Grenville burns an Indian town - 1849 Vintage Images
Sir Richard Grenville (6 June 1542 – 10 September 1591) (sp. var: Greynvile, Greeneville or Greenfield) was an English sailor, sea captain and explorer. He took part in the early English attempts to settle the New World, and also participated in the fight against the Spanish Armada. He died in 1591 at the Battle of Flores, characteristically fighting against overwhelming odds, and refusing to surrender his ship to the far more numerous Spanish. He was the grandfather of Sir Richard Grenville, of English Civil War fame.(Wikipedia)
