Hall's Chronicle 1492. The King of England (age 35), maturely considering that Brittainy was clearly lost, and in manner irrecuperable, being now adjoined to the crown of France by marriage, which duchy, his whole mind was to defend, protect and confirm, and that Maximilian what for lack of money, and what for mistrust that he had in his own subjects, lay still like a dormouse nothing doing, perceiving also that it should be both to his people profitable, and to him great honour to determine this war without loss or bloodshed, appointed for commissioners the bishop of Exceter (age 40), and Gyles Lord Daubeney (age 41) to passe the seas to Calais [Map], to come with the Lord Cordes of articles of peace to be agreed upon and concluded.

When the commissioners were once met, they so ingeniously and effectively proceeded in, their great affairs, that they agreed that an amity and peace should be assented to and concluded, so that the conditions of the league should be equal, indifferent and acceptable to both parts as after shall be declared.

In 1503 Bishop Hugh Oldham (age 51) was present at the placing of the foundation stone of the King Henry VII Chapel, Westminster Abbey [Map].
