Anthony Rudd (c.1549-1615) was an English bishop. ==Life== He graduated B.A. from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1567, and M.A. in 1570. He became Dean of Gloucester in 1584, and Bishop of St. David's in 1594. In 1596 he preached a celebrated sermon before Elizabeth I at Richmond Palace, in which he made extensive allusions to her approaching old age (she was 63 in 1596, and he made play of this as the astrology, on his text “O teach us to number our days”) and physical signs of it. Thomas Fuller in his ''Church History of Britain'' claims that this sermon, and a later one in 1602, offended the Queen, one of his sources being Sir John Harrington's account. Anecdotally John Whitgift is supposed to have led Rudd on to preach plainly, and Rudd lost the succession as Archbishop of Canterbury by so doing, but Whitgift survived Elizabeth in any case.〔James Doelman, ''King James I and the Religious Culture of England'' (2000), note p. 158.〕〔Thomas Fuller, ''The church history of Britain, from the birth of Jesus Christ until the year MDCXLVIII'' (1842 edition) vol. 3, p. 263, (online text )〕 He attended the Hampton Court Conference of 1604; he was sympathetic to Puritanism.〔Anthony Milton, ''Catholic and Reformed: The Roman and Protestant Churches in English Protestant Thought, 1600-1640'' (2002), p. 21.〕 He is buried in the church at Llangathen, where his wife erected a “bedstead” tomb.〔http://www.aberglasney.org/index.php?page=history_the_rudds〕 Rudd had acquired adjacent property at Aberglasney.〔http://www.acadat.com/HLC/HLCTowy/area/area192.htm〕〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/southwest/sites/local_history/pages/aberglasney.shtml〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthony Rudd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
