Francis Bevans

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

Life

Bevans became a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford in 1573. He gained a B.C.L. in 1579, a Cambridge LL.B. in 1581, and an Oxford D.C.L. in 1583.^[2][3]

Bevans was Principal of New Inn Hall, Oxford in 1585-6, and Principal of Jesus College from 1586 to 1602.^[2] He was also chancellor to Herbert Westfaling, Bishop of Hereford, and so spent much of his time as Principal in Hereford.^[4] 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.^[5] Bevans died in 1602, the same year as Westfaling.^[4]
