In 1683, the most dangerous man in the world escaped from England to the Netherlands.
He didn’t look very formidable. He was 51 years old, lanky, and asthmatic. He had, according to one description, a “long face, large nose, full lips, and soft, melancholy eyes.”
Yet the King of England considered him one of his deadliest enemies. He was suspected of conspiring to assassinate the king.
But what really made this man a threat to the throne was not his skill in the lethal arts, but his genius in the literary arts. In his hand, the pen was truly mightier than the sword.
And he sailed out of England with a powerful weapon: one that would eventually overthrow, not just one monarch, but all of them.
