After a year and a half at the English court, he fought (1637-38) against
the imperialists during the Thirty Years' War. In 1648 he commanded the
portion of the English Fleet that remained loyal to the king during the
wars of the English Revolution, but in 1650 he was defeated by the
parliamentary admiral Robert Blake. After ten years in exile, Rupert
returned to England at the time of the Restoration. In 1670 he became one
of the founders of the Hudson's Bay Company, and part of the Canadian
territory was named Rupert's Land in his honor. In 1673 he sailed against
the Dutch as an admiral of the English Fleet. Rupert also conducted
scientific experiments and pursued the art of mezzotinting, at which he
distinguished himself.
