John Evelyn wrote that he had an English mother and to be 'a handsome person, well featured and of a wise look, subtile and extremely civile'. He was also said to have married an English servant during his stay. The treaty that he negotiated was never ratified. In 1684 the English forces left Tangier, having destroyed the fortifications.
