Thomas Louis
Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Louis, 1st Baronet (''bap.'' 11 May 1758 – 17 May 1807) was an officer of the British Royal Navy who served in three wars and saw numerous actions, notably as one of Horatio Nelson's "Band of Brothers" in the Mediterranean in 1798 who commanded ships at the Battle of the Nile. Louis had previously seen extensive action during the American Revolutionary War and later was to be second in command at the Battle of San Domingo, for which service he was made a baronet. He died of an unknown ailment aboard his flagship in Alexandria harbour in 1807 and was buried in Malta.
==Early career==
Thomas Louis was born in 1758 to John and Elizabeth Louis. John was a schoolmaster in Exeter, and family legend maintained that his grandfather had been an illegitimate son of King Louis XIV, although this cannot be verified.〔 Louis joined the Navy in 1769 aged eleven, and first went to sea aboard the sloop HMS ''Fly''. In 1771 he moved to the larger HMS ''Southampton'' and under her captain John MacBride he subsequently moved to first HMS ''Orpheus'' and subsequently the ship of the line HMS ''Kent''. In 1775 he gained his first experience of foreign service, joining HMS ''Martin'' on the Newfoundland Station.
