Excerpt from The King's General in the West: The Life of Sir Richard Granville, Bart;, 1600-1659 The following account of Sir Richard Granville, who was the King's General in the West during the principal part of the Great Rebellion in the seventeenth century, has already to a large extent appeared in A History of the Granville Family which was privately printed by me in 1895, but it is hoped that this brief sketch of his life will reach a wider circle of readers and fill up a gap in modern studies of that interesting period of English history.
