(1551-1623), Antiquary and historian

Sitter associated with 25 portraits
An important antiquary and historian, Camden was employed at Westminster School, becoming its headmaster in 1593.

Among his other publications was a history of the reign of Elizabeth I up to 1589. Camden founded a chair of history at Oxford University.
