Nathaniel Bacon (Virginia colonist and rebel)
Nathaniel Bacon (January 2, 1647 – October 26, 1676) was a colonist of the Virginia Colony, famous as the instigator of Bacon's Rebellion of 1676, which collapsed when Bacon himself died from fever.
==Early life and education==
Bacon was born on January 2, 1647 in Friston Hall in Suffolk, England to wealthy merchant parents Thomas Bacon and wife Elizabeth Brooke Bacon. Nathaniel was one of their many children and received an education at Cambridge University. He went on a grand tour of Europe under the tutelage of John Ray, as well as studying law at Gray's Inn. Nathaniel married Elizabeth Duke, the daughter of Sir Edward Duke, without permission. After accusations that Nathaniel cheated another young man of his inheritance, Thomas Bacon gave his son the considerable sum of £1,800 and the young man sailed into exile across the Atlantic.〔Alfred A. Cave, ''Lethal Encounters: Englishmen and Indians in Colonial Virginia'' (2011) University of Nebraska Press at p. 154〕
Upon arriving in Virginia, Nathaniel Bacon bought two frontier plantations on the James River. Since his cousin was a prominent militia colonel and friend of governor William Berkeley, Bacon settled in Jamestown, the capital. Soon Bacon was himself appointed to the governor's council. Berkeley's wife, Frances Culpeper, may also have been Bacon's cousin by marriage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bacon's Rebellion )〕
