Orator of the University of Oxford, who was secretary to the Earl of

the first county history attempted in England, died in 1601.

5. Mr. Broughton the Lawyer, _i.e._ Richard Broughton, Justice of North
Wales, called by Sir John Wynne, in the _History of the Gwedir Family_,
"the chief antiquary of England."

King-at-Arms, who was well skilled in antiquities, is perhaps intended.
He died in 1584, at eighty-one. Or more probably his son and successor,
Sir William Dethick, Knight, who was one of a select number of
antiquaries who entered into a society in 1593 (the cradle of the
present Society of Antiquaries). Sir William died in 1612.

London_; died in 1605.

person of these names is mentioned as of the city of Westminster in the
Elizabethan period, ancestor of the present family of Cliffe of
Bellevue, co. Wexford.
20. Thomas Talbot, "an excellent genealogist, and well skilled in the
antiquities of his country." Vide Wood's _Athenæ_, ed. Bliss, i. 265.

a work concerning _The Trueness of Christian Religion against Atheists,
&c._, began by Sir Philip Sidney, and also published other translations.
