Description
This book charts the life and times of Captain William Adams who lived in the period of 1564 to 1620. Adam himself wrote little; his letters and logs, while vivid and valuable, would convey too little about the eventful years between 1600 and 1620 on their own. Other sources, such as thevarious writings of other Europeans in Japan, complete the tale. Including mentions of significant historical events, for example in 1588 William Adams commands a supply ship, the 'Richard Dygylde', at the time of Philip II of Spain's attempted invasion of England, the Enterprise of England (the Spanish Armada) and in 1600 The first Dutch ship (Liefde) arrives in Japan. William Adams is taken before Tokugawa Leyasu and questioned;he explains that Holland and England are at war with Spain and Portugal. Leyasu declines the Portuguese suggestion that he execute the Liefde's crew.
