Talk:Clare Priory

1490?
The Historic England entry for the building states that it was "converted into a college in 1490 by Edmund, Earl of March". As far as I can see there was no English Earl of March in 1490 - the title had been held by Edward V of England so was subsumed into the crown when he became king in 1483; while the last earl called Edmund died in 1391.

Could it mean 1390? Also, I'm unclear what is meant by "college" - an academic college, a collegiate church, something else?

Can anyone offer any clarity? TSP (talk) 10:08, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
