Trelawny, Jonathan

    0.03 sec.

Trelawny, Jonathan (1650-1721)

English bishop, one of the seven bishops who were tried in 1688 for refusing to read James II's Declaration of Indulgence from the pulpit. He and his co-defendents were acquitted on charges of seditious libel, a blow to James's attempts to restore toleration of Catholicism.

Trelawny was born near Pelynt, Cornwall, and held successively the bishoprics of Bristol, Exeter, and Winchester.
