In 1539 Crowland Abbey was dissolved and its land, including that on which Buckingham College stood, were forfeit to the Crown.

In 1542, Thomas, Lord Audley, the Lord Chancellor, asked the King (Henry VIII) to found a new College on the site. Audley would name it, issue its Statutes and endow it. Letters Patent were issued by Henry on 3 April 1542.

The original Letters Patent issued to the College and the corresponding privy seal warrant retained by the Crown have both been lost and, because the grant was never entered onto the Patent Roll, no contemporary copy of the grant survives. The text does survive in numerous copies including in the 'Old Book'. There is also a later copy [MCBG/1/1].

Lord Audley never in his lifetime referred to himself as the 'founder' of Magdalene. His widow, Lady Elizabeth Audley, referred to herself as 'fundatrix' of the College in the original Statutes of 1555. From that time on Audley's heirs have claimed their ancestor to be the founder and principal benefactor of Magdalene.

Transcription of the Letters Patent issued by Henry VIII, 3 April 1542, founding the College [Latin].

At the end of the transcription are added, in the same hand, copies of the following letters [English]:

(1) To the College from Lady Audley and other executors of the Founder to the College, sending the Statutes, 16 February 1555
[dated 16 February 1&2 Phil.& Mar. 1553/4, but this is impossible because Philip’s year 1 (cited first) ran July 1554-July 1555]

(2) To the Master and Fellows from the Duke of Norfolk, Visitor, 24 January 1565

(3) To the Master and Fellows from the 2nd Earl of Suffolk, Visitor, 21 May 1631

Statutes are the regulations governing University business and the management of Colleges.

The College's 'foundation charter' of 1542 laid down that Lord Audley and his heirs should write the statutes to cover the governance of the College. Lord Audley died in 1544 and as nothing had been achieved he wrote in his will that his executors should draw up the statutes. His executors were Lady Elizabeth Audley, Edward Lord North, Sir Thomas Pope, Thomas Barber, and Edmund Martyn and they delivered the statutes on 10 February 1555.

In 1565 the foundation statutes were corrected and additions made. This was done on the original statutes rather than on a separate clean document. They were sent to the Master and Fellows by the then Visitor, Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk on 24 January 1565.

The 1565 Latin statutes were not superseded until a new set was written in 1860. Since then there have been revisions in 1882, 1926, 1957 and 1997.
