Subject: RE: Mattie Groves - What year?
Pavane - that is interesting. The Royal Charles of course was originally the Naseby, the flag ship of the Protectorate's Navy: by all accounts it was a massive ship. Charles II was utterly humiliated when it was captured by the Dutch in the Medway in 1667. I wonder if an ballads were written about it?
