==Dukes of Monmouth== |
|||
This title was created in 1663 for [[James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth|James Crofts]], otherwise James Scott, the illegitimate son of [[Charles II of England|Charles II, King of England, Scots and Ireland]], and [[Lucy Walter]]. It was named after the [[Welsh Marches|marches]] town of [[Monmouth]] |
|||
===Holders=== |
|||
*[[James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth]] (9 April 1649, Rotterdam- 15 July 1685, London). |
|||
Soon after he was raised to the peerage, Monmouth married [[Anne Scott, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch|Anne Scott, 4th Countess of Buccleuch]], a wealthy heiress. He then changed his name to Scott. |

Under an act of [[James II of England|James II]], Monmouth was declared a traitor for his 1685 rebellion. He was stripped of his titles and executed. |
