4. The Battle for the Crown
Micah is full of foreboding as he marches in the Duke of Monmouth’s rebel army. Stars Martyn Read and Patrick Troughton.
Micah twice narrowly escaped death.
Firstly at the hands of smugglers on his ride to Badminton to enlist the Duke of Beaufort to Monmouth's cause; and secondly at the hands of the choleric Duke himself!
But by strange circumstances, he found himself freed to rejoin the Duke's army and march on the cathedral city of Wells - with a heart heavy with foreboding.
