He was born at Northiam , in Sussex , and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford , where in 1612 he became a Fellow. In 1617 and 1621 the college allowed him to act as Chaplain to Sir John Digby , ambassador in Spain . In Madrid he preached a sermon that pleased Prince Charles, afterwards Charles I , and the latter on his accession appointed Frewen one of his Chaplains . In 1625 he became Canon of Canterbury Cathedral and Vice-President of Magdalen College, and in the following year he was elected President. He was Vice-Chancellor Of Oxford University in 1628 and 1629 , and again in 1638 and 1639 . It was mainly by his instrumentality that the University plate was sent to the king at York in 1642 . Two years later he was consecrated Bishop Of Lichfield And Coventry , and resigned his presidentship. Parliament declared his estates forfeited for Treason in 1652 , and Cromwell afterwards set a price on his head. The proclamations, however, designated him Stephen Frewen, and he was consequently able to escape into France . At the Restoration he reappeared in public, and in 1660 he was consecrated Archbishop Of York . In 1661 he acted as chairman of the Savoy Conference . |
