Bray, Vicar of (lived 16th century)

English vicar of Bray. He is variously described as Simon Aleyn, Simon Dillin, or Simon Allen, and was appointed vicar during the reign of Henry VIII. He maintained his position during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I by adapting his religious principles to accommodate the beliefs and attitudes of the current sovereign.

The fickle vicar is made to live through the reigns of Charles II, James II, William III, Anne, and George I in the ballad In Good King Charles's Golden Days.
