the text says ‘Peruke’, I think, rather that ‘Paruke’. Compare the ‘a’ and ‘e’ in Charles.

Yes I agree  :)

I think it really does say "upon his wife" ie in the same grave as her and then "foot of Hugh  ???" explaining where the grave is. I can't decipher the word after Hugh but maybe someone else will be able to.
