Seven Champions of Christendom.—Who was the author of The Seven Champions of Christendom?

Our correspondent will find many curious particulars of his various works in the Introduction which Mr. Chappell has prefixed to one of them, viz. The Crown Garland of Golden Roses, edited by him from the edition of 1612 for the Percy Society.]
