About Giles Bland
Giles Bland was an English-born Virginia colonist during the 1670s. He was royal customs collector in the colony and an acting attorney for his family. His uncle was Theodorick Bland of Westover, which led to a drawn-out legal proceeding upon Theodorick's widow. An outspoken anti-authoritarian, Bland eventually rebelled against Governor William Berkeley and the Virginia General Assembly, joining Nathaniel Bacon in a revolt in 1676. He was captured and executed in 1677.
