'''The Rye House Plot''' of [[1683]] was a plan to assassinate King [[Charles II of England]] and his brother (and heir to the throne) [[James II of England|James, Duke of York]]. Historians vary in their assessment of the degree to which details of the conspiracy were finalized.

After the [[English Restoration|Restoration]] of the monarchy under Charles in [[1660]] there was concern among some members of Parliament, former republicans and the general [[Protestant]] population of [[England]]{{Fact|date=October 2008}} that the King's relationship with France under [[Louis XIV of France|Louis XIV]] and the other [[Catholic]] rulers of Europe was too close. Anti-Catholic sentiment, which associated Catholicism with absolutism, was widespread, and focused particular attention to the succession to the throne. While Charles was publicly [[Anglican]], he and his brother were known to have Catholic sympathies. These suspicions were confirmed in [[1673]] when James was discovered to have converted to Catholicism.

'''William DuVall''' (born [[September 6]], [[1967]], [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]) is the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of the band [[Comes With The Fall]] and is currently the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for [[Alice in Chains]].


==Biography==
In [[1681]], triggered by the opposition-invented [[Popish Plot]], the [[Exclusion Bill]] was introduced in the House of Commons, which would have excluded James from the succession. Charles outmanoeuvred his opponents and dissolved [[Oxford Parliament (1681)|Parliament]]. This left his opponents with no legal method of preventing James's succession, and rumours of plots and conspiracies abounded. With the "country party" in disarray, [[Anthony Ashley Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury|Lord Shaftesbury]], leader of the opposition to Charles's rule, fled to Holland where he soon died.
DuVall's music career started in the early 1980's [[Atlanta]] [[hardcore punk]] scene. William first performed with [[Awareness Void of Chaos]].


In 1983, William helped found the controversial [[Atlanta]]-based [[hardcore punk]] band, [[Neon Christ]]; contributing guitars and lyrics to the band's albums. [[Neon Christ]] had strong ties to [[hardcore punk|hardcore]] luminaries, [[Corrosion Of Conformity]] and [[Bl'ast]]. With a couple short East Coast tours and two albums, the politically-pointed band started gaining popularity. The band used its popularity to support many charitable causes including working to free [[Fela Anikulapo Kuti]].
[[Rye House]], a manor house in [[Hoddesdon]] in Hertfordshire, was owned by a well-known Republican, [[Richard Rumbold]]. The plan was to conceal a force of 100 men in the grounds of the house and ambush the King and the Duke on their way back to London from the horse races at [[Newmarket, England|Newmarket]].


The band disbanded in 1986, reuniting for a one-time show featuring the original members on December 24th, 2004. Currently, the members are said to be filming a documentary, which concluded with a February 2nd 2008 show at [[Lawrenceville]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]'s punk haunt [[The Treehouse]].
They were expected to make the journey on [[April 1]] [[1683]], but there was a great fire in Newmarket on [[March 22]], which destroyed half the town. The races were cancelled, and the King and the Duke returned to London early. As a result, the planned attack never took place.


After [[Neon Christ]] originally broke up, DuVall was briefly the second guitarist in the popular Northern California [[hardcore punk]] band, [[Bl'ast]], contributing a small bit of writing to their second album, [[It's In My Blood]], released on the influential [[hardcore punk]]/[[alternative rock|alternative]] label [[SST Records]], founded by Greg Ginn of [[hardcore punk]] band, [[Black Flag]]. DuVall did not, however, stay with the band long enough to record on the album.
News of the plot leaked and the plot was publicly discovered [[12 June]] [[1683]]; Charles and his supporters were quick to act: a royal declaration of the heinous nature of the plot was issued on 27 July.<ref>Milne 1951:95</ref>. Many well-known members of Parliament and noblemen of the "country party", which opposed the Court party and would soon be known as [[British Whig Party|Whigs]], were arrested. Although the principal conspirators were minor figures, the Whig leaders [[William Russell, Lord Russell|Lord William Russell]], a son of the Earl of Bedford, was convicted and executed, and [[Algernon Sidney]] was convicted on weaker evidence by [[George Jeffreys, 1st Baron Jeffreys|Judge Sir George Jeffreys]], brought in as Lord Chief Justice in September<ref>He replaced sir Francis Pemberton, dismissed after Russell's trial.</ref> and also executed. The [[Arthur Capell, 1st Earl of Essex|Earl of Essex]] committed suicide in the Tower of London. The [[James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth|Duke of Monmouth]], Charles' illegitimate son, was also implicated and obliged to retire to the [[Dutch Republic|United Provinces]]. A popular account of the plot was published in 1685 by T. Sprat, ''A True Account and Declaration of the Horrid Conspiracy against the Late King''.


DuVall spent the late 80s with a [[Jimi Hendrix]]-inspired band, "[[No Walls]]". They released one album.
Historians have suggested the story of the plot may have been largely manufactured by Charles or his supporters to allow the removal of most of his strongest political opponents. Richard Greaves cites as proof that there was a plot in 1683, the 1685 armed rebellions of the fugitive [[Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll|Earl of Argyll]] and Charles' Protestant bastard, [[James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth]] (Greaves 1992). Doreen Milne<ref>Milne 1951</ref> asserts that its importance lies less in what was actually plotted than in the public perception of it and the uses made of it by the government. The popular reaction to the Tories' reactive excesses led to the discontent expressed in the [[Glorious Revolution]] of 1688.


He also spent the late 80s in college earning a degree in [[philosophy]].
