John Heywood (c. 1497 – c. 1580) was an English writer known for his plays, poems, and collection of proverbs.[1][2] Although he is best known as a playwright, he was also active as a musician and composer, though no musical works survive.[3] A devout Catholic, he nevertheless served as a royal servant to both the Catholic and Protestant regimes of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I.
