The court escaped comparatively lightly from the plague of 1349. The king and his eldest son the Black Prince spent sumer months on the royal manors in southwest England well away from the principal centers of population and in an area of the country where the mortality was already passing its peak. But although most of the close companions of the royal family were spared, astonishingly, eventually there had to be an emotional impact that the mass mortality imposed on the royal family and the court. One of the best recorded responses is the arrangements made for the burial of the dead. In 1349 Sir Walter Manny, one of Edward III’s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_III_of_England great war captains, purchased a mass burial ground, the Spital Croft later called New Church Haw, and now the site of Charterhouse. ~ Page 53
