Oswald Tesimond (1563 – 23 August 1636) was a Jesuit born in either Northumberland or York〔Henry Hawkes Spinks, Jr ''The Gunpowder Plot and Lord Mounteagle's Letter'' Kessinger 1902〕 who, while not a direct conspirator, had some involvement in the Gunpowder Plot. He was educated in York, in the Royal School of William and Mary in the Horse Fayre,〔 which cost no money to attend. Guy Fawkes. Edward Oldcorne and brothers Christopher and John Wright were among Tesimond's classmates, all of whom would become involved in the Gunpowder Plot. Tesimond was entered into the Society of Jesus in 1584, but not before he left the English College in Rome, into which he had been first initiated; to leave the College and come into the Society, he required special permission from the cardinal protector (who was Giovanni Morone, at the time), which he successfully obtained. Later, among other things, Tesimond studied theology in Messina, where he afterwards taught philosophy. In November 1587, some time before he left on a mission to England, he was ordained, but the exact date is unknown. As part of this mission, he arrived at Gravesend on 9 March 1598. For eight years he then worked with Edward Oldcorne in Worcestershire and Warwickshire before he was professed of the Jesuits' four vows on 28 October 1603. He would later become somewhat involved in the Gunpowder Plot (see below). He effectively documented his experiences in a narrative which he wrote sometime after. He lived the later part of his life in various places, including Saint-Omer and Naples, where he died on 23 August 1636 at age 73. ==Gunpowder Plot== (詳細はRobert Catesby, someone who was deeply involved. Tesimond, after gaining the knowledge, proceeded to inform his Jesuit superior, Henry Garnet. He did this during confession, probably on or around 23 July 1605. With the knowledge he possessed, Tesimond and Garnet decided to give religious consolations to the conspirators. They both did this despite the nature of the plot, which involved treason; obviously, their choice of keeping their knowledge secret constituted a violation of the law. He gave these consolations on 6 November 1605〔 at Huddington, after they had returned from London. It was perhaps a result of this kindness to the conspirators on Tesimond's part that saw Thomas Wintour, at his later execution, clear all Jesuits (Tesimond specifically and most especially), from any involvement, and from any prior knowledge. 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「Oswald Tesimond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
