History
Lord Thomas Audley’s son-in-law and successor, in virtue of his second marriage in 1558 to Margaret Audley, Thomas Audley’s daughter. A courtier and diplomat, who became probably the richest man in England, and who (fatally) planned to marry (as his fourth wife) Mary Queen of Scots. He was a benefactor to the College, though not to the extent promised (1564) in terms of funds and endowment, owing to imprisonment in 1568 and subsequent execution for treason. He made no appointment to the Mastership.
