Arrival of HMS Monmouth in Gibraltar 25 Nov 17
HMS Monmouth is the sixth Duke-class Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy. She is the seventh ship to bear the name and was launched by Lady Eaton in 1991, being commissioned two years later.
Affectionately known as The Black Duke, Monmouth is the only ship in service with the Royal Navy that has its name painted in black and flies a plain black flag in addition to the ensign. This is due to the dissolution of the title and the blacking out of the Coat of Arms of the Duke of Monmouth in 1685 following the Monmouth Rebellion against James II of England.

Tintern Abbey: Exploring Roger Bigod's Great Abbey Church in Tintern, Wales
We had thought we would have to skip Tintern Abbey to save time, but since we signed up for the Cadw Explorer Pass at Chepstow we got into Tintern Abbey free. How could we resist free? I don't remember why Tintern Abbey was on our list, but several de Clares and children of William Marshal are buried there.
Tintern Abbey is a fairly short drive from Chepstow. The abbey is located in the Wye River valley near the village of the same name. It was founded by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow, on 9 May 1131 on the Welsh side of the river. Little of the original buildings remain, though a concrete outline on the ground mark where it used to be. The monks of Tintern were Cistercian, or White Monks, of the Benedictine order. They lived an austere life and focused their work on agriculture.
The building complex of Tintern Abbey was built over a period of 400 years. Besides the usual cloister and monk's quarters it included an infirmary which treated the ill and injured from the surrounding area. During the 13th century, following a generous grant by Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk, the great church was built. Although work continued for decades, the church was first used in 1288 and consecrated in 1301. The stained glass of the East window contained Roger Bigod's coat of arms in thanks to him.
The remains of the great church are still seen today. It was built of Old Red Sandstone in the Gothic style popular in that day. Its color ranged from purple to buff and grey, though it was probably whitewashed. It is 228 feet long and 150 feet wide at the transept.
The abbey suffered a labor shortage after the Black Death devastated the country in 1349, and some of the church properties were destroyed during the Welsh uprising under Owain Glyndwr in the 15th century. The most damage was done after the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII. The church was surrendered to the king's visitors on 3 September 1536. The valuables were removed to the Royal Treasury and the building granted to the lord of Chepstow, Henry Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester. The lead from the roof was sold and the rest of the structure allowed to decay.
During the 17th and 18th centuries the ruins were used as housing by the workers at the local wireworks. However, in the 18th century interest in the romantic ruins in the wilds of the country increased, and the abbey became one of the stops on tours by boat along the Wye River which included Chepstow Castle. Tourists were captivated by the ivy-covered walls, and artists and poets made Tintern Abbey the object of their creative efforts. Access was made easier in 1829 when the Wye Valley turnpike was completed, and the Wye Valley Railway opened a station in Tintern in 1876.
The renewed interest in ruined abbeys as historic and architectural treasures led to the purchase of Tintern Abbey from the Duke of Beaufort in 1901, and restoration began in 1914. Cadw took over care of the abbey in 1984.
Burials at Tintern include:
Isabel (de Clare) Marshal
Gilbert fitzGilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Pembroke
Maud (Marshal) de Warenne
Eve (Aife or Aoife) MacMurrough
Sibilla (Marshal) de Ferrers

The Battlefield At Sedgemoor, Somerset, Visited 2011 By Sheila.wmv
The Battle of Sedgemoor, Westonzoyland in Somerset, 6th July 1685--a bloody battle and a bloody ending for the rebels--some of whom were hung on the spot or later imprisoned, deported to the colonies or other cruel fates including coming face to face with 'Bloody Judge Jefferies'at the 'Bloody Assizes'. Rebels were often hung from Pub signs where Courts/Trials were held all around Somerset.Many are still buried on the battle site--at the time of the battle a very boggy place.Relics and artefacts can be seen in the Bridgwater Blake Museum and Taunton Museum--skulls , Skeletons, weapons and more. It was a beautiful sunny day for my cycle around the Somerset moors stopping off at several churches, following at times the River Parrett and Bridgwater Canal--so much history all around.Further episodes follow this part of my cycle ride where I visit Middlezoy, Othery, Burrow Mump and other little hamlets on my circular cyle from Bridgwater.In the future I hope to cycle around the Polden hills visiting the villages and churches, visiting wildlife and reservation sites and soaking up the beauty of my 'Beautiful Somerset'.

Anne, Queen of Great Britain
Anne (6 February 1665 – 1 August 1714) became Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland on 8 March 1702. On 1 May 1707, under the Acts of Union, two of her realms, the kingdoms of England and Scotland, united as a single sovereign state, the Kingdom of Great Britain. She continued to reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death.
Anne was born in the reign of her uncle Charles II, who had no legitimate children. Her father, James, was first in line to the throne. His Catholicism was unpopular in England and on Charles's instructions Anne was raised as a Protestant. Three years after he succeeded Charles, James was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Anne's Protestant brother-in-law and cousin William III became joint monarch with his wife, Anne's elder sister Mary II. Although the sisters had been close, disagreements over Anne's finances, status and choice of acquaintances arose shortly after Mary's accession and they became estranged. William and Mary had no children. After Mary's death in 1694, William continued as sole monarch until he was succeeded by Anne upon his death in 1702.

HMS Iron Duke
Type 23 Frigate
HMS Monmouth
HMS Monmouth is a type 23 'Duke' class frigate of the Royal Navy. She is nicknamed 'The Black Duke' because she is the only RN ship that wears her name lettering and crest in black colouring. She also flies a black flag amid ships which can be clearly seen on this footage. The history behind this is that the ducal title of Monmouth was dissolved after the 1685 rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth against James II and the blacking out of the coat of arms.
ANNE, QUEEN of GREAT BRITAIN - WikiVidi Documentary
Anne became Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland on 8 March 1702. On 1 May 1707, under the Acts of Union, two of her realms, the kingdoms of England and Scotland, united as a single sovereign state known as Great Britain. She continued to reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death. Anne was born in the reign of her uncle Charles II, who had no legitimate children. Her father, James, was thus heir presumptive to the throne. His suspected Roman Catholicism was unpopular in England, and on Charles's instructions Anne and her elder sister, Mary, were raised as Anglicans. Three years after he succeeded Charles, James was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Anne's sister and Dutch Protestant brother-in-law and cousin William III of Orange became joint monarchs. Although the sisters had been close, disagreements over Anne's finances, status and choice of acquaintances arose shortly after Mary's accession and they became estranged. William and Mary had no children....

1764 Manual of Arms | Additional Manuevers
His Majesty's Tenth Regiment of Foot in America is a historically re-created infantry unit formed to portray the service of the British Army during the American War for Independence.
Composed of three types of soldier; Grenadiers, typically larger, more experienced men who were used as flanking or shock troops. A company of Light infantry, generally smaller, more agile men capable of maneuvering in the dense wilderness to skirmish or flank the enemy quickly on open ground. A Battalion, or hat Company, which is a company of regular soldiers capable of mass volleys that made up the centre core of the regiment. There is also a company of Music that provides entertainment during encampments, and beats commands to the army during the chaos of battle.
Finally, we have a Corps of Civilian Volunteers, who provide the food for the regiment during encampments.
Each section of the regiment is currently open for recruitment. The members of the Tenth are uniformed, equipped, and trained in 18th-century military drill and life so that we appear as the 10th Regiment would have in 1775.

Henry IV of England
Henry IV (15 April 1367 – 20 March 1413) was King of England and Lord of Ireland (1399–1413). He was the tenth King of England of the House of Plantagenet and also asserted his grandfather's claim to the title King of France. He was born at Bolingbroke Castle in Lincolnshire, hence his other name, Henry (of) Bolingbroke /ˈbɒlɪŋbrʊk/. His father, John of Gaunt, was the third son of Edward III, and enjoyed a position of considerable influence during much of the reign of Henry's cousin Richard II, whom Henry eventually deposed. Henry's mother was Blanche, heiress to the considerable Lancaster estates, and thus he became the first King of England from the Lancaster branch of the Plantagenets.
