Sir Geoffrey Fenton was in his younger life a productive English writer of translations from French-language sources during the Elizabethan era. He went on to have a prominent career in service to the Crown in Ireland, as Privy Councillor and Principal Secretary of State in Ireland. He was thoroughly Protestant in outlook and somewhat remorseless in pursuing his causes.
