English clergyman and academic administrator
Richard Marshall
D.D. (1517 – in or after 1575) was an
English clergyman and academic administrator at the
University of Oxford .
Marshall was elected
Dean (head) of
Christ Church, Oxford in 1553, a post he held until 1559.

[2]
He was
Vice-Chancellor of
Oxford University during 1552–4.

Life
He is thought to have been the son of
William Marshall , was said to be from
Kent , and was a scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, from 1532 until 1538. He graduated B.A. 5 December 1537, and his subsequent degrees were M.A. 5 October 1540, B.D. October 1544, and D.D. 18 July 1552. He became fellow of his college in 1538, but migrated to Christ Church about 1540, becoming a student there.
[5]
At Corpus Marshall was Greek lecturer, and noted as a strong Roman Catholic traditionalist. He was one of the witnesses against John Dunne in October 1538. In Edward VI's reign he is said to have turned Protestant, and was vice-chancellor in 1552, but he changed his views under Mary I. He also dug up the body of
Peter Martyr 's wife in Christ Church, and had it cast on his dunghill.
[5]
Marshall became dean of Christ Church in 1553, and is probably the Marshall or Martial who held prebends at St. Paul's and Winchester during Mary's reign. In 1554 he took part in the Oxford disputation on
transubstantiation , was one of the witnesses against
Thomas Cranmer , aided in the degradation of
Nicholas Ridley . He almost caught
John Jewel when he fled from Oxford after his recantation in the autumn of 1555.
[5]
At Elizabeth I's accession Marshall lost his preferments. He retained powerful friends, as he had been domestic chaplain to
Lord Arundell . He found refuge with
Henry Clifford, 2nd Earl of Cumberland and Christopher Metcalf in the north. He was captured and brought to London, and signed a fresh recantation.
[5]
Marshall then worked again as a Catholic priest, among the northern recusants. Finally he went into exile, in
Leuven and
Douai .
