Sir William DUGDALE 1605-85

Biographical Note

Garter King of Arms, historian.

Books

We have little information on the extent and contents of Dugdale's library, which must have been extensive. He bequeathed manuscripts to the Ashmolean Museum, which are now in the Bodleian Library (MSS Dugdale 1-49), but some of his manuscript collections, and presumably also printed books, remained with his family. Some of these manuscripts were sold at Sotheby's, 20.11.1862. The single book with an armorial stamp associated with Dugdale, now in the National Art Library, (Clements CLE R14), is a presentation copy given to him.
