Bergenroth

Bergenroth, Gustav, historian, was born in 1813 in East Prussia. Appointed assessor to the High Court of Berlin in 1843, he was in 1848 removed to a subordinate position in consequence of his revolutionary sympathies. He left the public service altogether, however, and in 1856 came to England to collect materials in the Record Office for a history of the Tudor period. In 1860 he went to Spain, where he collected for the Master of the Rolls from the archives preserved in Simancas, three volumes of State papers relating to English history. He died in 1869.
