NOTE: This is a Robinson badge I found on the internet. This is not necessarily the Coat of Arms for my ancestors, but I thought I'd use it to spice up my page a bit!

Some Documentation worth noting:

Here's an email from Dr. E. Leedham-Green, Deputy Keeper of the Cambridge University Archives concerning Reverend John Robinson (pastor to the American Pilgrims):
Dear Mr Smith,  
Thank you for your enquiry about John Robinson.  According to
Venn's _Alumni Cantabrigienses_ he was born in 1576, son of John (who
died at Sturston, Nottinghamshire, in 1614).  Matriculated as a sizar
[i.e., a relatively impecunious student] at Corpus hristi College,
Cambridge, in 1592, as 'of Nottinghamshire'.  B.A. 1595/6; M.A. 1599.
Fellow of the college 1598-1604.  For a time held a curacy in Norwich;
afterwards congregational minister at Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, and
Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, where William Brewster and Richard Clifton

Pilgrims_, etc.

  It is very unlikely that any substantial information about the life of
Robinson as an individual student at Cambridge will be found in our
sources beyond the fact that in August 194 he was one of a large group of
students involved in a riot arising out of a game of football outside
Trinity College and was put in the stocks for striking someone.

As to his course of studies: in theory all students at that time studied
the same course based on an evolved form of the medieval trivium and
quadrivium, but now consisting chiefly of rhetoric, some dialectic and
mathematics and a variety of other subjects more or less at choice.
A good account is to be found in w. T. Costello, _The Scholastic
curriculum in early seventeenth-century Cambridge_ (Cambridge, Mass.,1958.

For Cambridge in general you might start with the sources given at
the end of my _Concise History of the University of Cambridge_
(Cambridge University Press, 1996)
