Abstract

The commemorative provision of William of Wykeham (d. 1404), the long-serving royal councillor and bishop of Winchester, was unparalleled in its scope, planning and ambition. As well as establishing chantries at Southwick priory, St George's Windsor, and Winchester cathedral, he founded colleges in Oxford and Winchester. His colleges, extraordinary in their scale, physical magnificence, and liturgical elaboration, should be seen in the context of the highest status foundations of the day, including the royal colleges at Windsor and Westminster.
