Iohn Capgraue borne in Kent, an Augustine frier, procéeded doctor of
diuinitie in Oxenford, was admitted prouinciall of his order, and
prooued (without controuersie) the best learned of anie of that order
of friers here in England, as Iohn Bale affirmeth, he wrote manie
notable volumes, and finallie departed this life at Lin in Norffolke,
the twelfth of August, in the yere 1464, which was in the fourth
yeare of king Edward the fourth; Humfrie duke of Glocester, earle of
Penbroke, and lord chamberlaine of England, also protector of the
realme, during the minoritie of his nephue king Henrie the sixt, was
both a great fauourer of learned men, and also verie well learned

remembred, he wrote diuerse treatises, and among others, a booke as it
were of the records of things, chancing whilest he was abbat, which
booke I haue séene, and partlie in some parcell of this kings time
haue also followed; Roger Onleie, borne in the west countrie (as Bale
thinketh) was accused of treason, for practising with the ladie Eleanor

thought, he wrote a treatise intituled, Contra vulgi superstitiones,
also another De sua innocentia; Nicholas Cantlow, a Welshman borne,
