Obscure Oxford Fellow Turned Catholic and Varied 17th Century Tales
A dated digest records Thomas Deane of University College Oxford, admitted 1659 at age 15, later joining the Roman Church in 1685, with prison imprisonments over religion. Also noted are ill conditions of the Earl of Egmont’s daughter at Charlton, legal oaths of Dr Molesworth for Minorca, a Shadwell assault case, a French ship tragedy near Park Gate, and sea captaincies in the fleet bound for winter stations.
