The Life of William Sancroft V1: Archbishop of Canterbury is a biography written by George D'Oyly and published in 1821. The book chronicles the life of William Sancroft, who served as the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1677 to 1691. Sancroft was a prominent figure in the Church of England during a tumultuous period in English history, which saw the rise of religious dissent and political upheaval. The biography delves into Sancroft's early life, his education at Cambridge, his ordination as a priest, and his rise through the ranks of the Church of England. The book also explores Sancroft's role in the political and religious controversies of his time, including his opposition to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which led to his removal from office. D'Oyly's biography draws on a range of sources, including Sancroft's own writings, contemporary accounts, and historical documents. The book provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of a complex figure in English history, and sheds light on the religious and political conflicts of the seventeenth century.
