Jasper Heywood, SJ (1535 – 9 January 1598), son of John Heywood, translated into English three plays of Seneca, the Troas (1559), the Thyestes (1560) and Hercules Furens (1561). He was a fellow of Merton College, Oxford, but was compelled to resign from that society in 1558. In the same year he was elected a fellow of All Souls College, but, refusing to conform to the changes in religion at the beginning of the reign of Elizabeth I, he gave up his fellowship and went to Rome where he was received into the Society of Jesus. His nephew was the poet and preacher John Donne.
