This is an article from Past Medical History, a website devoted to popular accounts of medical history, covering Thomas Linacre's founding of the Royal College of Physicians in London in 1518. Confirmed as a live, real website with this specific article. Its strength is accessibility, giving a general reader a clear account of Linacre's role and the college's founding charter and early powers. Its limit is that it is a popular medical history reference site rather than a peer reviewed academic history, so a specific claim about Linacre's career or the college's early years is better checked against an academic biography or the college's own archival history where precision matters.
