*Thomas Hackwood, a tailor, in the time of Edward III., quitted his trade, and went a soldier into France, where he was knighted for his valour; whilst in Italy he gained the favour of the Duke of Milan, whose natural daughter he married. 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.
