Doct. of Musick.
Robert Perrot Bach. of Musick, and about this time Organist of Magd. College, supplicated that he might be licensed to proceed in the said Faculty.—His request was granted conditionally that he compose a Mass and one Song, before he really proceed. or stand in the Comitia; but whether he was admitted or licensed to proceed, it doth not appear in the Register. This Robert Perrot, who was the second Son of George Perrot of Haroldston near Haver∣ford West in Pembrokeshire (of an ancient and knightly Family li∣ving there) was an eminent Musitian of his time, and did com∣pose several Church Services and other Matters, which have been since antiquated. He was a Benefactor to the said College, as his Widow, and his eldest Son Simon afterwards were, and is An∣cestor to the Perrots of North-Ley in Oxfordshire, I mean to that Family of the Perrots, (for there are two that live there) who are called Gentlemen Perrots. He gave way to Fare 20 April 1550, and was buried in the North Isle or Alley joyning to the Church of S. Peter in the East in Oxon.
