Other NoteHumfrey Michel (alternative spellings: Humphrey Michel; Humphrey Michell) was born in Birmingham, c. 1650. After spending a year at Trinity College, Cambridge, Michel matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford, on 29 March 1667, aged seventeen. He proceeded B.A. on 10 February 1669-1670. He became vicar of Horningold, Leicestershire, in 1677. He was an ardent Tory, and composed several libellous verses against Edwin Conyers, J. P., for which he was publicly condemned. He was also a staunch supporter of both Queen Anne and King George I, successively. He died in 1722 and was buried beneath the altar of Blaston St. Giles.
