Spragge was of Irish military family, with a chequered early seafaring career. He may have been briefly a slave in Algiers, possibly served in Prince Rupert's royalist squadron, and certainly commanded a French privateer before commanding a royalist one, the 'Charles', which was taken by the Dutch in 1660.
