Francis Bevans
Francis Bevans (1530 – 3 June 1602) was a Welsh lawyer who was Principal of Jesus College, Oxford, from 1586 to 1602.[1]
Life
Bevans was born in Carmarthen. He 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 Hereford, England, in 1602, the same year as Westfaling.[4]
