Richard Bower

Richard Bower (died 1561) was Master of the Children of the Chapel Royal from 1545 to 1561, serving under four monarchs—Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I.

By 1524 he was singing in the chapel of Thomas Wolsey, becoming a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal by 1538.

A "tragical comedy" play, ''Apius and Virginia'' is attributed to him.

Bower was the father-in-law of Richard Farrant, and an associate of Thomas Tallis who was an overseer of his will. He was buried in St Alfege Church, Greenwich. Provided by Wikipedia
