Fenwick was a major-general who developed a powerful hatred for William of Orange during Fenwick's service in Holland. Undeterred by his first plot against Orange who became King William III, Fenwick continued to conspire with Robert Charnock and others. He was arrested in 1696, and beheaded for treason in early 1697, after the secret message to his wife, printed herewith, having been apprehended by the Crown, was found to be essentially a confession of his unfaithfulness.
