six o'clock
We will not enter into the details of the numerous barbarities which were committed , nor will we give a prolonged account of Monmouth 's well-known fate . On leaving the battle-field , he was joined by Buise , who , was a German , Lord Grey , and a few other friends , among whom were Stephen Battiscombe and his brother . At Chedzoy he stopped a moment to mount a fresh horse , and then galloped on towards the English Channel . From the rising ground on the north of the fatal field he saw the last volley fired by his hapless followers , and before six o'clock he was twenty miles from Sedgemoor . Here he and his companions pulled rein , many of them advising him to seek refuge in Wales , but he fancied that he could more easily get across to Holland should he reach the New Forest , where , till he could find conveyance , he could hide in the cabins of the wood-cutters and deer-stealers who inhabited that part of the country . He , Lord Grey , and Buise consequently separated from the rest , who took different courses . He and his companions galloped on till they reached Cranbourne Chase , where their horses broke down .
