English Captain: Richard Fogge

Richard Fogge served King Charles' navy and the Royalist naval forces. The first record of Richard Fogge has him as captain of the St. James prize. Apparently, this was one of the French ships captured at Rochelle. In 1633, he commanded the Tenth Whelp. In 1635, he commanded the Antelope. The next year, he commanded the Garland. In 1637, he commanded the Convertine. This was the former Destiny, Sir Walter Raleigh's ship. In 1638, he commanded the Happy Entrance. In 1639, he commanded the 2nd Rate James. From 1640-1641, he was back in command of the Garland. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he commanded the 2nd Rate Victory. From there, he commanded the Constant Reformation, which went over to the Royalists. In 1642, parliament ordered that Richard Fogge, and four other captains be removed from command, when the Earl of Warwick took command of the navy. They were accused of not surrendering their ships to the Earl, when commanded to do so. They were ordered to be arrested. Earlier in the year, parliament had approved of him. Sources:
