			The Rye House Plot was just one of countless schemes and possibilities that the group of conspirators came up with. The reason for these plots were the king´s pro-roman catholic views and policies. The conspirators further wanted to secure the succession of James Scott, Duke of Monmouth, the illegitimate son of Charles II (The Reformation).

			The foiled assassination plot was discovered a few months later, in June 1683.

			Prominent figures in the plot were: the already mentioned Duke of Monmouth, James Scott, who would have usurped the throne; Lord William Russell; Lord William Howard; Arthur Capel, the Earl of Essex; Sir Thomas Armstrong; Robert Ferguson; and Algernon Sidney. Russell, Sidney, and Armstrong were beheaded; Capel was arrested, but died before punishment; the other conspirators were not punished (Tikkanen).
