John William Bund Willis-Bund (8 August 1843 – 7 June 1928) was an historian and local Worcestershire politician.〔Robert Thomas Jenkins, ( WILLIS-BUND (formerly WILLIS), JOHN WILLIAM (1843-1928) ), (Welsh Biography Online ), Retrieved 2009-11-05. An electronic version of a publication by the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion〕 ==Biography== Willis-Bund was born in 1843 at Wick Episcopi, Worcestershire, the son of John Walpole Willis and his second wife Ann Susanna Kent Bund. The adoption of his mother's surname (in 1864)〔Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College 1349-1897 vol. II 1713-1897, John Venn, Cambridge University Press/ C. J. Clay and Sons, 1898, pg 354〕 was necessary in order to inherit from his maternal grandfather. He was educated at Eton and Caius College, Cambridge, graduating B.A. in 1865 with first-class honours in Law. He was also awarded an LL.B. (1865) and an M.A. (1868).〔Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College 1349-1897 vol. II 1713-1897, John Venn, Cambridge University Press/ C. J. Clay and Sons, 1898, pg 354〕 He was called to the Bar from Lincoln's Inn.〔 In the course of his legal career he was appointed King's Counsel.〔Truth, volume 57, 1905, pg 1510〕 Willis-Bund was Professor of Constitutional Law and History at King's College London from 1869 to 1882, and Lecturer in Law at the University of Bristol from 1877 to 1879.〔Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College 1349-1897 vol. II 1713-1897, John Venn, Cambridge University Press/ C. J. Clay and Sons, 1898, pg 354〕 Robert Thomas Jenkins noted that Willis-Bund wrote extensively about the history of the church in Wales but that some of his views were not generally held to be those of other academics writing in the field. Jenkins commented: "''Black Book of St. Davids'' (1902) — the work was but indifferently done". He also published a book, ''The Celtic Church of Wales'', 1897, which propounded a theory of his own and was judged by Louis Gougaud to be "dubious and prejudiced," and by Sir J. E. Lloyd to be "very haphazard".〔〔(Biograph on Louis Gougaud )〕 Willis-Bund was appointed Vice-Lieutenant of the County of Worcester in November 1924, and also received a CBE in 1918. He was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.〔Biographical History of Gonville and Caius College 1349-1897 vol. II 1713-1897, John Venn, Cambridge University Press/ C. J. Clay and Sons, 1898, pg 354〕 Willis-Bund married firstly (in 1872) Harriette Penelope Temple, the daughter (by his second wife) of Richard Temple. Temple's eldest son, also named Richard, became the first baronet Temple of the Nash. The Willis-Bunds had six children. His daughter Margaret married John Henry Milward, of the Redditch needle-manufacturing family. Daughter Mary Susanna's son, Francis Leader MacCarthy-Willis-Bund (1905–1980), was Chaplain, Fellow and Dean of Balliol College, Oxford. Willis-Bund married secondly (in 1896) Mary Elizabeth Thackeray, the daughter of General Frederick Rennell Thackeray and Lady Elizabeth Margaret Carnegie (the daughter of the 7th Earl of Northesk). Mary Elizabeth Thackeray was the widow of Colonel Alexander Essex Frederick Holcombe, and second cousin of the novelist William Makepeace Thackeray. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John William Willis-Bund」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
