    A Navy man

    One of the leading commanders in the Commonwealth navy, he continues on as a captain in the 1660s, holding four commands even though Edward Mountagu, Pepys’s patron, told Pepys he didn’t like him (11 April 1660).

    Mountagu gave Pepys’s brother-in-law, Balthasar St. Michel, a post with Stoakes on 6 April 1660.
