Mathew Roydon
Mathew Roydon (sometimes spelled Matthew) (died 1622) was an English poet associated with the School of Night group of poets and writers.
==Life==
The ''Dictionary of National Biography'' identified him tentatively as the son of Owen Roydon who co-operated with Thomas Proctor in 1578 in the latter's ''Gorgious Gallery of Gallant Inventions''; and as the Mathew Royden who graduated M.A. at Oxford on 7 July 1580. He was soon afterwards a prominent figure in literary society in London, and knew the poets of the day, including Philip Sidney, Christopher Marlowe, Edmund Spenser, Thomas Lodge, and George Chapman.〔:s:Roydon, Matthew (DNB00)〕
Roydon fell in with Marlowe, and he, Thomas Harriot, and William Warner are mentioned among those companions of the dramatist who shared his freethinking.〔 Christopher Hill has suggested that Roydon may have been the author of ''Willobie His Avisa'' (1594), published by Henry Willobie (quite possibly pseudonymous but unidentified). The group round Marlowe, in his view, discussed religion, and besides Roydon included Harriot and Walter Warner.〔Christopher Hill, ''Intellectual Origins of the English Revolution'' (1965), p. 142-3.〕 It is not clear from the literature which Warner is meant.
In later life Roydon seems to have entered the service of Robert Radcliffe, 5th Earl of Sussex, a patron of men of letters. He was reduced to appeals for charity to Edward Alleyn.〔
