'''Magdalene College''' ([[IPA chart for English|pronounced]] {{IPA|[ˈmɔːdlɪn]}}) was founded in 1428 as a [[Benedictine]] hostel, in time coming to be known as [[Buckingham College, Cambridge|Buckingham College]], before being refounded in 1542 as the College of St [[Mary Magdalene]], a constituent college of the [[University of Cambridge]]. The refoundation was largely the work of Sir [[Thomas Audley, 1st Baron Audley of Walden|Thomas Audley]], [[Lord Chancellor]] under [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]]. Audley also gave the College its motto: 'garde ta foy' - keep your faith. Audley's successors in the Mastership and as benefactors of the College were however prone to dire ends; several benefactors were arraigned at various stages on charges of high treason and executed.
