Richard Kirkby (c. 1658 – 16 April 1703) was an officer of the Royal Navy during the eighteenth century. He rose to the rank of Captain but was later tried at a court-martial for his conduct during the Action of August 1702, and being convicted of cowardice and disobedience was executed by firing squad. ==Family and early years== Kirkby was born the fourth child and second son of Richard Kirkby, a justice of the peace〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Benbow's Mutineers )〕 and Member of Parliament for Lancaster, and his second wife, Isabel, daughter of Sir William Hudleston of Cumberland. He joined the Royal Navy and passed his naval lieutenant's examination on 28 March 1689. He was then appointed as second lieutenant of HMS ''Advice''. He had powerful relatives, including Arthur Herbet and Sir John Lowther, the latter being one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. They secured a promotion to captain on 12 February 1690, with his first appointment being to the hired ship HMS ''Success''. He was sent as part of the fleet to capture St Kitts, returning to England in April 1692.
