==History==
In the early seventeenth century, the endowment of Thomas Tesdale—a merchant from nearby Abingdon – and Richard Wightwick, the parish priest of Donnington, Shropshire – enabled the conversion of the Broadgates Hall, which had been a University hostel for law students since its construction in the fifteenth century, to form the basis of a fully-fledged college. The letters patent to found the college were signed by King James I in 1624, with the college being named after William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, Lord Chamberlain, Chancellor of the University, and rumoured patron of William Shakespeare.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History - Pembroke College, University of Oxford )〕
