3. King Monmouth
Micah and Reuben set off on a dangerous journey to join Monmouth's rebel forces. Stars Martyn Read and Patrick Troughton.
Having set off on the dangerous ride to Taunton to join Monmouth's rebel forces, Micah and his friend Reuben have had many extraordinary encounters.
First with Sir Jacob Clancing who sends an enigmatic and ominous message to the Duke; then with the deceptively foppish Sir Gervas who joins their cause; and next with Mayor Timewell whose pretty daughter catches Reuben's eye.
Finally they come face to face with the great Monmouth himself.
