The Anglican Library - John Donne Born a Roman Catholic with Jesuit relatives, Donne did not go abroad to Douai to study, as was typical of English Roman Catholics of his time. Instead, he studied at Hart Hall, Oxford, and Trinity College, Cambridge. Afterward he studied law at Lincoln's Inn, London. He joined the staff of the Lord Chancellor, but eloped with his niece, Anne More, in 1601. Their marriage resulted in Donne losing his livelihood and being thrown into prison. Donne was known to the king, however, and after failing to secure a position in other fields of endeavor, he acceded to the king's desire that he enter the ordained ministry. He became Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London six years later.
