The plot against Pepys / James Long and Ben Long.
Drawing on Pepys's own account, this tells the story of the imprisonment of Samuel Pepys in the Tower of London, charged with treason, in 1679. Then Secretary of the Admiralty, Pepys was said to have passed naval secrets to the French. Set against a fear of Catholic plots and a weakened monarchy, Pepys was incriminated by his political rivals and evidence provided by his accuser Colonel John Scott. Against the odds, Pepys successfully demonstrated that the charges were false and cleared his name. The text is supported by detailed notes and a bibliography.
