Trelawny SIR JONATHAN, an English clergyman
Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)
SIR JONATHAN, an English clergyman; from Westminster passed in 1663 to Christ Church, Oxford, and became bishop in turn of Bristol (1685), Exeter (1688), and Winchester (1707); he was one of the Seven Bishops tried under James II., and is the hero of R. S. Hawker's well-known ballad, "And shall Trelawny die?" This was based on a contemporary refrain, the strong feeling aroused among the Cornishmen due rather to Trelawny's being head of an ancient Cornish house than to his being a bishop or even a martyr in a good cause. 1721.

What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's in 1921 passed on Trelawny's own legend, including the notion that Byron drew him in "The Corsair" — a poem published in 1814, eight years before the two men met, so the story cannot be true. Twentieth-century scholarship, above all William St Clair's 1977 biography *Trelawny: The Incurable Romancer*, established that the "Recollections of the Last Days of Shelley and Byron" embroiders and in places invents, and it is now read as memoir-as-performance rather than as evidence. The bare facts Collier's gives still hold: he died at Sompting in 1881, was cremated, and his ashes lie beside Shelley's in the Protestant Cemetery at Rome, and Millais's "The North-West Passage" (1874) hangs in Tate Britain. Of Bishop Sir Jonathan Trelawny little has changed except that Hawker's refrain "And shall Trelawny die?" is now sung as Cornwall's unofficial anthem, and some scholars suspect the original cry belonged to an earlier Trelawny imprisoned in 1628.
