Hace 4 días · Vice Admiral Sir Christopher Myngs (sometimes spelled Mings, 1625–1666) was an English naval officer and privateer, most notably in the Colony of Jamaica. He came from a Norfolk family and was a relative of Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell. Samuel Pepys ' story of Myngs' humble birth, in explanation of his popularity, has now been evaluated by ...
MYNGS, Sir CHRISTOPHER (1625–1666), vice-admiral, is said by Pepys to have been of very humble origin, ‘his father being always, and at this day, a shoemaker, and his mother, a hoyman's daughter, of which he was used frequently to boast’ ( Diary, 13 June 1666; cf. 26 Oct. 1665). This is certainly exaggerated, if not entirely false.
