William Alabaster
William Alabaster (also Alablaster, Arblastier) (27 February 1567 – buried 28 April 1640)〔(''New General Catalog of Old Books & Authors'' )〕 was an English poet, playwright, and religious writer. His surname is one of the many variants of "arbalester", a crossbowman.
He was born at Hadleigh, Suffolk, and educated at Westminster School, and Trinity College, Cambridge from 1583. His ''Roxana'', a Latin tragedy, was performed around 1592, and printed in 1632. ''Roxana'' is founded on the ''La Dalida'' (Venice, 1567) of Luigi Groto, known as Cieco di Hadria, and Hallam asserts that it is a plagiarism (''Literature of Europe'', iii.54). A surreptitious edition in 1632 was followed by an authorized version ''a plagiarii unguibus vindicata, aucta et agnita ab Authore, Gulielmo Alabastro''.
He became a Roman Catholic convert in Spain when on a diplomatic mission as chaplain. His religious beliefs led him to be imprisoned several times; eventually he gave up Catholicism, and was favoured by James I. He received a prebend in St Paul's Cathedral, London, and the living of Therfield, Hertfordshire. He died at Little Shelford, Cambridgeshire.
==Family==
He was the son of Roger Alabaster of the cloth merchant family from Hadleigh in Suffolk, by Bridget Winthrop of Groton, Suffolk, sister of Adam Winthrop(1548–1623) whose first wife (the marriage was short, she died three years later in child birth) was Alice Still, sister of John Still(d.1607/8), Bishop of Wells.〔Fuller; supported by Charles Camp, who traces the linage of the Winthrop family from 1498 forward 200 years〕 Adam Winthrop's son was John Winthrop(1587–1649), Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Another of William's uncles was John Cotta (1575–1650) the physician, married to another of Adam Winthrop's sisters.〔Winthrop family tree, Charles L. N. Camp; New Haven, Conn.〕
