Harvey, William (1578–1657). Physician. After Cambridge, Harvey went to the great medical school at Padua. Back in England, he settled down to successful practice in London, becoming physician to Charles I and a staunch royalist. The structure of the heart and vein valves convinced him that, contrary to received physiological opinion, blood must circulate round the body, rather than ebb and flow.
