28 de ago. de 2020 · Henry VI founded Eton College in 1440 for “25 poor and indigent scholars to learn grammar”. He wanted his subjects to have the opportunities of acquiring knowledge that he had enjoyed, and named William Stokke and Richard Cokkes as the first two boys to have a place.
The foundation stone of Eton College was laid by Henry himself, and many of the documents concerning the establishment of the college are signed and initialled in his own hand. Others are written in the first person, and specify that they were ‘signed with my own hand’.
Eton College was to be the pinnacle of learning, and to enable this, Henry VI ordered that no other grammar school was to be founded in Windsor or within a ten-mile radius.
