He fought on the [[Royalist]] side during the [[English Civil War]]. On the failure of the Royalist cause, he retired to [[Glamorgan]] in 1648, and entered the household of the Welsh Royalist Sir John Aubrey, first of the [[Aubrey baronets]], at [[Llantrithyd]], as did his two most valuable patrons, [[Gilbert Sheldon]], the future [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], and Sir [[Francis Mansell]], Jenkins' predecessor as Principal of Jesus College. 

He set up a small private school for the education of Aubrey's son and other local boys, but it was broken up by Parliament in 1651 as a seminary for potential [[traitors]]. He moved with some of his pupils to [[Oxford]], where he set up another school known popularly as "the Little Welsh Hall", but in 1655 he was forced to flee to the Continent. At the [[Restoration of Charles II]] he was made a fellow of Jesus College and became Principal on Mansell's retirement the following year.
