ROBERT TOLCARON, THOMAS KYRTON, SIR ROBERT PECKHAM, WILLIAM BROWNE, " POTENTATE TO THE POPE." IN a long list of English subjects abroad (P.R.O., S.P. Dom. Add. Eliz. xxvii. 11), printed in The Downside Review, xxxv. 71-5, which has been conjecturally dated April, 1580, mention is made of " Morgan Clynock, Gustos of the English Hospital " at Rome. " Morgan " is obviously a mistake ior " Morris," and this mention seems to put the document in the year 1578 (see 12 S. v. 161). Another official of the English Hospital whose name occurs in the list is " Rob. Tolkanen, rent-gatherer to the English Hos- pital." This would appear to be Robert Tolcaron, or Talcarne, a Cornishman, who was a Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, irom 1543 to 1551, and took the degree of M.A. in 1547/8. He was in Rome in 1564 (Cath. Rec. Soc. ii. 3) and was one of the executors of the will of Thomas Kyrton, together with Nicholas Morton (10 S. ii. 206) and William Giblett (10 S. vi. 189 ; 11 S. ii. 346). Thomas Kyrton was born at Gloucester in 1532, and went to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1547, where he became a Fellow in 1550, and M.A. in 1553. He was or- dained acolyte at Oxford in Sept., 1554, became a Fellow of Eton College in 1557/8, and was ejected Sept. 11, 1561. He sup- plicated for the degree of B.D. at Oxford in 1558/9. On leaving Eton he went to the English Hospice at Rome, where he was Warden from 1568 till his death, April 6, 1571. His executors erected a monument to him in the Church of San Tommaso degli Inglesi. He was one of the executors of the will of Sir Robert Peckham, Knight, of Buckinghamshire, a Privy Councillor under Queen Mary, who fled abroad at the accession of Queen Elizabeth, and, dying in Rome on Sept. 15, 1569, was buried in the Church of San Gregorio in Monte Celio. At the date of this list Charles Parker (12 S. vi. 39) was also living in Rome, as was one " Wm. Browne, my L. Montague's second brother's son." It is noted that " his father alloWeth him a pension, and had of the K. of Spain 100 crowns to bring him to Rome." The father in ques- tion would seem to be Charles Browne (12 S. iii. 418). The name Geo. Brom- browe would appear to conceal that of Edward Bromborough (10 S. vi. 189). There are two nephews of Dr. Owen Lewis
