JAMES SCOTT
1649 - 1685
 

James, also called James Fitzroy, was the son of Charles II and what he wanted was the throne. Which later caused tension with James II.

James was the Duke of Monmouth, the Duke Of Buccleuch, the Earl Of Doncaster, the Earl Of Dalkeith, the Baron Scott Of Tindale, and the Lord Scott Of Whitchester And Eskdale.

Among other battles, James fought at the Battle of Sedgemoor.
