But finallie the thing that most greeued him, was the losse of that most noble gentleman, his déere sonne prince Edward, in whom was found all parts that might be wished in a worthie gouernour. But this and other mishaps that chanced to him now in his old yeares, might seeme to come to passe for a re|uenge of his disobedience shewed to his father in v|surping against him, although it might be said, that he did it by constreint, and through the aduise of o|thers. But whether the remorse hereof, or of his other offenses mooued him; it may séeme (as some write) that the consideration of this worlds mutabilitie, which he tried to the full, caused him (as is thought) to haue in mind the life in the world to come, and there|fore of a pure deuotion founded the church and col|ledge of saint Stephan at Westminster, and ano|ther at Cambridge called The kings hall, giuing therevnto lands and reuenues, to the mainte|nance of them that would giue themselues vnto learning.
