Samuel Shuteとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Samuel Shute (January 12, 1662 – April 15, 1742) was a military officer and royal governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. After serving in the Nine Years' War and the War of the Spanish Succession, he was appointed by King George I as governor of Massachusetts in 1716. His term was marked by numerous disagreements with the colonial legislature, and he returned to England in 1723 to lobby for a clarification of the governor's powers. Although his position was vindicated, he was not returned to the governorship, and remained in England. He remained politically influential with respect to Massachusetts politics, promoting the appointment of Jonathan Belcher to the governorship in 1730.
