Gustav Adolf Bergenroth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustav Adolf Bergenroth (February 26, 1813, Oletzko, East Prussia - February 13, 1869, Madrid) was a German historian. Bergenroth held a State office, but was dismissed and exiled because of his sympathy with the revolutionary movement of 1848. He came to England to collect materials for a history of the Tudors. He examined in Simancas, in Spain, under great privations, papers on the period in the public archives, made of these a collection and published it in 1862-1868, under the title of Calendar of Letters, Despatches, &c., relating to Negotiations between England and Spain.
