The Kentish Rebellion of 1648
Richard Hoborn was also mentioned as one of the Chatham Dockyard workers involved in the Kentish Rebellion of 1648, which was in opposition to the king, Charles I. During the affray "at Rochester the rebels set a guard on the bridge" and "armed the streets in a manner of a court of guard at every door." At the Dockyard, they secured possession of the king's ships, the Fellowship, the Sovereign and the Prince, removing the arms, ordnance, ammunition and victuals from them and confronting Commissioner Pett and his fellows.
