Anthony Farmer
Anthony Farmer (born 1657[1]) was an Englishman nominated by King James II to the office of President of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1687.
Life
Farmer was admitted to
Catholicism and absolutism
.
One of those providing evidence against Farmer was
Magdalen Hall, Oxford (and later Dean of Bristol). In his testimony against Farmer, Levett disparaged Farmer's character and temperament, which Levett said caused Farmer to withdraw from one college and be transferred to another. "Frequent complaints were brought to me by some of the masters," stated Levett, "that he raised quarrels and differences among them; that he often occasioned disturbances, and was of a troublesome and unpeaceable humour."[4]
