Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Most Celebrated British Admirals: Containing a Concise Account of the Characters, and an Accurate Detail of the Gallant Achievements, of the Most Distinguished Naval Heroes Tins gallant seamen was the second son of Thomas earl of Surrey, and afterwards duke of Norfolk. Owe have no certain account of the exact time of his birth. He began very early, however, to testify his inclina tion to the sea-service for in 1492, when he was a very young man, he went out in a eet commanded by sir Edward Poynings, with a view of acquiring skill in naval affairs, and in the art of war. The eet which Poynings commanded, consisting of twelve sail, was sent by lung Henry VII. To assist the duke of Burgundy against his rebellious subjects. In couse quence of this assistance from the king of England, the duke was enabled to regain possession of the town and port of Sluys, which had been seized by his enemies; and in the course of this expedition, our young and noble seaman gave proofs of extraordinary bravery, and had on that account the honour of knighthood conferred on him. He gave frequent instances of his courage during the same reign; and on the accession of Henry VIII. That monarch made ch0ice of him for his standard-bearer; which in those days was not only amark of particular favour, but of the highest confi dence and respect.

Download or read book Admiral of the Fleet Earl Beatty The Last Naval Hero written by Stephen Roskill and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Admiral Beatty was beyond doubt the best known fighting Admiral, perhaps the best known military leader, of the First World War. His conduct at Heligoland Bight and Dogger Bank, and later at Jutland, caught the public imagination, while his role as Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Fleet in taking into custody the German High Sea Fleet in November 1918 associated him with perhaps the most tangible symbol of the collapse of Germanys military might. He is probably remembered by most for his comment at Jutland that there seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today after two of his battlecruisers were sunk in quick succession.Stephen Roskills magnificent biography of Beatty explains so well why he has come to be seen as Britains last naval hero, an admiral in the mould of Nelson who won the unstinting devotion of all those who served with and under him. He came from an Anglo-Irish military family who exhibited the utmost gallantry on the field of battle with a corresponding recklessness in the hunting field, while he himself was extremely handsome and courageous and exuded charisma. His early promise led to fast promotion and he was to become the youngest Admiral since Nelson.But that is only one part of the story and there are aspects of his character that were not entirely admirable. There were, and still remain, questions over his handling of the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron at Jutland at which his highly aggressive approach was contrasted with the prudence of his commander, Sir John Jellicoe, and the later animosities between the Jellicoe and Beatty camps reflect poorly on Beatty himself. His turbulent marriage and his extra-marital liaisons were to be suppressed in his official biography but in some ways these aspects are as significant to our understanding of him as Nelson and Emma Hamiltons great affair is to our reading of the Napoleonic era at sea.Roskill deals with all these issues and in doing so brilliantly reassesses Beatty place in history. Access to new material at the time of writing allowed him to write a balanced and wholly credible account of an extraordinary life, and this wonderfully readable and intimate biography will appeal to a whole new generation of readers.
