Arthur Saul
Arthur Saul (died 1586) was an English
Marian exile and canon of Gloucester Cathedral.[1]
Life
Of Gloucestershire origin, Saul was admitted a demy of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1545. He graduated B.A. in 1546, and M.A. 1549. He was fellow of Magdalen probably from 1546 to 1553.[2]
In October 1553 Saul was expelled from Magdalen at Bishop
bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, to visit his diocese, and by Edmund Grindal in 1576 to visit the diocese of Gloucester.[2]
Saul died in 1586. The Jacobean chess-writer Arthur Saul was not his son, as has sometimes been claimed.[1]
