		Monck was, however, soon taken prisoner, at Nantwich (1644), and spent the next two years in the Tower, where he found it difficult to live owing to his want of means.
		In February 1652 Monck left Scotland to recover his broken health at Bath, and in November of the same year he became an admiral, or rather a "general at sea", instead of a soldier in the First Anglo-Dutch War.
		On his return to shore Monck married Anne Clarges, a woman of "low extraction", often supposed to have been his mistress, "ever a plain homely dowdy", says Pepys, who, like other writers who mention her, is usually still less complimentary.
