A man who carried the Exclusion Bill by hand faces a scaffold-how do you fall from that high in Restoration England?

The pamphlet Ketch published blaming him for moving that ended Russell's career

In this episode, we follow William Russell from a gentleman-turned-MP who watched before he spoke to the moment he knelt at Lincoln's Inn Fields. We trace his rise, his political choices against a secretive royal-French influence, and the meetings that pushed him from Parliament to a plot that would define his fate-what did Russell walk into?

Date: 21 July 1683; born 29 September 1639

- William Russell inherited responsibility unexpectedly after his elder brother Francis died and then entered Parliament in 1660.
- He waited fourteen years to make his first recorded speech on 22 January 1674 and then moved decisively against Catholic influence in court.
- Russell physically carried the Exclusion Bill into the House of Lords in November 1680 and watched it rejected before retiring to his estate.
- In October 1682 he attended an unrecorded meeting with Monmouth, Essex, Sidney, and others where stopping the king's procession at Rye House was discussed.
- At his execution on 21 July 1683 he paid Jack Ketch ten guineas, suffered multiple blows, and Ketch published a pamphlet blaming him for “moving.”
