Sir Joseph Jordan, (1603-1685) was a naval officer and admiral. From a Thames shipowning family, he is initially recorded as importing tobacco from Nevis and Barbados aboard the Amity. During the English Civil War, he served in the parliamentary navy commanding the merchantman Caesar in the summer guard of 1642; later that year he was recorded taking castles around the Isle of Wight. In 1643 he served as rear-admiral in the Irish guard and the following year was active off the Channel Islands and at the relief of Lyme Regis and, in 1645, the siege of Weymouth. He remained loyal to parliament during the 1648 naval revolt and in February 1649 signed remonstrance congratulating the army and the Commons for restoring liberty. Following a short period abroad, Jordan resumed his naval career in 1650, was a flag-officer in the First Anglo-Dutch War and a member of the expedition against Algiers and Tunis under Robert Blake in April 1655. He was brought into service again in 1664 and served as a flag-officer in the Second Anglo-Dutch War, 1665-7, knighted in 1665 after the Battle of Lowestoft; was rear-admiral of the Red squadron, with George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle, in the inconclusive Four Days Battle, June 1-4 1666, and vice-admiral of the Red at the victory in the St. James's Day Battle, 25 July 1666. In the Third Anglo-Dutch War, 1672-4., as vice-admiral of the Blue, he led the fleet into action in HMS Sovereign of the Seas, 100 guns, in the Battle of Solebay, 28th. May 1672. At the time it was alleged he had deliberately chosen to expose to danger Admiral Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich, HMS Royal James, who died in the battle, in order to protect the Duke of York, later James II of England.

Zuleika tries to stop Joseph leaving her bedchamber; at far left a turban and a pearl necklace on a table. An illustration from the Book of Genesis's account of Joseph. Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers, is taken to Egypt where he is sold to Potiphar as a household slave. Potiphar makes Joseph the head of his household, but Potiphar's wife Zuleika, furious at Joseph for resisting her attempts to seduce him into sleeping with her, accuses him falsely of attempting to rape her. Potiphar casts Joseph into prison, where he comes to the notice of Pharaoh through his ability to interpret the dreams of other prisoners. The story appears in the Koran also, where the name Zuleika is given. After the painting by Giovanni Biliverti (1585 - 1644) in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence.

Zuleika pulls at Joseph's cloak in an attempt to draw him towards the couch behind her to left, in a rich interior, she wearing a loose grecian gown with pearls in her hair. The story of Zuleika, wife of Potiphar, and Joseph appears in the Judaeo-Christian Old Testament and in the Koran. In the Old Testament she is described simply as Potiphar's wife, her name being given only in the Koran. Mezzotint after the fresco in the vault of the Vatican Loggie, part of the series known as 'Raphael's Bible' and probably taken from Marcantonio's engraving or another 17th century engraving of the scene. Published by John King (1698 - 1748; fl.), a large-scale printseller of the eighteenth century whose name and address at the Globe against the Church in the Poultry are found on many later re-issues of seventeenth-century engravings.

Joseph I (1714-1777) the Reformer, King of Portugal. His private life was aired by his wife, Spanish Infanta, Mariana Victoria of Spain, who did not like the King's affairs and only exposed them to acquaintances. He was devoted to the Church and opera, and assembled one of the greatest collections of operatic scores in Europe. With Joseph's ascent to the throne in 1750, he placed power in the hands of Sebastiao Jose de Carvalho e Melo, Marquis of Pombal, who sought to overhaul all aspects of economic, social and colonial policy to make Portugal a more efficient contender with other European powers.
