Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Penn The middle of the seventeenth century was a very exciting time in England. The Cavaliers of King Charles the First were fighting the Round-heads of Oliver Cromwell, and the whole country was divided into King´s men and Parliament´s men. On the side of Cromwell and the Parliament was Admiral William Penn, who had in 1646 been given command of a squadron of fighting ships with the title of Vice Admiral of Ireland, and who had proved to be an expert navigator and sea-fighter. He had married Margaret Jasper, the daughter of an English merchant who lived in Rotterdam, and when he went to sea, he left his wife and children in the pretty little English village of Wanstead, in the county of Essex.
