St. John Roberts was born in 1577 in Trawsfynydd, a small village in Snowdonia, north Wales, the son of John and Anna Roberts of Rhiw Goch Farm.〔("Life of Trawsfynydd Catholic martyr Saint John Roberts", BBC Northwest Wales, 8 December 2009 )〕 A Welsh gentleman, descended from the ancient British kings,〔〔("Welsh Martyr honoured in ecumenical service", The British Orthodox Church within the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate, 17 July 2010 )〕 his father was a farmer. He was baptised into the Protestant faith in the local church of St Madryn and is said to have received his early education from a monk who had been a member of the community of Cymer Abbey just outside Dolgellau, until it was dissolved by Henry VIII. He attended St. John's College, Oxford in February, 1595 before leaving after two years to study law at Furnival's Inn, London.〔("The Welsh martyr who ministered in London", Archdiocese of Southwark )〕 During his travels in Europe, he left behind both the law and his former faith as he converted to Catholicism on a visit to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. He moved on to Spain and joined St Benedict's Monastery, Valladolid, and became a member of this community in 1598,〔 where he was known as Brother John of Merioneth, in reference to his birthplace, Meirionnydd.〔
