John Jegon (1550 – 13 March 1618) was an English academic and Bishop of Norwich. He supported uniformity of Anglican doctrine and worship, and strong government.[1] This led him into conflict with John Robinson, later pastor to the Mayflower emigrants.[2] On the other hand, he made efforts to satisfy local Puritans by the appointment of preachers in his diocese.[3] Nicholas Bownd dedicated to him a work on doctrine of Sabbath.[4]
Education and academic career
He was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. and became a Fellow in 1572, and was then at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he became Master in 1590.[5][6] His pupils included both Roger Manners and Francis Manners, Earls of Rutland.[7]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". He had a long correspondence with their mother Elizabeth, widow of John Manners, 4th Earl of Rutland.[8]
He was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, from 1596 to 1598. As Vice-Chancellor he attempted to discipline John Rudd.[9]
Clerical career
He became Dean of Norwich in 1601, with the recommendation of John Whitgift.[10] Two years later he was appointed as Bishop there. He resided in Aylsham.[11]
Family
He married Dorothy, daughter of Richard Vaughan. On his death she married the diplomat Sir Charles Cornwallis.[12]
