Edward the 4^th at once took away from Kings College a thousand pound land a year, amongst which 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 the house for want of maintenance. Indeed I have read that King Edward afterwards restored five hundred marks of yearly revenue on condition they should acknowledge him for their founder & write all their deeds in his name.
