Two problems here - the Glorious Revolution can hardly have affected Benbow's childhood since it took place in 1688... and my history books tell me two captains were brought back to England and shot. Kirby and Wade if I remember right. Not one as stated. Hope this helps.--Boulet rouge (talk) 13:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
