Carew (Richard), 1555-1620 
Richard Carew was born at East Antonie 44 In the Eastern 
Parts of Cornwall, within some Miles of Plymouth,” in the 
year 1555 (cf. Wood, Athen. Oxon. vol. i.). He was the 
son of Thomas Carew and Elizabeth Edgecumb, daughter 
of Sir Richard Edgecumb, of Mount-Edgcumb in Devon. 
In 1566, at the early age of eleven, Carew 44 became a 
Gentleman Commoner of Christ Church,” Oxford, but 44 had 
his chamber in Broadgate’s Hall.” While at Oxford, Carew 
^(according to Dr. Fuller in his History of the Worthies of 
England , p. 203), 44 being but fourteen years old, and yet 
three years’ standing, he was called out to dispute extempore, 
before the Earls of Leicester and Warwick, with the matchless 
Sir Philip Sidney.” 1 
After leaving Oxford, Carew seems to have proceeded to 
the Middle Temple, and, according to Wood, was three years 
later 44 sent with his Uncle (Sir George Carew, as it seems) 
in his embassage unto the King of Poland : whom when he 
came to Dantzick, he found that he had been newly gone 
hence into Sweden, whither also he went after him.” Richard 
Carew mentions his uncle, 44 Master George Carew,” in his 
Survey (fol. 61), and refers to the embassy to Poland, but 
says nothing about accompanying his relative. 
1 Sir Philip Sidney was born in 1554 and was then, therefore, fifteen years old.
