Charles II Tangier Seventeenth Century Pepys

A study of the British colony in Tangier, and of its garrison of Irish and English soldiers. The chapter argues that the abandonment and demolition of Tangier in 1683-4 was not the result of the colony's unviability or indefensibility. Rather, it was a consequence of the need of Charles II and his brother James duke of York for a battle-hardened army to defend Stuart interests against their domestic political enemies.
