The Queen's Chaplain and a Professor of Sacred Letters. In 1548 he was Vicar of Caversham, and on 12th December 1549 became a Canon of Peterborough Cathedral. In 1553 he was Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University; he supported Lady Jane Grey, and was imprisoned in the Tower that year. Upon release he sought refuge in Augsburg and Frankfurt. After the death of Queen Mary he returned to England. In 1565 he was one of the translators of the Bishops' Bible, and took part in the translation of the Bible in 1572, his share being the Books of Hosea, Joel, and Maos through Malachi. Edwin was educated at St. Johns College, Cambridge University where he matriculated in 1533. In 1547 he was master of Catherine Hall. He was named Rector of the University in 1542, Master of St. Catherine's Hall in 1547. Upon the death of Edward VI, Edwin took a stand on the side of Protestantism, preaching a sermon before the University and the Duke of Northumberland which committed him publicly. The sermon was printed, Mary (a Catholic) was proclaimed Queen, and Sandys and was committed to the Tower of London on 25 July 1553. Finally obtaining release, he crossed to the Continent and joined the group of exiles who were to be the forerunners in England of the church puritans. At Zurich, to which he had gone following the death of his first wife and their only child at Strasbourg, he lived for a time in the house of Peter Martur. After Elizabeth's ascension in 1558, Edwin returned to England. He was made bishop of Worcester 21 December 1559 and in 1570 he was promoted to bishop of London. Edwin was consecrated the Archbishop of York on 8 March 1576/1577, in which office he was prominent in the ecclesiastical and political disputes of his era. === Birth === : Birth: :: Date: 9 Dec 1519 :: Place: Hawkshead, Furance Fells, Lancershire, England === Marriage === His first wife, Mary Sandys, and their son, died on the continent.
