Has anyone information on Roger/Robert Angell who fought at the Battle of Bosworth. The following is an extract from a book called "Early Calne Men" which I found about 20 years ago. The piece really relates to the Brownes - who changed their name to Angell to inherit John Angell's fortune. The piece in question is as follows - "On 5.1.1692 another Benedict Browne, presumably a grandson of the Benedict already mentioned, married Frances Angell, granddaughter of John Angell, called the Caterer, of Crowhurst, Surrey, and a descendant of Roger Angell, a Swiss captain who took service under Henry VII and fought with great valour at the battle of Bosworth."
I find it hard to believe his name was Roger - not a name I've come across in the Angell family, especially as I have information from the College of Arms when he is mentioned in a five generation pedigree as "Robert Angell of Pecark in co. North'pt. He was a Captaine in the time of Henry 7".
