Robert Persons (24 June 1546, Nether Stowey, Somerset – 15 April 1610, Rome), later known as Robert Parsons, was an English Jesuit priest. On 13 February, 1574, he was forced to resign because of his strong Catholic leanings. Reconciled overseas through discussions and pupillege with Father William Good, became a Jesuit in St Paul's, Rome on 3 July, 1575. Parsons accompanied Edmund Campion (who was later canonized) on Campion's mission to aid English Catholics in 1579. The Jesuit General, Everard Mercurian, had been reluctant to involve the Jesuits directly in the political machinations of the pope against England. The mission was further compromised because the pope had sent a separate group, unbeknownst to the Jesuit mission, to support the Irish rebel, James Fitzmaurice Fitzgerald. Parsons and Campion learned of this in Reims while en route to England.
