Abstract
Thomas Hobbes was born prematurely on April 5, 1588, when his mother heard of the coming invasion of the Spanish Armada. His father, also named Thomas Hobbes, was the vicar of Westport in Gloucestershire, England. After being involved in a fight with another clergyman outside his own church, the elder Thomas Hobbes was forced to flee to London, England, leaving his wife, two boys, and a girl behind.
“My mother gave birth to twins: myself and fear” (Thomas Hobbes)
