Sir Arthur Gorges (c. 1569 – 10 October 1625), was a sea captain, poet, translator and courtier. ==Early life== He was born the son of Sir William Gorges of Charlton (Charlton in the parish of Wraxall, Somerset) and his wife Winifred Budockshede, heiress to the manor of Budockshede.〔Arthur Gorges' mother, before her marriage, was Winifred Budockshede, heiress to the manor of Budockshede. This appears to be the same place as St. Budeaux, where some of the Gorges family lived. 〕 Sir William Gorges died in Dec 1584, in the Tower of London: he was knighted in Ireland in 1579, Vice Admiral of the Fleet in 1580, and Constable of the Tower of London. Arthur Gorges' brother Tristram Gorges (circa 1562 - 8 May 1608, St. Budeaux, Devonshire, England) was entrusted by Sir Francis Drake with the custody of Don Pedro de Valdez who was captured in the fight with the Spanish Armada. He took Don Pedro to the Tower of London. The Gorges family in the Elizabethan era include Sir Ferdinando Gorges, founder of the Province of Maine, and Arthur Gorges' uncle, Sir Thomas Gorges of Longford Castle, married to Helena, Marchioness of Northampton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Gorges」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
