Blythe is supposed to have been a nephew of

He was educated at Eton, and elected thence to King's College, Cambridge, in 1515 (B.A. 1520–1; M.A. 1523).[1] He became a prebendary of Lichfield in 1520, and was appointed master of King's Hall, Cambridge, in 1528, in which year he occurs as vicar of Chesterton, Cambridgeshire
.
In 1529 he commenced LL.D., and his grace for that degree states that he had studied at
All Saints', Cambridge, on 8 March 1541–2.[2]
