Thomas Ward (April 13, 1652 – 1708) was an English author who converted to Catholicism. ==Biography== Ward was born at Danby Castle near Guisborough in Yorkshire, in what is now Redcar and Cleveland, just south of the River Tees, in 1652, as the son of a farmer and educated as a Presbyterian at Pickering School. Henry Wharton asserted that he had been a Cambridge scholar, but this is not certain. Having acted for a time as private tutor, he was led by his theological studies to become a Catholic. He travelled in France and Italy, and for five or six years held a commission in the papal guard, seeing service against the Ottoman Turks. On the accession of James II Stuart in 1688 he returned to England and employed his learning in controversy. He died at St-Germain, France, 1708. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Ward (author)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
