- gumby 4y agoSure, though to be pedantic he wasn’t a Fellow during the period referred to by the quote. Was there really a prohibition on marriage, or was that a side effect of dons being required to be priests (who in the CofE of course can marry). Interesting. In general, restoration politics were weird.
