Commissioned by England's King Charles I and launched in 1637. The designs of the ornaments and bas-reliefs of the transom were by the famous Sir Anthony Van Dryck; the ornaments were carried out by the master sculptor of the King, Gerard Christmas. The gilding was so splendid that the Dutch seamen that often fought against the ship called her "Golden Devil". She was the first ship to use the 'royal' a sail hoisted above the topgallant masts. Undefeated in battle, she was destroyed by fire due to a careless overturned candle.
