Henry Beeston

[1] William Beeston died in 1638, and Elizabeth remarried the priest and Arabic scholar James Lamb.

In May 1648, he was among the members of New College who refused to submit to the parliamentary visitation.

[9] After the Glorious Revolution of 1689, despite having previously compared James II to Apollo, he wrote a Latin tribute to William III (calling him "the true Apollo of the world, not he who pretends to be"),[10] and a long poem, The Queens Arrivall, celebrating Mary II.

[11] Beeston married Elizabeth, daughter of William Burt, his predecessor as headmaster of Thame and Winchester.
