[8e] Robert Aldrich was born at Burnham in Buckinghamshire, educated at Eton, and elected a scholar of King’s college, Cambridge, in 1507, where he took the degree of M.A. afterwards became proctor of the university, schoolmaster of Eton; fellow of the college, and at length provost. In 1523 he was one of those who were sent out by the university of Cambridge to preach in different parts of the nation, as the judges now go their circuits. In 1529 he retired to Oxford, where he was incorporated B.D. About the same time he was made archdeacon of Colchester. In 1534 he was installed canon of Windsor, and the same year he was appointed register of the most noble order of the garter. July 18, 1537, he was consecrated bishop of Carlisle. He was a correspondent of Erasmus, who termed him when young, “blandæ eloquentiæ juvenis,” and appears to have associated with him during his residence at Cambridge. Leland was his familiar acquaintance, and gives him a high character for parts and learning. He was the author of a volume of epigrams, and several theological treatises.
