Post Restoration[edit]

Currently the article says:

It lay dormant and unclaimed until the return of Duke of Monmouth, who led a rebellion and was captured at the Battle of Sedgemoor, and then beheaded on Tower Hill.

This claim does not seem credible. Lucy Walter had brothers who would have inherited the castle before her son. Beside the Duke of Monmouth had lived for many years in England after the Restoration in 1660 so why if he had a claim did he not present it long before the rebellion which occurred 25 years after the Restoration? -- PBS (talk) 11:12, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
