Magdalen college in Cambridge (originally founded in 1519 by Edward
Stafford duke of Buckingham) ; and endowed it, on its revival, (for by
the attainder of Buckingham it was fuppofed to be forfeited to the crown,)

After having held the great feal for eleven years, Lord Audley died
poffeffed of the. office of lord chancellor, April ;o, i 544, and was buried
in the church of Saffron Walden, where, as Fuller tells us, a lamentable
epitaph is infcribed on his monument: it is indeed fo lamentable, that we
are confident our readers will not regret its omiffion.

one daughter, named Margaret, married firff to lord Henry Dudley, (a
younger fonof John duke of Northumberland,) who was Hain at the battle
of St. Quintin in Picardy, Aug. 10, 1557, and died without iffue. She

folk, by whom fhe had two daughters, and three fons; Thomas, created
in 1603 earl of Suffolk; Flenry, who died young; and William, of Na-
worth in Cumberland, anceftor to the prefent earl of Carlifle. Thomas,
earl of Suffolk, the eldeff fon of this marriage, was in 1603 appointed

when he was conftituted lord treafurer of England, from which office,
four years afterwards, he was difmiffed with great difgrace, being fined
30,000!. for taking bribes, and embezzling his majeffy’s treafure. He
