Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir Kenelm Digby: And George Digby, Earl of Bristol There are few personages in history who can boast of such varied attainments as the subject of this memoir, Sir Kenelm Digby, combining as he did the roles of Courtier, Naval Commander, Statesman, Philosopher and Scientist. He was the son of Sir Everard Digby, who came to such an untimely end on the scaffold for his complicity in the Gunpowder Plot; his mother was Mary, daughter and co-heiress of William Mulsho of Gothurst in Buckinghamshire. He was scarcely three years old when his father met his tragic end. The exact day of his birth has been the subject of much dispute amongst the various authorities - in all probability it was on the 11nth of June, 1603. Ben Johnson alluding in verse to Digby´s Naval Victory at Scanderoon, writes: "Witness thy action done at Scanderoon Upon thy birthday the eleventh of June."
