Edward Harwood (English Army officer)
Sir Edward Harwood (1586?–1632) was an English army officer, known for his role as commander in fighting in the Netherlands, and for his religious views.
==Life==
He was born about 1586, in Norfolk, and had an extended military career, entering Dutch service at age 13, gaining a company after combat at the Siege of Ostend. He took part in the Sluis campaign in 1604 under Horace Vere and was ranked captain by 1606 after the siege of Rheinberg. He became colonel of an English regiment in the Netherlands in 1622/3, by purchase from Viscount L'Isle;〔Charles Dalton, ''Life and Times of General Sir Edward Cecil, Viscount Wimbledon'' vol. 2 (1885), pp. 15–6; (archive.org ).〕 and was then one of the four standing colonels in the Low Countries. He was shot at the siege of Maastricht in 1632. His brother George Harwood belonged to the Feoffees for Impropriations.
Harwood was known as a lay supporter of Puritanism. In Dutch affairs leading up to the Synod of Dort, and at that time lieutenant-colonel in Viscount L'Isle's regiment, he was briefing George Abbot. He intervened in 1622 to secure the appointment of William Ames at the University of Franeker; and he also supported John Burges. He was a significant international connection for Puritans.
Harwood signed the Second Virginia Charter of 1609. He was also involved in the Somers Isles Company, and was a charter member of the Providence Island Company.〔Karen Kupperman, ''Providence Island 1630 - 1641: The Other Puritan Colony'', Cambridge University Press, (1995), p. 358.〕
