In June 1693, just a year after the earthquake that destroyed Port Royal, a French fleet of over 20 ships and 1,500 men under Admiral Jean-Baptiste du Casse descended on Jamaica. The island was still reeling, its defenses in ruins, its militia depleted. But Governor Sir William Beeston and Colonel Peter Beckford mounted a desperate defense that turned back the French assault on Carlisle Bay and the Rio Cobre. This episode unpacks the forgotten invasion that nearly ended English rule in Jamaica, the role of Spanish Town as a last bastion, the du Casse's later career as a privateer and governor of Saint-Domingue, and the fragile alliance with the Maroons that helped repel the attack. Featuring the Jamaican militia, the Royal Navy's absence, and the legacy of the 1693 invasion in shaping Jamaica's military identity. #Jamaica1693 #FrenchInvasion #JeanBaptisteDuCasse #SirWilliamBeeston #PeterBeckford #CarlisleBay #SpanishTown #Maroons #CaribbeanHistory #ColonialJamaica #PortRoyalEarthquake #RioCobre #RoyalNavy #JamaicanMilitia #SaintDomingue #17thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
