John Bracegirdle
John Bracegirdle (died 1613–1614), was an English clergyman and poet. Although Bracegirdle has been reported to have been a son of John Bracegirdle (more often seen as Bretchgirdle), vicar of Stratford-upon-Avon from 1560 to 1569, Bretchgirdle's will makes it clear that he was unmarried. He was matriculated as a sizar of Queens' College, Cambridge, in December 1588, proceeded B.A. in 1591-1592, commenced M.A. in 1595, and proceeded B.D. in 1602.
