Extract from Thomas Fuller's 'History of the University of Cambridge'
Edward ye 4th at once took away from Kings College a thousand pound land yearly a year, amongst wch the fee farm of the Mannors of Chesterton & Cambridge. Whereupon no fewer then i[1] forty of the fellows & scholars besides conducts Clerks & Choristers & other College officers were in one day forced to depart ye house for want of maintenance. Indeed I have read that King Edward afterwards restored 500 five hundred marks of yearly revenue on condition they should acknowledge him for their founder & write all their deeds in his name.
