ParticipantThank you, but i’m housebound.
Horrifically, I did in fact desert to the King’s side, from Devereux’s regiment to Sir Bevill Grenvile’s! (Oh, horror!)

Not all bad news though. At least I signed up for the rebel side in the 1985 Monmouth re-enactment, and got kicked in the groin by a royalist colonel on Glastonbury Tor.
