About Jane Brereton
- Nicholas Robinson (died 1585) was a Welsh bishop of Bangor.
- Born at Conwy in North Wales, he was the second son of John Robinson, by his wife Ellin, daughter of William Brickdale. He was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he matriculated in 1545 as a sizar, proceeded B.A. in 1548, and was a fellow from 1548 to 1563.[1] In 1551 he commenced M.A., was bursar of his own college in 1551-3, and a proctor in the university for 1552, dean of his college 1577-8, and vice-president of his college in 1561. Plays written by him were acted at Queens' College in 1550, 1552, and 1553, the last being a comedy entitled Strylius. In 1555 he subscribed the Roman Catholic articles. He was ordained at Bangor by William Glynn, first as acolyte and sub-dean on 12 March 1557, then deacon on the 13th, and priest on the 14th, under a special faculty from Cardinal Pole.
- On 20 December 1559 Matthew Parker licensed him to preach throughout his province, and he was then, or about that time, appointed one of his chaplains. He proceeded at Cambridge B.D. in 1560 and D.D. in 1566. A sermon preached by him at St. Paul's Cross in December 1561 was commended by Edmund Grindal. After this preferment came quickly. He was appointed on 13 December 1561 to the rectory of Shepperton in Middlesex; on 16 June 1562 to the archdeaconry of Merioneth; and on 26 August of the same year to the sinecure rectory of Northop in Flintshire. He also became rector of Witney in Oxfordshire. By right of his archdeaconry he sat in the convocation of 1562-3, when he subscribed the Thirty-nine Articles, and voted against the defeated proposal which was made for modification in rites and ceremonies. In 1564 he also subscribed the bishops' propositions concerning ecclesiastical dress, and wrote Tractatus de vestium usu in sacris. He was at Cambridge during Queen Elizabeth's visit in August 1564, and prepared an account of it in Latin; a similar account was written by him of the queen's visit to Oxford in 1566. He was one of the Lent preachers before the queen in 1565.
- Robinson was elected bishop of Bangor, in succession to Rowland Meyrick, after much deliberation on the part of the archbishop, under a license attested at Cambridge on 30 July 1566. He also held in commendam the archdeaconry of Merioneth, and the rectories of Witney, Northop, and Shepperton. The archdeaconry he resigned in 1573 in favour of his kinsman, Humphrey Robinson, but he took instead the archdeaconry of Anglesey, which he held until his death. He resigned Shepperton about November 1574.
- For the next few years Robinson acted against the non-Protestant customs in his diocese. On 7 October 1567 he wrote to Sir William Cecil, noticing the use of images, altars, pilgrimages, and vigils. On 23 April 1571 he was acting as one of the commissioners for ecclesiastical causes at Lambeth, and in the convocation held that year he subscribed the English translation of the Thirty-nine Articles and the book of Canons. About 1581 he was still suspected of Catholic tendencies; on 28 May 1582 he wrote two letters, one to Francis Walsingham and the other to Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, justifying himself.
- He died on 13 February 1585, and was buried on the 17th in Bangor Cathedral on the south side of the high altar. His effigy and arms were delineated in brass, but the figure had been removed at the time of Browne Willis's survey in 1720.
- Robinson made a collection on Welsh history, which was formerly preserved in the Hengwrt Library. He sent to Archbishop Parker a copy of part of Eadmer's history. He translated into Latin a life of Gruffydd ab Cynan from an old Welsh text at Gwydyr; the text and translation were edited by the Rev. Robert Williams for the Archaeologia Cambrensis for 1866. William Morgan, in the dedication of his Welsh version of the bible (published in 1588), acknowledges assistance from a bishop of Bangor, presumed to be Robinson.
- Robinson married Jane, daughter of Randal Brereton, by Mary, daughter of Sir William Griffith of Penrhyn[disambiguation needed], chamberlain of North Wales, and by her he had numerous sons, including Hugh, and William, his eldest, whose son was John Robinson (1617–1681) the royalist.

- PRICE, Arthur (c.1549-97), of Vaynor, Berriew, Mont.
- b. c.1549, 2nd s. of Matthew Price of Newtown by his 2nd w. Joan or Joyce, da. of Evan Gwyn of Mynachdy, Rad.; bro. of John II. m. (1) Bridget, da. of John Bourchier, 2nd Earl of Bath, at least 1s.; (2) c.1587, Jane, da. of Randle Brereton of Malpas, Cheshire, wid. of Dr. Nicholas Robinson, bp. of Bangor, 2s. 2da.1
- Offices Held
- J.p. Mont. from c.1575, sheriff 1577-8.2
- The Prices of Newtown were among the most ancient Montgomeryshire families. Arthur Price’s sister, Elizabeth, married the first gentleman of the county, Edward Herbert I, who frequently sat for Montgomeryshire. It must have been with Herbert’s goodwill that Price was returned for Montgomery Boroughs in 1571. In 1580 Price was arraigned in Star Chamber by Hywel ap David ap Ieuan Vychan or Vaughan on a charge of having abused his position as j.p. and his ‘great influence’ in the shire to seize houses and lands in the parish of Berriew (to which both litigants belonged) in face of the complainant’s clear title and hitherto undisturbed possession.3
- At the county election of 1588 Price evidently determined to test the extent of this ‘great influence’. He was opposed, however, by a faction which at first adopted as candidate Rowland Pugh, who withdrew and stood for the Boroughs, and then persuaded the veteran Edward Herbert I to emerge from retirement. There followed a violent election in which the sheriff, another son-in-law of Herbert, secured Herbert’s return. Price subsequently brought a Star Chamber suit against the sheriff, the issue of which is unknown.4
- Price died between 8 Aug. 1597, when he made his will, and 93 Sept., when it was proved. Some of his lands were already settled on his wife and elder son Edward. His younger son John was to have an annuity of £20 and a daughter, Elizabeth, the profits from lands mortgaged to Price in Llyvior and Doyriwe. The testator kept a ‘black book’ of debts owing to him; the will gives several entries from it, including £120 due from his son-in-law Griffith Pugh, and £20 from the head of the family, Arthur’s brother, John Price II of Newtown. The latter was to keep the £20 and a ‘standing cup’ which he had borrowed. The will also includes bequests of money to a number of servants, and of plate to various relatives. Price’s widow and son Edward were appointed executors and residuary legatees, and John Price and ‘my brother Thomas Brereton’ overseers.5
