While plundering a town in Southern Africa, England saw a beautiful woman by the name of Amy Brionso. He kidnapped her and kept her in his captain's quarters. England comforted her and she slowly began falling in love with him. Years later, the couple married and had a child they named John Edward England. Captain England, concerned for the safety of Amy and their child, left them on the eastern coast of Southern Africa. Before departing, England asked his wife to instruct their son to name his first-born son John, after himself, and expressed his wish that doing so would become family tradition.
