Edward Boscawen (MP) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Edward Boscawen (1628–1685)
Edward Boscawen (1628 – 28 October 1685) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1659 and 1685. ==Origins== Boscawen was the son of Hugh Boscawen of Tregothnan, Cornwall by his wife Margaret Rolle, daughter of Robert Rolle (1560–1633) of Heanton Satchville, Petrockstowe, Devon. He was baptised on 21 November 1628. His brothers were Hugh Boscawen (1625–1701), MP, and Charles Boscawen (1627–1689), MP, both of whom also represented Cornish constituencies. The Boscawens are an ancient Cornish family. His father Hugh Boscawen (fl.1620) of Tregothnan was thirteenth in descent from a certain Henry de Boscawen.〔Foster,Joseph, Peerage, Baronetage and Knightage of the British Empire for 1882, London, 1882, p.273, quoted by Kain, Roger & Ravenhill, William, (eds.) Historical Atlas of South-West England, Exeter, 1999, p.293〕 He derived a huge income from his copper mines at Chacewater and Gwennap where he was the principal landowner.〔Kain, Roger & Ravenhill, William, (eds.) Historical Atlas of South-West England, Exeter, 1999, p.293〕 The Chacewater mine, now known as Wheal Busy, was located in what was known at one time as "the richest square mile on Earth". During its life it produced over 100,000 tons of copper ore, and 27,000 tons of arsenic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wheal Busy (Chacewater Mine) )〕
