PRINCE RUPERT, COUNT PALATINE OF THE RHINE 

 (Engraving by Blodeling, after Sir Peter Lely) 



Prince Rupert as an Admiral showed most of the qualities and 

 faults that he had exhibited as a cavalry leader in the Civil War. 

 His life at sea is divided into his famous course as a corsair, not 

 far removed from piracy, and ius service as an Admiral after the 

 Restoration. The above portrait is from a contemporary print.
