Sixteen page manuscript, head of first page inscribed Phillipps Ms 21172, London, Superfine paper (watermarked 1810). Two manuscripts which give contrasting accounts of the unsuccessful English expedition to capture the French fortress city of Saint-Martin-de-Re on the Isle of Re in 1627. After three months of siege, Buckingham was forced to withdraw and suffered heavy losses. The first account gives the 'official view' portraying Buckingham as a brave and pious commander adored by his troops, who 'did ride in the foremost company with such a courageous spiritt wch did so encourage the soldiours that they wished for nothing so much as to have an encounter with the enemy to show their love to the generall'. The campaign had generated a great deal of propaganda at home and in response, alternative and more authentic accounts were written by officers at Re. The second manuscript criticises the route taken by Buckingham and his abusive and arrogant approach to his officers. Various encounters with the enemy are described, giving details of the number of men lost. (5)
