Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sir John Mason was an English diplomat, spy and Member of Parliament. Mason was born in Abingdon in Berkshire. He was educated at Abingdon School, part of the local abbey in his native town, where his uncle was abbot, Thomas Rowland. Later, he went to All Souls College, Oxford and was ordained a priest. He was ordained an acolyte in 1521 and, later that year, he was elected a fellow of All Souls and admitted to the BA degree, and in 1525 he incepted MA. His career path changed at Oxford, after he attracted the attention of Sir Thomas More, perhaps by delivering the welcome oration for Henry VIII's visit to the university in 1529. With More's support he secured a royal exhibition to study in Paris. In 1531 his old patron, the abbot of Abingdon, presented him to the first of his many ecclesiastical benefices: the rectory of Kingston Bagpuize, Berkshire; but he remained in France. In 1532 he attended the meeting between Francis I of France and Henry VIII at Calais
