These conferences took place in 1622,
at the desire of King James I, before
the Countess of Buckingham, who was
leaning to catholicism. Fisher
defended the catholic aid against
Francis White, afterwards Bishop of
Ely. The King attended the conferences,
the third and last of which was held on
24 May 1622, when Laud replaced White.
Fisher's account of the Conferences was
circulated widely in manuscript (see
volume II of Laud's Works, Oxford, 1849).
