A name that has been present in the British Isles from earliest times and now also popular much further afield, "Fox" resonates throughout the pages of the frequently turbulent historical record.
During the bitter and bloody seventeenth-century English Civil War, Sir Stephen Fox was a prominent Royalist and highly trusted aide to the exiled King Charles II, while the Fox family of Falmouth, Cornwall, boasted an impressive array of talent that included businessmen, scientists, inventors and writers.
In contemporary times, another Fox family is one that includes the award-winning actors James and Edward Fox and their offspring, while Michael J. Fox is the Canadian-American actor known for his role of Marty McFly in the Back to the Future film trilogy.
The stirring tales of the Foxes are presented here.
