Galloping

Abstract

"Galloping" is chapter eighteen in my biography of Thomas Wharton, 5th Baron, 1st Earl, and 1st Marquess of Wharton (Torn Wharton to most of political England and to his biographer). The chapter covers some crucial stages in the process by which James II committed political suicide, and it follows some important events in the fortunes of the Whartons. The time-span covered is roughly a year, from the spring of 1686 through January 1687, with brief glances at 1688 and 1705. The table of abbreviations and the short-title bibliography apply to the whole book, not merely this segment.
