He converts to Roman Catholicism on his deathbed and his brother James becomes King. The new King, a Roman Catholic, manages to calm all fears by expressing his undying support and protection of the Church of England, despite his personal beliefs. He writes to his son-in-law the Prince of Orange and asks him to expel from the Netherlands the Duke of Monmouth, the late King's illegitimate son who has his own aspirations to the throne. The new King also names Churchill a Baron of the English peerage. Monmouth lands in Dorset and proclaims his uncle James to be a Papist and a false King. He begins recruiting an army and with several of his supporters, declares war. King James II asks Churchill to lead an army against his nephew but decides to put someone in command above him when he is reminded that Churchill and Monmouth were once close friends. Brilliant General that he is, Churchill defeats him leaving Monmouth to beg King James and Queen Mary to spare his life. Sarah Churchill and Princess Anne continue their close friendship with the somewhat older Sarah taken to giving the young princess advice, which is generally well received.
