Samuel Rutter
It is suggested in the Mona Miscellaney [1][2] that Sam Rutter was probably a native of Lancashire, educated at Westminster school, and elected from there in 1623, to Christ Church, Oxford.Upon the Restoration, he was made Bishop of Sodor and Man: he was presented to the See by Charles Stanley, 8th Earl of Derby on 18 December 1660, confirmed 14 March, and consecrated a bishop on 24 March 1661.He was a chaplain to the James Stanley, 7th Earl of Derby, and was at Lathom House during its first siege.He was also "the chosen friend counsellor, and afterwards chaplain, of the noble-minded Countess, during all her troubles, and it was principally through her influence that he succeeded to the bishopric."A translation of it reads as follows: He wrote numerous pieces of poetry for the Earl of Derby's amusement, but not many of them have been published.
