Excerpt from Fynes Moryson´s Itinerary: Being a Survey of the Condition of Europe at the End of the 16th Century; With an Introduction and an Account of Fynes Moryson´s Career Fynes Moryson was born in 1566, two years after the birth of Shakespeare.

Fynes Moryson´s mother was the daughter and one of the co-heirs of Thomas Moyne (or Moigne) by Bridget, daughter of Sir William Hansard, of North Kelsey.

He was tried by Sir William Parr, at Lincoln, in 1537, with the Abbot of Kirksted and others, and the Lincoln jury sympathised with the prisoners. Moigne spoke in his own defence for three hours so skilfully that "but for the diligence of the King´s serjeant" he and all the rest would have been acquitted.
