<P0-S0> Peter Leycester was born at Nether Tabley, near Knutsford, Cheshire, England, the eldest son of Peter Leycester (1588–1647) and Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir Randle Mainwaring of Over Peover, Cheshire. <P0-S1>  He entered Brasenose College, Oxford in 1629 as a gentleman commoner but did not take a degree. <P0-S2>  In 1632 he was admitted to Gray's Inn. <P0-S3>  When the Civil War started he was appointed as one of the king's commissioners of array for Cheshire. <P0-S4>  He was in Oxford in June 1646 when the city surrendered to Thomas Fairfax. <P0-S5>  Consequently, he was excluded from other responsibilities and had time to develop his interest in antiquarian research. <P0-S6>  Among the subjects he studied was the pedigree of the Mainwaring family. <P0-S7>  In 1649 he purchased a transcript of the section of the Domesday book relating to Cheshire. <P0-S8>  In 1655 he had a period of imprisonment, but following the Restoration he was released and returned to the bench as a justice of the peace. <P0-S9>  He was created a baronet in 1660 as a reward for his loyalty to the royalist cause. <SEP> <P1-S0> Brasenose College ( BNC), officially The King's Hall and College of Brasenose, is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. <P1-S1>  It was founded in 1509, with the College library and current chapel added in the mid-seventeenth century. <P1-S2>  The College's New Quadrangle was completed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with additional residence areas completed in the 1960s and 1970s. <SEP> <P2-S0> The history of Brasenose College, Oxford stretches back to 1509, when the college was founded on the site of Brasenose Hall. <P2-S1>  Its name is believed to derive from the name of a bronze knocker that adorned the hall's door. <P2-S2>  The college was associated with Lancashire and Cheshire, the county origins of its two founders – Sir Richard Sutton and the Bishop of Lincoln, William Smyth – a link that was maintained strongly until the latter half of the nineteenth century. <P2-S3>  The first principals navigated Brasenose, with its Catholic sympathisers, through the reformation and continuing religious reforms. <P2-S4>  Most of Brasenose favoured the Royalist side during the English Civil War, although it produced notable generals and clergy on both sides. <P2-S5>  The library and chapel were completed in the mid-seventeenth century, despite Brasenose suffering continuing financial problems. <SEP> <P3-S0>  He held political offices, the most important being Lord President of the Council of Wales and the Marches. <P3-S1>  He became very wealthy and was a benefactor of a number of institutions. <P3-S2>  He was a co-founder of Brasenose College, Oxford and endowed a grammar school in the village of his birth in Lancashire. <P3-S3> William Smyth (or Smith) (c. 1460 – 2 January 1514) was Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield from 1493 to 1496 and then Bishop of Lincoln until his death.
