Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study focused Sir Nicholas Bacon's patronage to his college scholars and fellows. By highlighting the documents relating to Corpus Christi College Cambridge, in particular, it revealed the mutual interdependence of his students, who had literary ambition and allied themselves with other members of adjacent chambers and colleges, with magnates of municipal corporations, and, furthermore, with government officials at court.
