Thomas Earl of Ossory: A Prominent Military and Naval Commander in Europe and Statesman of the 17th Century This portrait depicts Thomas Earl of Ossory (1634-1680), an accomplished military and naval commander, as well as a distinguished statesman, during the 17th century. Born into the noble Irish family of the Earls of Kildare and Ossory, Thomas played a significant role in European politics and warfare. Thomas' military career began in earnest when he joined the English army in the Netherlands during the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667). He proved himself to be a capable and effective commander, leading his troops with great success. In the following years, he continued to serve in various military campaigns across Europe, including the Franco-Dutch War (1672-1678), where he gained recognition for his strategic prowess and bravery. In addition to his military accomplishments, Thomas was also a skilled naval commander. He served as a Lord of the Admiralty and was instrumental in the planning and execution of several naval expeditions. His naval expertise was particularly valuable during the Third Anglo-Dutch War (1672-1674), where he played a crucial role in the Battle of Schooneveld. Thomas Earl of Ossory was not only a military and naval commander but also a statesman. He served as a Member of Parliament in the English and Irish parliaments and was a Privy Counsellor to King Charles II. His diplomatic skills and political acumen were invaluable in navigating the complex political landscape of the time. This portrait, featuring Thomas Earl of Ossory's autograph, is a testament to his remarkable military, naval, and political achievements. The image captures the intensity and determination of a man who played a significant role in European history during the 17th century.
