Robert Wylkynson (sometimes Wilkinson) (ca. 1450 – Eton College, Eton after 1515) was one of the composers of the Eton Choirbook. Wylkynson became parish clerk of Eton in 1496, then in 1500 he was promoted to ''Informator'' - the master of the choristers. Only four works survive: * 2x Salve Regina * Jesus autem transiens/Credo in Deum à 13 * motet ''O virgo prudentissima'' (fragmentary) But these works show Wylkynson to have been "an extremely ambitious composer and a more than competent one."Hugh Benham Latin church music in England, c. 1460–1575 1977 Page 95
