Francis Hubert

Sir Francis Hubert (died 1629) was an English poet.

He is thought to have been the son of Edward Hubert, one of the six clerks in chancery.

Hubert, who appears to have been a member of the Middle Temple, was appointed clerk in chancery 9 March 1601.

A poem by Hubert entitled The Historie of Edward the Second, surnamed Carnarvon, one of our English Kings: together with the fatall Downfall of his two Vnfortunate Favorites, Gaveston and Spencer, was completed in the reign of Elizabeth I of England, but owing to the freedom with which it treated kings, favourites, and affairs of state, a license for its publication was refused.

The Historie of Joseph, divided into four parts … Together with Old Israels progresse into the land of Goshen,’ London, 1631.
