Bergenroth

Bergenroth, GUSTAV ADOLF, historian, born in Prussia, 1813, studied law, and entered the state service, from which he was dismissed, owing to his revolutionary views, in 1848. Becoming further compromised, he went to America in 1850, but settled in 1857 in England, where he devoted himself to the study of the state papers of the Tudor reigns. After a visit to Simancas, in Spain, the results of his labours were published under the title Calendar of Letters, Despatches, and State Papers relating to the Negotiations between England and Spain (3 vols. Lond. 1862-68). He died in Madrid, February 13, 1869.
