Thomas Preston (writer)
Thomas Preston (1537 – 1598) was an English master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and possibly a dramatist.
==Life==
Preston was born at Simpson, Buckinghamshire, in 1537, and was educated at Eton and at King's College, Cambridge, where he was elected scholar, 16 Aug. 1553, and fellow, 18 Sept. 1556. He graduated B.A. in 1557 and M.A. in 1561. When Queen Elizabeth visited Cambridge in August 1564, he attracted the royal favor by his performance of a part in the tragedy of ''Dido'',〔See further ("Early English Tragedy: Introduction of ''intermedii''" ) in ''The Cambridge History of English and American Literature'' (1907-1921), vol. 5.〕 and by disputing in philosophy with Thomas Cartwright in the royal presence.〔Siobhan Keenan in Archer, Goldring, and Knight (eds.), ''The Progresses, Pageants, and Entertainments of Queen Elizabeth I'' (Oxford 2007), p. 92.〕 He also addressed the queen in a Latin oration on her departure, when she invited him to kiss her hand, and gave him a pension of 20''l.'' a year, with the title of "her scholar."〔John Strype, ''Annals''.〕 He served as proctor in the university in 1565. In 1572 he was directed by the authorities of his college to study civil law, and four years later proceeded to the degree of LL.D. In 1581 he resigned his fellowship. He seems to have joined the College of Advocates. In 1584 he was appointed master of Trinity Hall, and he served as vice-chancellor of the university in 1589-90.
Preston died on 1 June 1598, and was buried in the chapel of Trinity Hall. A monumental brass near the altar, placed there by his wife Alice, bears a Latin inscription〔See C.H. Cooper and T. Cooper, ''Athenae Cantabrigienses'' (1861), (vol. II, p. 248 ).〕 and a full-length effigy of him in the habit of a Cambridge doctor of laws.
