Monck's March - English Country Dance

George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle (6 December 1608 – 3 January 1670) was an English soldier, who fought on both sides during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. A prominent military figure under the Commonwealth, his support was crucial to the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, who rewarded him with the title Duke of Albemarle and other senior positions.

Performed by Morris On.

The painting is of the arrival of King Charles II at Dover on 25 May 1660, after the Restitution by Benjamin West.
