He was bred at Baliol-Coll. in Oxf. where he attained to great Learning, and by H. 6. was afterwards created first Viscount, then Earl of Worcester, and Lord High Constable of England, and by E. 4. Knight of the Garter. The Skies began to Lowre and Threaten Civil Wars and the House of York fell sick of a Relapse. Mean time this Earl could not be discourteous to Hen. 6. who had so much ad∣vanced him, nor disloyal to Edw. 4. in whom the Right of the Crown lay. For an Expedient he quit∣ted his own, and visited the Holy-Land. At Rome (in his passage,) by an Elegant Latin Speech he drew the Admiration of all the Auditors, and Teart from the Eyes of the Pope Pius II. He returned from Christs-Sepulchre, to his own in England, in as unhappy time, if sooner or ••••ter, he had found Ed∣ward on that Throne to which now H. 6. was re∣stored, and whose Restitution was only remarkable for the Death of this Worthy Lord. Treason was charged on him for secretly siding with King Edw. On this account he lost his life. The Ax then did at one blow cut off more Learning in England then was left in the Heads of all the Surviving Nobility. His Death hap'ned on St. Lukes day, 1470. Edw. Lord, Tiptoft his Son was restored (by Edw. 4.) Earl of Worcester, but dying without Issue, his Inheritance fell to his three Aunts, Sisters to the Learned Lord aforesaid, viz. 1. Philip married to Th. Lord Ross of Hamlake. 2. Joan, Wife of Sir Edm. Inglesthrop of Borough green in this County. 3. Joyce married to Sir Edw. Sutton, Son and Heir of John Lord Dud∣ley, from whom came Edw. Sutton Lord Dudley and Knight of the Garter.
