Giles Fletcher, the Elder

From there, Fletcher continued his education at King's College, Cambridge, where he was appointed a fellow in 1568 and gained his Bachelor of Arts in the academic year 1569–1570.

[1] Studying Greek and poetry, Fletcher contributed to the translation of several of Demosthenes' orations.

Continually rising within the academia, Fletcher rose to dean of arts, the highest position he was to attain at Kings, in 1580–1581.

In 1584, Fletcher was elected to the parliament which began on 23 November, for Winchelsea, one of the Cinque Ports.

[3][4][5] The treaty to be reestablished was primarily concerning the English trade, but before he departed Queen Elizabeth made him a Master of Requests.
