[1185]Wilhelmus, comes Pembrochiae, Cancellarius Univ.
Oxon., natus anno MDLXXX, viii Apr.; obiit anno MDCXXX, x Calend. Apr.—His nativity was calculated by old Mr. Thomas Allen: his death was foretold, which happened true at the time foretold. Being well in health, he made a feast; ate and dranke plentifully; went to bed; and found dead in the morning.
[1186]William, earle of Pembroke, Lord Chamberlain, and Chancellor of the University of Oxford:—
'Natus Anno MDLXXX, viii Apr.Obiit Anno MDCXXX, x Calend. Apr.'—
'Natus Anno MDLXXX, viii Apr.Obiit Anno MDCXXX, x Calend. Apr.'—
I find this under his engraved picture.
He dyed of an apoplexy, and it fell-out right according to prediction, because of which he made a great supper, and went to his bed well, but dyed in his sleep.
He was a most magnificent and brave peer, and loved learned men. He was a poet. There is a little booke in 12mo or 16mo which containes his wife's and Sir Benjamin Rudyer's who was his friend and contemporary.
