About William Bowyer
William Bowyer was an English antiquary and government official who was a Member of Parliament and Keeper of the Records in the Tower of London early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He was the first Keeper to systematically organise and catalogue the store of government records maintained in the Tower. An avid collector of old manuscripts, he also created Heroica Eulogia, a compilation of grants and verse eulogies relating to the earls of Leicester, along with satirical verses and illustrations, for presentation to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.
