Robert Ferguson, The Plotter

Focusing on Robert Ferguson, a pivotal figure in the Rye-House Plot, this historical non-fiction examines his life as a Scottish political activist involved in a failed assassination attempt on King Charles II in 1683. The narrative delves into Ferguson's motivations, relationships with key conspirators like Lord William Russell and Algernon Sidney, and the broader political turmoil of late 17th-century England, characterized by monarchy-opposition tensions and religious strife. Through thorough research, the book illuminates a significant yet often overlooked moment in English history.
