George de Vere, son of the Earl of Oxford

Researchers,

An interesting result from a Google-Books search: Page 106 - "... In 1458 George de Vere, son of the Earl of Oxford, was allowed to credit towards his Cambridge degree terms in which he attended only one lecture a week..." from A History of the University of Cambridge

Is there a general consensus among those more knowledgeable than myself that this is the George De Vere whose will from 1500 is still extant? If so, I make his birth somewhere around 1437.

Take care,

Hi Kelly

According to Stirnet, citing Burke's Extinct Peerage, George de Vere,
son of John, 12th Earl of Oxford, died in 1503 and was a knight. His
elder brother (John, 13th Earl) is assigned a birthdate of 1442, so
George would presumably be born circa 1443-1444 or later - a 1444
birthdate would not be inconsistent with a nobleman's son taking a
light load of lectures at Cambridge in 1458.

I'm not familiar with the 1500 will you mention - do you have a
reference? (I couldn't see anything in PCC online)

Regards

Michael
