De Ruyter was still a fighting admiral ten years after Medway. He fought in the Battle of Augusta (or Agosta) in 1677 while fighting the French to an inconclusive outcome, mainly due to his death after being hit by a cannonball. De Ruyter is considered one of the greatest admirals and tacticians of any era and any country. He is a national hero in the Netherlands. Since 1677, and to this day, the Dutch fleet's flagship has always been named the De Ruyter.

@TheHistoryGuyChannel As did Michael Palin and those of us who remember those ripping yarns of yesteryear.

@koekjekoekje2089 You, sir, are a complete moron. He was hit in the leg by cannonball, hardly a sure way to assassinate anyone. It took him a week to die after a raging infection from the leg amputation. Again, pretty hard to plan for as part of a plot. I have never read anywhere any serious research into such a preposterous idea. I'm going to assume you are a 14 year old who felt the need to practice typing when you dreamed that one up and leave it at that.
