I created this article in response to a request at the DNB missing articles project.

The initial version is a direct copy of the article at Wikisource, stored here prior to any editing as a basis for comparison as wikification proceeds.

This guy is clearly notable, but I have not yet found many incoming links.

Mysterious Abbots

On the death of Sir Henry Savile, in February 1622, Prince Charles tried to secure Wake's election as warden of Merton; but he was beaten by (Sir) Nathaniel Brent, the influence of the Abbots, combined perhaps with Wake's constant absence from England, proving too strong.

Who were the Abbots ? Claverhouse (talk) 23:25, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT:

OK, looking up Sir Nathaniel, it says:

Soon after the close of his foreign tour Brent married Martha, the daughter and heiress of Robert Abbot, Bishop of Salisbury, and niece of George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Maybe this could be made clear on the page. Claverhouse (talk) 23:25, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
