William Forrest (f. 1581) was a Catholic priest, chaplain to queen Mary,
and probably holder of an office in Wolsey's new college of Christ Church,
Oxford. His most important poem, the Seconde Grisilde, presented by him
to Mary in 1558, is a narrative of the divorce of her mother, queen Catherine
of Arragon. His poems are interesting rather for the light they throw on
the theological and social history of his times than for their merits as poetry.
Forrest was a friend of Alexander Barclay, whom he mentions in the
prologue to the second part of the Pleasaunt poesye of princelie practise.
He was a musician, and the owner of copies of much good music of his day;
his collection is now at Oxford.
