As a defender of the established See also:religion he was soon engaged in controversy, and his failure to secure a fellowship at All Souls' College is attributed to the hostility of the See also:Roman Catholics. In 1570 he supplicated in vain for the degree of B.A., and although a renewed application was granted in 1573 it is doubtful if he ever took a degree; and in 1571 he went to London and devoted himself to antiquarian studies, for which he had already acquired a See also:taste.

Grant resigned the headmastership in 1593 he was appointed as his successor.

king-at-arms, an See also:appointment which caused some See also:ill-feeling, and the See also:York See also:herald, See also:Ralph See also:Brooke, led an attack on the genealogical accuracy of the Britannia, and accused its author of See also:plagiarism. Camden replied to Brooke in an appendix to the fifth edition of the Britannia, published in 1600, and his reputation came through the See also:ordeal untarnished. Having brought out an enlarged and improved edition of the Britannia in 1607, he began to work on a See also:history of the reign of See also:Queen Elizabeth, to which he had been urged by See also:Lord See also:Burghley in 1597. The first See also:part of this history dealing with the reign down to 1588 was published in 1615 under the See also:title Annales rerum Anglicarum et Hibernicarum regnante Elizabetha. With regard to this work some controversy at once arose over the author's treatment of See also:Mary, queen of Scots. It was asserted that Camden altered his See also:original narrative in See also:- ORDER

James I., and, moreover, that the See also:account which he is said to have given to his friend, the See also:French historian, Jacques de See also:Thou, differed substantially from his own. It seems doubtful if there is any truth in either of these charges. The second part of this work, finished in 1617, was published, after the author's See also:death, at See also:Leiden in 1625 and in London in 1627.. In 1622 Camden carried out a See also:plan to found a history lectureshipat Oxford. He provided an endowment from some lands at See also:Bexley, and appointed as the first lecturer, his friend, Degory Wheare. The See also:present occupant of the position is known as the Camden See also:professor of See also:ancient history. His concluding years were mainly spent at See also:Chislehurst, where he had taken up his See also:residence in 1609, and in spite of recurring illnesses he continued to work at material for the improvement of the Britannia and kindred subjects. He died at Chislehurst on the 9th of See also:November 1623, and was buried in Westminster See also:Abbey, where a See also:monument now stands to his memory.
The Britannia, the first edition of which is dedicated to See also:Burgh-ley, is a survey of the See also:British islands written in elegant Latin. It was first translated into English in 161o, probably under the author's direction, and other See also:translations have subsequently appeared, the best of which is an edition edited by See also:Richard See also:Gough and published in three volumes in 1789, and in four volumes in 18o6. The Annales has been translated into French, and English translations appeared in 1635, 1695 and 1688. The Latin version was published at Leiden in 1639 and 1677, and under the editorship of T. See also:Hearne at Oxford in 1717. In addition to these See also:works Camden compiled a See also:Greek See also:grammar; Instilutio Graecae Grammatices Compendiaria, which became very popular, and he published an"edition of the writings of See also:Asser, Giraldus Cambrensis, Thomas See also:Walsingham and others, under the title, Anglica, Hibernica, Normannica, Cambrica, a veteribus scripta, published at See also:Frankfort in 1602, and again in 1603. He also See also:drew up a See also:list of the epitaphs in Westminster Abbey, which was issued as Reges, Reginae, Nobiles et alii in See also:ecclesia collegiata Beati Petri Westmonasterii sepulti. This was enlarged and published again in 1603 and 16o6. In 16o5 he published his Remains concerning See also:Britain, a See also:book of collections from the Britannia, which quickly passed through seven editions; and he wrote an See also:official account of the trial of the See also:Gunpowder See also:Plot conspirators as Actio in Henricum Garnetum, Societatis Jesuiticae in Anglia superiorem et caeteros.
Camden, who refused a See also:knighthood, was a See also:man of enormous See also:industry, and possessed a modest and friendly disposition. He had a large number of influential See also:friends, among whom were See also:Archbishop Ussher, See also:Sir See also:Robert See also:Cotton, See also:John See also:Selden, the French jurist See also:Brisson, and See also:Isaac See also:Casaubon.
