Francis Bevans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francis Bevans (died 1602) was a lawyer and Principal of Jesus College, Oxford from 1586 to 1602.^[1] Bevans held the degree of LL.D.^[2]

Bevans was also chancellor to Herbert Westfaling, Bishop of Hereford, and so spent much of his time as Principal in Hereford.^[3] In his absence, Griffith Powell (who was to become Principal himself in 1613) effectively ran the college during much of the time that Bevan was Principal.^[4] Bevans died in 1602, the same year as Westfaling.^[3]
