Death of Michael Godfrey, first Deputy Governor of the recently founded Bank of England
Death of Michael Godfrey, first Deputy Governor of the recently founded Bank of England, on 17 July 1695, during the Siege of Namur (2 July to 4 September 1695, part of the Nine Years War), in the Spanish Netherlands (present-day Wallonia, Belgium). He was shot dead from Namur Castle while visiting the trenches with King William III (and probably not, as the illustration implies, taking part in any form of military action). Date: 1695
