John Palsgrave (c. 1485 – 1554) was a priest of Henry VIII of England's court. He is known as a tutor in the royal household, and as a textbook author. ==Life== It is believed that John Palsgrave, who spelled his name in a variety of ways including Pagrave, was the eldest son of Henry Pagrave of North Barningham, in Norfolk. After studying at Corpus Christi College Cambridge, B.A. 1504, he travelled to France to study in Paris where he qualified as M.A. He became tutor to Princess Mary Tudor in 1513, receiving the sum on £6-13s-4d per annum. When she married Louis XII of France, he accompanied her to Paris, but by 1516 he had moved to Louvain;〔(''Contemporaries of Erasmus'' )〕 Sir Thomas More wrote to Erasmus to recommend him to study law and classics there. In 1518 he was instituted to the benefices in Asfordby in Leicestershire, Alderton and Holbrook in Suffolk, and Keyston, Huntingdonshire.〔Gabriele Stein, (‘Palsgrave, John (d. 1554)’ ), ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004, accessed 21 Nov 2011〕 In 1525, he was appointed tutor to Henry's illegitimate son Henry Fitzroy;〔His mother was Ann Glemham, niece of Sir William Brandon and first cousin of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk. These links to members of the Royal Household may explain how he became tutor (and how his sister, Frances, was also employed by Mary Tudor who was briefly Queen of France and then Duchess of Suffolk). On the other hand Murphy, p. 53, attributes the appointment as tutor to the influence of Sir Richard Wingfield.〕 the programme of studies waa ambitious, following lines suggested by More, Stephen Gardiner and Thomas Elyot, and including music, visual aids and the company of William Parr and the younger brothers of the boy's mother Elizabeth Blount.〔Murphy, pp.73–74.〕 He was succeeded in the post by Richard Croke in 1526, for reasons that may include the hostility of Thomas Wolsey, who had earlier refused to appoint Palsgrave as Archdeacon of Derby.〔Murphy, pp.75–76.〕 His past connections meant that Palsgrave was called in by the Duke of Suffolk to write a pamphlet derogatory of Wolsey's career, in 1529.〔Eric Ives, ''The Live and Death of Queen Anne Boleyn'' (2005), p. 117.〕 He then continued private tutoring whilst working on his book. In 1533 he was ordained priest by Thomas Cranmer and instituted to the benefice of St Dunstan in the East. In 1545 he was presented to the living of Wadenhoe in Northamptonshire by Charles Blount, 5th Baron Mountjoy, one of his former pupils. 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「John Palsgrave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
