1. Title: "From Obscurity to Generosity: The Remarkable Life of Tobias Rustat, Benefactor to Jesus College, Cambridge (1606-1694)" 2.. This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Tobias Rustat, a humble courtier who rose from obscurity to become a generous benefactor to Jesus College, Cambridge. Born in 1606, Rustat began his life as a servant in the household of Sir John Hoskyns, a wealthy landowner and courtier. Despite his humble beginnings, Rustat's intelligence, diligence, and ambition soon caught the attention of his employer, who recognized his potential and sponsored his education at Jesus College. Rustat's academic prowess and dedication to learning earned him a scholarship, which allowed him to continue his studies and eventually graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree. After leaving the university, Rustat entered the service of King Charles I, where he rose through the ranks to become a trusted courtier and advisor. Throughout his career, Rustat remained devoted to Jesus College, providing generous donations to support the education of future generations of scholars. His most significant gift came in 1665, when he donated £1,500 to establish a new scholarship in memory of his late wife, Elizabeth. This scholarship, known as the Rustat Scholarship, continues to this day, providing financial assistance to students in need. Rustat's life is a testament to the power of education and the importance of giving back to one's community. Despite his humble beginnings, he used his intelligence, hard work, and good fortune to make a lasting impact on the world around him. This portrait, taken around 1660, captures the essence of a man who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on the history of Jesus College, Cambridge.
