Autorenporträt
Born around 1510, William Patten was a government official, author, and scholar during the reigns of King Edward VI and Queen Elizabeth I. He was the son of Richard Patten, a clothworker, and Grace, the daughter of John Baskerville. Patten's grandfather was Richard Patten of Boslow, Derbyshire, who was the brother of William Waynflete (also known as Patten), Bishop of Winchester. Patten attended Gonville Hall, Cambridge, and served as a minor chaplain and parish clerk of St Mary-at-Hill, Billingsgate, London, from 1528 and 1533, respectively. He was married twice, and his second wife was Anne, the daughter and heiress of Richard Johnson of Boston, Lincolnshire. Patten was the father of seven children, all from his second marriage, and he referred to himself as "unfortunate Patten...the sorrowing father."
