Rye House Plot

Rye House Plot was an abortive conspiracy in 1683 to assassinate Charles II of England and his brother James, Duke of York, planned by Colonel Rumsey, Lieutenant-Colonel Walcot, the "plotter" Ferguson, and other reckless adherents of the Whig party. The conspirators were to conceal themselves at a farmhouse called Rye House, near Hertford, and to waylay the royal party returning from Newmarket. The plot miscarried owing to the king leaving Newmarket sooner than was expected. The chief conspirators were executed.
