Samuel Pepys (PEEPS, 23 February 1633 to May 1703) was a naval administrator of England and Member of Parliament who is most well known for his diary, but he was only a young man.
Pepys had no maritime experience, but he rose to be the Admiralty's Chief Secretary under both King Charles II and King James II through patronage, hard work, and his administrative skills.
Pepys' detailed personal diary, which was first published in the 19th century, is one of the key primary sources for the English Restoration period.
It's a mash-up of personal revelation and eyewitness accounts of significant events, including the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War, and London's Great Fire.
Early life
Pepys was born in Salisbury Court, London, on February 23, 1933, the son of John Pepys (1601–1680), a tailor, and Margaret Pepys (née Kite; died 1667), daughter of a Whitechapel butcher. In 1625, his great uncle, Talbot Pepys, was Recorder and briefly Member of Parliament (MP) for Cambridge. Sir Richard Pepys, his father's first cousin, was elected MP for Sudbury in 1640, was named Baron of the Exchequer on June 30th, and appointed Lord Chief Justice of Ireland on September 25th, 1655.
Pepys was the fifth of eleven children, but child mortality was high and he was the first survivor of the crisis. On March 3, 1633, he was baptized at St Bride's Church. Pepys did not spend all of his childhood in London; for a while, he was sent to live with nurse Goody Lawrence at Kingsland, just north of the city. Pepys attended Huntingdon Grammar School before being educated at St Paul's School, London, 1646-1650. In 1649, he attended Charles I's execution.
In 1650, he went to the University of Cambridge, receiving two exhibitions from St Paul's School (perhaps due to the reputation of George Downing, who was chairman of the judges and for whom he later worked at the Exchequer) and a Mercer's Grant. He was accepted as a sizar to Magdalene College in October; he arrived there in March 1651 and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1654.
He entered the household of one of his father's cousins, Sir Edward Montagu, who later became the 1st Earl of Sandwich, in 1654 or early in 1655.
Pepys married Elisabeth de St Michel, a descendant of French Huguenot immigrants, first in a religious service on October 10th and later in a civil service at St Margaret's, Westminster, on December 1st.
Pepys suffered from bladder stones in his urinary tract from a young age, a condition from which his mother and brother John also suffered. He was never without pain nor any other signs, including "blood in the urine" (haematuria). The condition was extremely ill by the time of his marriage.
Pepys decided to have surgery in 1657, not a quick option, as the procedure was known to be painful and risky. Nonetheless, Pepys retained surgeon Thomas Hollier and the operation was carried out in a bedroom in the home of Pepys' cousin Jane Turner on March 26, 1658. Pepys' stone was successfully removed from Pepys' stone, and he's decided to hold a commemoration of the operation, which he did for many years. Nevertheless, the operation had long-term consequences. Late in his life, the incision on his bladder burst opened again. The procedure may have made him sterile, but there are no concrete signs that he was hungry before the operation. Pepys moved to Axe Yard in mid-1658, near the new Downing Street. He served as a teller in the Exchequer under George Downing.
