This is the plaque dedicated to Nick Upton. Nick Upton was one of only a handful of knights left in the English langue in 1551. Most of the others left after England's break with Rome in the 1530s. By the time of the Great Siege of 1565 there was only one English knight left, and he was the secretary to Juan de Vallette, the Grand Master, and left a very detailed account of the siege. |
