Christopher Monck, 2nd Duke of Albemarle (1653-1688), was an English nobleman, soldier, and colonial administrator. Born on August 14, 1653, he was the only son of George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle, a prominent military figure who played a key role in the Restoration of King Charles II. Christopher Monck inherited his father's titles and estates upon the latter's death in 1670, becoming the 2nd Duke of Albemarle at the age of 17.

Educated at Cambridge University, Monck was known for his flamboyant lifestyle and involvement in various courtly and military affairs. He served as a Member of Parliament for Devon from 1677 to 1679 and held several military positions, including Colonel of the King's Regiment of Foot. His tenure as a soldier was marked by his participation in the suppression of the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685, where he played a significant role in the Battle of Sedgemoor, the last pitched battle fought on English soil.

In addition to his military and political career, Monck was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica in 1687. His administration in Jamaica was short-lived, as he died on October 6, 1688, at the age of 35. His death marked the end of the direct male line of the Monck family, as he left no legitimate heirs.

Monck's life and career were characterized by his loyalty to the Crown and his active participation in the political and military affairs of his time. Despite his relatively short life, his contributions to the Restoration and his role in the colonial administration of Jamaica left a lasting impact on English history.
