Robert Blake (admiral)
Robert Blake (27 September 1598 – 7 August 1657〔) was one of the most important military commanders of the Commonwealth of England and one of the most famous English admirals of the 17th century, whose successes have "never been excelled, not even by Nelson" according to one biographer.〔(Our Fighting Sea Men - page 22 ), Lional Yexley, Hazell Watson and Viney Ltd, published 1911]〕 Blake is recognised as the chief founder of England's naval supremacy,〔〔(Greenwich Pagent ), Hansard, 18 July 1933〕 a dominance subsequently inherited by the British Royal Navy〔(The First Defeat of its Lessons ), Colonist, Volume IV, Issue 425, 19 November 1861, Page 3〕 into the early 20th century. Despite this, due to deliberate attempts to expunge the Parliamentarians from history following the Restoration, Blake's achievements tend not to receive the full recognition that they deserve.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bridgwaterblakemuseum.org.uk/index_htm_files/Who%20Was%20Blake.pdf )〕
== Family and early life ==
Blake was one of thirteen siblings born to a merchant in Bridgwater, Somerset, where he attended Bridgwater Grammar School For Boys. After attending Wadham College, Oxford, he had hoped to follow an academic career, but failed to secure a fellowship to Merton College, probably because of his political and religious views (although it is said his height, 5 foot 6 inches, went against him).
After his departure from university in 1625, it is believed that Blake was engaged in trade, and a Dutch writer subsequently claimed that he had lived for 'five of six years' in Schiedam.〔 Having returned to Bridgwater, probably because of the death of his mother in 1638, he decided to stand for election to Parliament.
