	Prince Rupert of the Rhine - Biocrawler
		Rupert was born in Prague in 1619 at the time of the Thirty Years War.
		Rupert became General of the Horse, and his reputation prospered after routing a Parliamentarian force at Powick Bridge (23 September 1642); however he overextended himself at the Battle of Edgehill (23 October 1642) and left the Royalist forces unsupported by cavalry at a critical time which cost them the victory and led almost to defeat.
		Rupert became the first Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, which traded furs in Canada, and the territory of its immense trading monopoly gained the name Rupert's Land for him.

		PRINCE RUPERT, COUNT PALATINE OF THE RHINE AND Duke Of Bavaria (1619-1682), third son of the elector palatine and "winter king" of Bohemia, Frederick V., and of Elizabeth, daughter of James I.
		The prince's strategy was bold as well as skilful, as was shown both in the Royalist movements of 1644 which he proposed, and in the two far-ranging expeditions which he carried out for the relief of Newark and of York.
		But the prince again quarrelled with the council, and spent six years (1654-60) in Germany, during which period nothing is known of him, except that he vainly attempted (as also before and afterwards) to obtain the apanage to which as a younger son he was entitled from his brother the elector palatine.

		Rupert, newly created earl of Holderness and duke of Cumberland was sent to deal with the problem, incidentally exposing himself to threat from his enemies at court, who including the Queen.
		Rupert's plan appears to have been to provoke a Parliamentary attack, but as evening arrived, he seems to have decided that the chance for a battle that day was over, and allowed his men to break formation to eat.

		Prince Maurice then came into conflict with the Earl of Carnarvon, who left the Western Army after Prince Maurice's troops fell to plundering, which directly violated the articles of capitulation which the Earl had made with Dorchester, Weymouth and Portland for their surrender.
		Prince Maurice had successfully destroyed all the small craft in Lyme harbor, but the steepness of the cliffs prevented him from covering the harbor with his artillery, and because of this fresh supplies continued to reach the town through the port.
		Prince Maurice was perfectly capable of commanding a body of horse, such as that which formed the Royalist right wing at the battle of Naseby, however, had he been given that command Prince Rupert could have performed his job of General of the Army properly, rather than leading the right wing of horse himself.

		Highly intelligent, Rupert was reflective enough to appreciate this fact and often, during his long years of exile and service at the Restoration court, he revisited the events that had defined him and curtailed his ambitions.
		Rupert has been remarkably well served by biographers in recent years and it could be charged that this work, leaning more heavily than most upon Warburton's massive tomes, adds little that is fresh or original to our understanding.
		Moreover, after the Restoration, the prince unexpectedly became a national hero, championed by the people against the excesses and abuses of the court as an honest patriot who sought to preserve English freedoms in the face of Charles II's growing militarism and desire to emulate absolutist France.

		Rupert twice failed to break the blockade, which was finally raised after Blake sailed for Cádiz with 7 ships he captured as a result of a three-hour engagement with 23 ships of the Portuguese fleet, during which the Portuguese Vice-Admiral was also sunk.
		Two days later the other of Rupert's ships in the area were driven ashore attempting to escape from Cartagena, securing Parliamentarian supremacy at sea, and the recognition of the Parliamentary government by many European states.

		Prince Rupert of the Rhine (1619-1682), nephew of the ill-fated Charles I of England, was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lemgo in 1638 and confined at Lintz until 1641.
