org/Monmouth_Rebellion/), resulted in defeat for Monmouth and so ended his attempt to take the throne from [James II of England](https://www.worldhistory.org/James_II_of_England/).
