	George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George was sent to Harrow, being appointed, on leaving, by warrant dated June 21, 1732, a volunteer on board Sunderland.
		Sir George struck his flag with a feeling of disappointment at not obtaining the governorship of Jamaica, and was shortly after forced to settle in Paris.
		Rodney was unquestionably a most able officer, but he was also vain, selfish and unscrupulous, both in seeking prize money, and in using his position to push the fortunes of his family, although such nepotism was common (not to say normal) at the time.
