Robert Skinner bishop elect, of Bristol, lately fellow of Trin. coll, and chaplain in ord. to his majesty Ch. 1. was diplomated or actually created D. of D. by a diploma then dated under the seal of the university. The king, queen, and their respective courts having been entertained this year by the university on the 29th and 30th of August, it was his majesty’s pleasure upon his leaving the university, which was the Slst of the same month, that there should be a creation in several faculties. Whereupon the names of those that made sute to be actually created, being given into the hands of the chancellor by one of the secretaries of state, was a convocation celebrated on the same day in the afternoon, wherein were actually created two batchelors of arts, two batch, of law, five and forty masters of arts, ten batchelors of divinity, three doctors of civ. law, three doctors of physic, and one and twenty doc¬ tors of divinity. The names of some who were so created y are these. Batchelors of Arts. Frederick Sagittarie a German of Queen’s coll, son of Fred. Sag. of Heregord in the Palatinat.—He was after¬ wards created a doct. of phys. of this university, and prac¬ tised his faculty in Dorsetshire. John Kingsmyll of Trin. coll, son of sir Hen. Kings- myll of Sidmanton in Hampshire knight. Masters of Arts. Prince Rupert count palatine of the Rhyne and duke of Bavaria, second son of Frederick prince elector of the em¬ pire and king of Bohemia, by princess Elizabeth his wife, daughter of James I. king of England, was the first person that was actually created master of arts.—He was after¬ wards an heroic general under his uncle K. Ch. I. when the civil wars began in England, an. 1642, a knight of the Garter, earl of Holderness, and duke of Cumberland. He gave way to fate (after he had performed great exploits at sea against the Dutch) 29 Nov. 1682, aged 63 or there¬ abouts, and was buried in a vault on the South side of the chappel of K. Hen. VII. at Westminster, leaving then be¬ hind him a natural son usually called Dudley Rupert, begot¬ ten on the body of one of the daughters of Hen. Bard, vicount Bellomont : which Dudley, stiled in prince Rupert’s last will and test. Dudley Bard, was educated in grammar learning in Eaton school, being then a modest and meek- p69] temper’d youth, as was by all there observed. But he be¬ ing not much made for learning, was bred to arms, (I think under sir Jonas Moor) at the Tower, and after the prince’s death, went into the Palatinate to look after a legacy and a great house left him there, and in Germany, and was, as ’tis said, kindly received by the prince Palatine. Soon after going to the siege of Buda, he was kill’d in a despe¬ rate attempt made by some English gentlemen there, upon a breach made in the walls or fortifications of that city, in July or Aug. 1686. At which time his signal valour being expressed, tho’ scarce twenty years of age, his loss was much lamented. Pr. Rupert had also a natural daughter commonly called The Lady Ruperta, begotten, as I have been informed at the office of arms, on the body of one Mrs. Margaret Hewes. “ Under prince Rupert’s name are “ extant several letters, declarations, &c.” James Steuart duke of Lenox in Scotland, afterwards of Richmond in England, sometimes a student in Trim coll, in Cambridge.—He was slain in the battel at Keinton com¬ monly called Edghill fight 23 Oct. 1642, and was buried at the upper end of Ch. Ch. choire in Oxon. Will Seymour earl of Hertford.—He was afterwards duke of Somerset. See more among the batchelors of arts, under the year 1607- Rob. D’evereux earl of Essex, who in the year 1605 had been created M. of A. was now actually created again.—He was afterwards made lieutenant general of his majesty's
