Description
Excerpt from Henry, Duke of Grafton, 1663-1690: Vice-Admiral of England and Lieutenant of the Admiralty, Navies and Seas of England, Master of the Trinity House, Colonel of the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards
Contributors to the main stream of national story, annalists of some of its special aspects and contemporary letter writers in public and private correspondence have all noticed the Duke of Grafton, but to the bulk of those who have heard his name he is probably known through the medium of a popular book of reference as one who, after risking his life with great gallantry in a minor episode of Monmouth''s rebellion, was among the first to desert his royal master for the Prince of Orange, in whose service he was mortally wounded at the storming of Cork.
