The Monmouth Ash, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Monmouth Ash, 1850. Tree in Dorset where James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, is said to have hidden after the Battle of Sedgemoor in July 1685: An ash tree, at the foot of which the would-be King was found crouching in a ditch, and half hid under the fern...The pursuers sprang on their prey. Some of them were about to fire; but Portman forbad all violence. The prisoner's dress was that of a shepherd; his beard, prematurely grey, was of several days growth. He trembled greatly, and was unable to speak. Even those who had often seen him were at first in doubt whether this were the brilliant and graceful Monmouth...'. The tree was...deeply indented with the carved initials of crowds of persons who had been to visit it. The props were added, to save the trunk from falling, about three years since...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Monmouth Ash, 1850: A Tree Steeped in History and Legend This print depicts the Monmouth Ash, an ancient ash tree located in Dorset, England, where James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, is said to have hidden after the Battle of Sedgemoor in July 1685. The tree, deeply indented with the carved initials of countless visitors, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of this historic site. The Battle of Sedgemoor, a pivotal moment in the First English Civil War, saw Monmouth, the illegitimate son of King Charles II, leading a rebellion against his father's successor, King James II. After the rebellion's defeat, Monmouth attempted to escape and hide in the New Forest of Hampshire. According to legend, he was discovered at the foot of this very ash tree, disguised as a shepherd, with a prematurely grey beard and trembling with fear. Despite the pursuers' eagerness to apprehend their prey, they were restrained by Portman, who recognized Monmouth despite his disguise. The tree, which had been propped up to prevent it from falling around three years prior to this event, became a symbol of Monmouth's brief and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to claim the English throne. This image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the rich history and legends that surround this ancient ash tree. A popular tourist attraction, it continues to draw visitors from around the world, who come to pay their respects to this significant piece of British history.
