Michael Roberts (died 3 May 1679) was Principal of Jesus College, Oxford, from 1648 to 1657.
Roberts came from the parish of Llanffinan in Anglesey, Wales, but his date of birth is uncertain.
He graduated with a BA from Trinity College, Dublin in 1620 (MA 1623) and was incorporated at Oxford and Cambridge in 1624.
[2] In 1648, during the Parliamentary visitation of the University of Oxford, Francis Mansell was ejected from his position as Principal.
The dormant Royalists among the Fellows looked upon him as a traitor to their cause; the Puritan faction deemed him a hypocrite.
