Map of England during the English Civil War in 1642. Then, as now, London was England's leading and capital city. London is located along the River Thames. England is bordered by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Irish Sea, Scotland, and Wales. The sites of important battles are marked on the map with crosses (such as Sedgemoor, Moor, and Edgehill).
The Battle of Sedgemoor, fought on July 6, 1685, was the final battle of the Monmouth Rebellion in England. It took place in Somerset and ended with the defeat of the Duke of Monmouth's rebel forces by King James II's royal army. This marked the last major battle fought on English soil. The aftermath included harsh reprisals, known as the "Bloody Assizes," led by Judge Jeffreys.
