Death
Loftus died in Dublin in 1605 and was interred in the building he had helped to preserve for future generations, while many of his portraits hang today within the walls of the University which he helped found. Having buried his wife Jane (Purdon) and two sons (of their 20 children) in the family vault at St. Patrick’s, Adam Loftus died at his Episcopal Palace in Kevin Street “worn out with age” and joined his family in the same vault. Loftus' zeal and efficiency were commended by James I upon the king's accession.
