Note 246 — XII. CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE.
Reading edition
That, in 1665, Monmouth resided in Corpus is distinctly stated by Wood [MS. D. 19 (3)]: “Sept. 25, 1665, the king and duke of Monmouth came from Salisbury to Oxon. … The king lodged himself in Xt Ch. … and the duke of Monmouth and his dutchess at C. C. Coll.” They probably continued in Corpus till Jan. 27 following, when “the king with his retinue went from Oxon to Hampton.” I am indebted to the Rev. A. Clark for this reference to Wood’s MS.
