Alberico Gentili (14 January 1552 – 19 June 1608) was an Italian jurist, a tutor of Queen Elizabeth I, and a standing advocate to the Spanish Embassy in London, who served as the Regius Professor of Civil Law at the University of Oxford for 21 years.[note 1] He is regarded as the co-founder of the field of international law,[note 2] and thus known as the "Father of international law".[note 3] The first medieval writer on public international law,[note 4] in 1587 Gentili became the first non-English person to be a Regius Professor.[note 5] He also authored numerous books, which are recognized to be among the most essential sources for international legal doctrines, yet that also include theological and literary subjects.[note 6]
