Description:
|
This map was published in London in 1673 by Richard Blome, in an atlas called Britannia, or A Geographical Description of the Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland. It was engraved by R. Palmer based on the Mercator outline of Scotland of 1595. It is dedicated to James, Duke of Monmouth, illegitimate son of King Charles II. Monmouth must have seemed a useful patron. He had been appointed to the Privy Council in 1670, and in 1673 he was commanding the English troops in the Anglo- Dutch wars. After 1679, the map's dedication would have been less favourable as Monmouth became involved with those opposing the succession of James (II) as king after his brother Charles II. After an unsuccessful rebellion in 1685, Monmouth was executed.
