It is said that he was laid to rest in the east end of the south isle in the chapel of St. George in Windsor,and a sumptuous monument is erected to his memory, of alabaster, with pillars of porphyry.
He lies in armour, with his Lady by him, in full proportion, their heads on a pillow, and their hands uplifted as praying ; on one side three sons, in armour, kneeling, and on the other five daughters in the same attitude.
