After the Duke's death, he served the Commonwealth of Florence; and on his decease the Florentines erected an equestrian marble statue to his memory as a testimony of their gratitude for his valour and services. He was the son of a tanner in Essex. Tailors were also instrumental in completing the ranks of the Fifteenth Hussars, when raised, as narrated at page 204. 752 684 683 678 656 89 253 74 56 567 159 567 154 539 516 511 480 458 421 4.20 406 404 399 360 358 349 326 318 607 596 585 298 294 284 280 279 266 253 228 211 57 82 70 81 189 180 54 250 26 68 68 18 54 87 53 34 40 33 20 16 41 43 18 52 36 30 55 16 31 15 568 520 530 505 434 301 472 268 315 336 204 459 333 291 30 21 19 11 3 235, 334 304 280 311 297 260 274 286 235 239 192 249 183 206 200 136 139 148 117 128 119 83 95 176 164 154 112 108 Those of Trades below 100 are not inserted. |
