Page "Richard Stanihurst" Paragraph 2

After the death of his wife, Janet Barnewall, in 1579, Stanyhurst went to the Netherlands.

After his second marriage, which took place before 1585, to Helen Copley, he became active in the Catholic cause.

He lived in the bishopric of Liège, where he got in touch with the Paracelsan movement gathered around Ernest of Bavaria ( 1554 – 1612 ).

From then, Stanihurst analysed the relationships between medicine and chemistry.
