RICHARD BAKES, matriculated as a pensioner of Christ's college 9 Nov. 1568, proceeded B.A. 1572-3. He subsequently removed to Caius college, and in 1576 commenced M.A. as a member of that house. He was hanged at Tyburn 6 Dec. 1594. We know not his offence. The fact that he suffered the extreme penalty of the law appears by the register of the Stationers' company, which records the entry to Thomas Gosson and William Blackwell of a ballad entitled the Wofull lamentacion of Richard Banes executed at Tybone the 6 of December 1594.
He is author of:
