(George), a learned English antiquarian, flourished in the beginning of the 17th century. In the reign of king James I, he was made one of the gentlemen of his majesty's privy-chamber, and knighted: he was also constituted master of the revels. What he mostly distinguished himself by, was his writing, 1. The history of the reign of Richard III.; in which he takes great pains to wipe off the bloody stains that have blotted his character, and represents the person and actions of that prince in a much less odious light than other historians have done. He also wrote, 2. A treatise of the art of revels; and, 3. a work intitled The third universitie of England.
