[1] The dead bo|die of K. Ri|chard brought to ye Tower.Thus was the corps first brought to the Tower, and after through the citie, to the cathedrall church of saint Paule bare faced, where it laie thrée daies to|gither, that all men might behold it. There was a solemne obsequie doone for him, both at Paules, and after at Westminster, at which time, both at dirige o|uernight, and in the morning at the masse of Requiem, the king and the citizens of London were present. When the same was ended, the corps was comman|ded to be had vnto Langlie, there to be buried in the church of the friers preachers.He is buried at Langlie. The bishop of Che|ster, the abbats of saint Albons and Waltham, cele|brated the exequies for the buriall, none of the nobles nor anie of the commons (to accompt of) being pre|sent: neither was there anie to bid them to dinner after they had laid him in the ground, and finished the funerall seruice. He was after by king Henrie the fi [...] remooued to Westminster, and there honorablie intoomed with quéene Anne his wife, although the Scots vntruelie write, that he escaped out of prison, and led a vertuous and a solitarie life in Scotland, and there died, & is buried (as they hold) in the blacke friers at Sterling. Abr. Fl. out of Fabian pag. 378. ¶But Fabian and others doo as it were point out the place of his interrement, saieng that he lieth intoomed on the south side of saint Ed|wards shrine, with an epitaph expressing partlie his proportion of bodie and partlie his properties of mind, as after followeth in a rimed hexastichon:

Prudens & mundus, Richardus iure secundus,

Per fatum victus, iacet hîc sub marmore pictus,

Verax sermone, fuit & plenus ratione,

Corpore procerus, animo prudens vt Homerus,

Ecclesiae fauit, elatos suppeditauit,

Quemuis prostrauit, regalia qui violauit.
