Valentine Cary (died 1626) (alias Carey, erroneously Carew[1]), was an English clergyman, who became Bishop of Exeter.He was born in about 1570 and is believed to have been an illegitimate son of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon (1526–1596),[2] due to the known fact that he was born at Berwick-upon-Tweed and at about the time when Lord Hunsdon was stationed there in connection with his military duties.[5] He is known to have used the arms of the Carey family of Cockington and Clovelly in Devon (Argent, on a bend sable three roses of the field), of which the Barons Hunsdon were a junior branch, but added a bordure compony.[9][10][11] In 1609/10, through the influence of his supposed half-brother John Carey, 3rd Baron Hunsdon (d.1617),[12] he became Master of Christ's College, where he had been a Fellow from 1597 to 1600.It also led Cary to be suspicious of Joseph Mede, who was to be one of Christ's best-known Fellows.
