Henry Firebrace : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Firebrace Sir Henry Firebrace (c. 1619 - 1691) was a courtier to Charles I, serving during his conflicts with Parliament throughout the era of the English Civil Wars. He later served Charles II as a Clerk of the Green Cloth and was knighted about 1685. ==Early life== The Firebrace family are presumed to have been of Norman origin, the name being variously argued to mean "strong of arm" (fier-a-bras) 〔Burke's ''Genealogical and heraldic History of the extinct and dormant Baronetcies'', ''s.v.'' "Firebrace, of London" notes that in the Visitation of Leicestershire, 1682, the pedigree begins with Robert Firebrace, father of this Henry.〕 or more likely as a term of admiration for some feat of battle. It is unknown when they moved to England but the family eventually lived in Derbyshire, where Henry was born, the sixth son of Robert Firebrace of Derby and Susan Jerome of Kegworth, Leicestershire in 1619 or 1620.〔 He attended Repton School until the age of about 14, shortly after which his family moved to London, and Firebrace was apprenticed to a scrivener. In 1643, he was appointed secretary to Basil Feilding, 2nd Earl of Denbigh's council of war.〔
