[1] He was elected scholar of St John's College, Oxford, in 1580, and in due course became fellow.
He died on 17 July 1601, from a wound received at Benburb, County Tyrone, on the previous day,[5] and was buried in the church at Armagh.
[2] A monument was erected to Latewar's memory in St John's College chapel by his father; the date of his death is incorrectly given as 27 July.
The actual inscription is given in Anthony Wood's History and Antiquities of the University of Oxford, (p. 566, 1786 edition).
[7] Samuel Daniel speaks of him as his friend, and in the "Apology" to his Philotas mentions that Latewar told him that he himself "had written the same argument and caused it to be presented in St. John's College, Oxon., where, as I afterwards heard, it was worthily and with great applause performed.
"[2] Latewar contributed verses to the Oxford Exequi on Sir Philip Sidney, as well as to some other books.
