John Burgoyne, (1722–1792), British army officer and playwright, whose bold plan of invading the American colonies from Canada ended in his surrender at Saratoga, N. Y. Born in London in 1722, Burgoyne studied at Westminster School and joined the British Army in 1740. In 1743 he eloped with the 11th Earl of Derby's daughter, and they lived in France for several years to escape overwhelming debts.
