PREFACE. 



This volume contains the Proceedings and 
Ordinances op the King's Council from No- 
vember in the twelfth year of the reign of King 
Henry the Fourth 1410, to July in the tenth year 
of that of King Henry the Fifth 1422 ; a period 
of nearly twelve years. 

As the description which is given of the MSS. 
in the Preface to the first volume, and of the plan 
adopted in arranging them, applies strictly to all 
the articles printed in the following sheets, until 
the commencement of the general incorporation of 
the Minutes into the " Book of the Council ^," 
on the 15th July 9 Hen.V. 1421 \ (which will be 
hereafter more particularly noticed,) it is unne- 
cessary to make any observations on the subject 
The Editor will, therefore, at once resume his brief 
summary of the more valuable and interesting

illustrations of the general History of this country, 
which the documents in the present volume 
afford. 

i2iicn.iv. Few of the Minutes or other articles of the 

twelfth year of Henry the Fourth merit particular 
attention. They consist principally of pecuniary 
arrangements for the defence of the realm, for 
the usual expences of the kingdom, for the royal 
household, and for the expedition which the King 
intended to conduct in person for the defence of 
Guienne ; and of instructions to the ambassadors 
who were sent to negotiate a general truce with 
Scotland and Spain. The draught of the instruct- 
tions issued to the ambassadors who were sent to 
treat for a marriage between the Prince of Wales 
and a daughter of the Duke of Burgundy, throws 
much light on Henry's motive for seeking it, and 
proves his willingness to coalesce with the Duke 
against the Duke of Orleans, by showing that if the 
Duke of Burgundy wished it, he was ready to assist 
him with an army. On the other hand, the Duke 
of Burgundy was to serve against Henry's enemies 
whenever it was required. It is deserving of 
remark^ and more particularly so^ as it shows the 
utility of printing historical manuscripts in the 
most exact manner, that the name of the Duke of 
Berry was joined with that of Orleans throughout 
this article when it was first written, but that the 
former was afterwards erased.^ Arrangements were

made for prolonging the truce with Flanders, and i2Hen.iv. 
it is evident that Henry used every exertion to 
secure the tranquillity of the realm, with the view 
of concentrating his resources for his expedition to 
Guienne. 

The list of the various sources of revenue, 
their several amounts, and of the expenditure, 
afford authentic fiscal information ; whence it ap- 
pears that for the preceding year the expence 
of the King's household was ,£5,415 5s. 3d.j but 
that j£8,000 were paid for it between the ensuing 
Easter and Michaelmas; that the royal chamber 
and wardrobe cost 2,800 marks ; that the salaries 
of the keeper of the privy seal, the judges, barons, 
and other oflScers of the King's courts amounted to 
£2,613 08. lOd.j besides £972 19s. expended in 
liveries to them on St. George's day ; that certain 
Prussians received £1,772 16s. 8d. ; that the ex- 
pence of arresting ships and proclaiming truces 
was estimated at 100 marks ; and that the keeper 
of the King's lions was allowed £120 per annum.* 
It was calculated that the receipts would fall short 
of the expenditure by nearly £4,000 ; and the 
receivers of the tonnage arid poundage and other 
revenues, were ordered to do every thing in their 
power to increase the amount of them. For the 
current year, viz. from Michaelmas 1410 to Michael- 
mas 1411, the King was assigned 8,000 marks for 
his chamber and wardrobe ; and £16,000 for. one

fied sums were allowed the Prince for the defence 
of Wales ; to the admiral for guarding the seas ; to 
Thomas of Lancaster as Lieutenant of Ireland ; 
and to other eminent personages for the defence 
of Berwick Castle and the Marches, Calais and 
other fortresses ; and 7,000 marks were allotted 
for the payment of a loan borrowed from the 
mayor and citizens of London.^ 

IS Hen. IV. Nearly all the proceedings of the Council in 

the thirteenth year of Henry's reign relate to the 
expedition which, in consequence of the King's 
illness, his second son Thomas of Lancaster, who 
had lately been created Duke of Clarence, con- 
ducted to Guienne ^ ; to the affairs of that province ; 
and to measures for providing money for the ex- 
penditure of the Kingdom. Application was made 
to numerous persons for suph sums as it was 
thought they could lend. Several prelates, two 
of the companies of foreign merchants, the cities 
of Norwich and Canterbury, and the masters and 
clerks of the Chancery, lent sums, varying from 
100 to 1,000 marks ; and the city of London ad- 
vanced 10,000 marks to promote the immediate de- 
parture of the expedition.® The extremity to which 
the government was driven for supplies, is shown 
by some memoranda intended to be laid before the

King, but which were not submitted to him; i8Hen.iv. 
wherein, after stating that it was necessary to bor- 
row a large sum, it is added " but the mode of doing 
" so is not yet known ;" and the next sentence 
begins in these words : " and because it is not yet 
" known how to find means by which a man can 
" borrow for the wages and expences of the King, 
^ nor as yet how to borrow for the wages of the 
" soldiers who were to serve under the Prince," &c.^ 
The general impression which exists respect- 
ing the character of Henry the Fifth, and espe- 
cially whilst Prince of Wales, is so opposed to the 
idea that he could possibly have been suspected of 
a pecuniary fraud, that it excites surprise that 
he should have been accused of appropriating to 
his own use the money which he had received for 
the payment of his soldiers. In the Minutes of 
the Council between July and September 1412 the 
following entry occurs : " Because my lord the 
" Prince, captain of the town of Calais, is slandered 
" in the said town and elsewhere, that he should 
" have received many large sums of money for the 
^^ payment of his soldiers, and that those sums 
" have not been distributed among them, the 
" contrary of which is proved by two rolls of paper 
" being in the Council and sent by my said lord the 
" Prince, it is ordered that letters be issued under 
*^ the Privy Seal explanatory of the fact respecting 
" the Prince, in that matter/* ^

yi PREFACE* 

14 Hen. IV. The Minutes of only two Councils in the 

1412. 

fourteenth of Henry the Fourth, are preserved, 
each of which was held in October 1412. Nothing 
is noticed in the first, except an ordinance that 
the treasurer and victualler of Calais should appear 
before the Council, and account for the sums 
which they had received and expended. At the 
Council held on the 21st of October, measures 
were adopted for repairing Berwick, and respecting 
the money assigned for the defence of Calais. 

Hen. IV. Nine articles are introduced at the end of 

the Proceedings of the Council during the reign 
of Henry the Fourth, because the exact dates of 
them have not been ascertained, or because 
they were not discovered in time to be inserted 
in their proper places. Most of those articles 
have been already noticed, and the only one 
to which it is requisite to allude, is a highly 
interesting document, illustrative of the condition 
of Ireland in the early part of the fifteenth 
century. 

It appears to be the fragment of a Petition 
embodying the complaints of the Commons of 
Ireland, accompanied by notes explanatory or cor- 
roborative of the different allegations, and giving 
instances of the grievances complained of. The 
date of this document is not known ; and though 
it might be inferred from some parts that it was 
drawn up in the time of Richard the Second, the 
manner in which that monarch is mentioned ren-

ders it very improbable that he was then the Hen.iv. 
reigning sovereign ^ : it is therefore placed among 
the articles of the time of his successor. 

The Commons stated, that when the whole 
of Ireland was possessed by the English and 
in good condition, the people were governed 
by the King's Courts of Law ; that is to say, 
the Chancery, the King's Bench, the Common 
Bench, and the Exchequer, having their several 
jurisdictions according to the laws of England; 
and that the ancient customs and usages of the 
land were properly observed ; but that now great 
part of the country was devastated and destroyed 
by enemies and rebels ; and that in consequence of 
there being so many Commissioners of Oyer and 
Terminer, some of whom were persons learned in 
the law, whilst others were ignorant thereof, all 
pleas were tried before them, as well those belong- 
ing to the Common Law Courts as to the Courts of 
Chancery, to the serious injury of the said Courts, 
the subversion of the law, and against the ancient 
usages of the land. The people were, it is said, 
daily harassed and oppressed by the Commis- 
sioners, particularly in the counties of Dublin, 
Meath, Kildare, and Louth ; they were im- 
poverished by summonses and distresses ; hus- 
bandry was neglected, and tenants were unable 
to pay the rents and dues to their lords ; many 
good towns and hamlets were ruined; several

Hen. IV. loyal persons, as well great lords and other gentles, 
as commons, were so frequently indicted before 
those Commissioners by irresponsible individuals, 
not inhabitants of the counties where the indict- 
ments occurred, that no one knew whether he 
was indicted or not, or whether he had or had 
not been outlawed ; hence they were often an- 
noyed, and compelled to incur great expence in 
law proceedings for their security. In numerous 
cases, the lands of the lords and others were so 
suddenly and secretly seized into the King's hands, 
by the Commissioners, that none knew whether 
his property was seized or not Lands weie 
sometimes kept until three or four days after the 
rent became payable, by which proceeding the 
owners lost it, after which the land was let to farm 
by patents, to the Commissioners themselves, or 
to other officers or Councillors of the King ; and 
great impediments were thrown in the way of the 
proprietors recovering their property by law ; and 
it is added, that the said prelates, lords, gentles, 
and commons were disgusted with their lives, from 
being impoverished and injured by law-suits, as 
by their petition to Parliament more plainly ap- 
peared. 

In the note to these statements it is said, that 
formerly the Commissions to Justices in Eyre did 
not contain more than eight lines at the most, and 
now they contained forty or sixty lines ; and it is 
added, that Justices in Eyre were abolished in 
England by Parliament in the reign of Edward

the Third, because the country would not submit Hen.iv 
to their jurisdiction, an assertion which is not 
borne out by the fact 

The Commons then complained of the exac- 
tions of the soldiers, who took goods and pro- 
visions without payment ; and the conduct of the 
soldiers and kernes in the lordship of the Earl of 
Ormond, is cited as evidence of the truth of the 
allegation. The next complaint was, that, in 
defiance of Magna Charta, many churchmen^ 
lords, gentles, and others of the King's subjects, 
were daily imprisoned, without any legal process, 
and compelled to purchase charters of pardon, 
their property being considered as forfeited, and 
this was done as well by sheriffs, justices of the 
peace, and other ministers of the King, as by 
soldiers. In proof of this statement, it is said^ 
that the Lieutenant of Ireland received 80 marks 
of the goods of the Archbishop of Armagh, and 
that he took to the value of £40, of the goods of 
the Archdeacon of Kildare. Among several other 
instances. Sir Nicholas Alger is said to have been 
imprisoned until the Lieutenant obtained a missal 
worth ten marks, and forty marks in money ; and 
John Tanner, parson of Newcastle, was taken by a 
soldier called John of Liverpool to Grane, thence 
to the castle of Wicklow, among the Irish enemies, 
where he was ransomed for jG5, and a grant of 
lands ; but the next morning, some other soldiers 
went to Tanner's cottage and seized a pipe of wine 
for the Lieutenant's use, broke open his coffers.

Hen. IV. and did what they pleased. He petitioned for 
redress in a Great Council at Naas, but the 
Lieutenant forbad the petitioner's counsel from 
mentioning the subject; and this had occurred 
to many others. 

The Commons also stated, that ever since the 
conquest, such of the King's subjects as made 
any of the Irish enemies prisoners in time of 
war, were entitled to their ransom, but several 
instances where this custom had been violated by 
the Lieutenant's orders, are adduced; that the 
country was greatly devastated by troops of 
kernes and idle people S as well on foot as on 
horseback, who paid nothing for provisions ; and 
that whenever their demands were not complied 
with, they levied distresses, placing the men in 
irons, and retaining their goods until they received 
the money which they asked. 

The Commons of the small county of Louth 
complained that the Commissioners had issued 
an order to assess Aghy Macmahon, and other 
Irish, the King's enemies, on the county, to the 
impoverishment of his subjects therein, and against 
the law, the which Irish refused to accept such 
food as the complainants themselves used ; but 
were dispersed with their " caifs," nurses, and 
children, throughout the country, spying by day 
and night all the roads and fortresses, whence the 
greatest possible mischief might hereafter arise ;

and they therefore prayed that Macmahon and the Hen. iv. 
other enemies might be sent out of the county. 
Complaints were likewise made of purveyances for 
the household of the lieutenants and other go- 
vernors of Ireland, who not only paid nothing for 
what they took, but made their exactions much 
more frequently than was necessary; and by ac- 
cepting money for releasing their seizures from 
some persons, they caused great oppression to 
others* This is said to have happened to the Abbot 
of Melifont, to Sir John Belyng, and to a hundred 
other persons, who did not complain because there 
was no remedy. 

Memoranda occur, on the back of this paper, 
that in the message sent by the Earl of Ormond, 
and in all the letters from him respecting that 
message, to the King's brothers and his Council, 
and to the Earl of March, it was stated that the 
presence of the King was greatly desired in Ire- 
land; and several curious notices are added, 
proving, chiefly on the authqrity of Giraldus Cam- 
hrensis, the right of the Kings of England to 
Ireland.* 

The Petitions of the reign of Henry the 
Fourth, are neither numerous nor of much in- 
terest : to the few which occur the answer was, 
that " the King has granted^ ;" that " the King 
referred the matter to his Council, to do therein

Hen. IV. what the case required S*' or that " the King had 
granted, by the advice of his Council/'^ Like the 
Petitions to Richard the Second, they are generally 
signed by the Peer who had received the King's 
commands on the subject. 

King Henry the Fourth died on the 20th of 
March 1413^, and his son Henry the Fifth com- 
menced his reign on the following day. 

1 HcD. V. The earliest Minutes of the Council of Henry 

^*^^* the Fifth which are preserved contain the opinion 
of a Council held at Sutton on the 29th of June 
1413, that the King should continue, during the 
summer, at some place in the neighbourhood of 
London, where he might receive intelligence from 
all quarters ; that it was necessary to adopt mea- 
sures for the defence of the realm and of Guienne ; 
that, as it was not settled whether the Scotch would 
enter into a truce, the Wardens of the Marches 
should be reinforced by soldiers from the northern 
counties, and that commissioners should be ap- 
pointed to negotiate a truce with Scotland. With 
respect to the treaty to be concluded with France, 
and the reparation of the violations of the old 
truces, it is stated that the Council had deliberated 
thereon, and had recommended that the Bishop of 
St. David's, one of the commissioners in that aftair, 
should communicate certain matters to the King.*

PREFACE- xiii 

Various other points were discussed, connected i Hen. v. 
with trade and with the negotiations with Prussia^ 
Holland, and the Genoese. 



A very interesting statement of the Duke of SHeiuV. 
Bedford, explaining his situation as Guardian of **^** 
the East March and Captain of Berwick, dated in 
May 1414, is the first artide of the second year of 
Henry the Fifth. The Duke commenced by re- 
minding the King of the repeated representations 
which he had made in the late reign, of the state 
of the East March, from the want of proper govern- 
ment. It appears that the marchers and others of 
the King's subjects on the enemy's firontier, were 
in constant danger of attack, without possessing 
the means of resistance ; and that, as an effective 
truce had not been concluded, they were living in 
greater uncertainty and peril, than in actual war ; 
that the walls of the town and castle of Berwick 
were in a ruinous condition, and the gates and 
drawbridges out of repair, that there were no 
cannon, gunpowder, armour, provisions, or other 
means of defence whatever, these things having 
been taken away when the town was burnt and 
sacked io the rebellion of the Earl of Northum- 
berland, so that it was wholly exposed to the 
enemy, and possessed no other resources than were 
provided by the Duke, at his own expence, in 
moments of necessity ; that although the burgesses 
and poor soldiers had so long continued in such 
!incertainty and danger, and endured more priva-

2Hen.v. tions and annoyances than any garrison, not being 
in a state of actual siege, had ever suffered, they 
had received no relief, and upwards of j£l 3,000 
were owing to them ; that the Duke had become 
so impoverished in consequence, that he had 
mortgaged some, and even sold much of his own 
property, coined his plate, pledged his jewels, 
and borrowed of his friends for the relief of his 
soldiers ; that the burgesses had declared under 
their common seal, and the soldiers had expressed 
their determination, by " lettres ragmons," to 
quit the town unless satisfaction were made to 
them. The Duke added, that he had undertaken 
the Wardenship for 1,500 marks a year less than 
was allowed to Sir Henry Percy; that he had 
held the March days, and made reparations of 
violations of the truce for ten years, without any 
remuneration, though his predecessors had re- 
ceived upwards of j£l,000, annually, for those pur- 
poses, which, with other excessive charges, had 
rendered him a ruined manS and had left him 
almost without power to perform any service to the 
King.^ 

Henry having resolved to assert his claim to 
the Crown of France, convoked his peers and 
other principal knights, for the purpose of con- 
sulting them on the subject ; and the advice which 
they offered him, forms the most interesting do- 
cument of this year. They expressed their con-

viction that in so important a matter, the King 2 Hen. v. 
would undertake nothing, excepting it were to the 
pleasure of God, and to save the effusion of 
Christian blood ; but that if he did so, it would 
only arise from the denial of his just right They 
thought it desirable that an embassy should be 
sent to France, to urge his demands, and in 
the mean time, that preparation should be made 
for invading that kingdom ; that the necessary 
measures should be adopted for the safety of the 
realm ; and they added that when those things were 
performed, they were ready to render him such 
services, in person, as they were bound to do, 
and as their ancestors had rendered to his pro- 
genitors.^ 

Early in 1415 Henry finally determined upon 
invading France; and in February, the Council 
made every arrangement for the defence of the 
kingdom and of the sea during his absence.^ This 
Ordinance presents a perfect idea of the size and 
equipment of vessels of war at that period, as well 
as of the number of soldiers necessary for the diffe- 
rent garrisons in Scotland, Wales, and Calais. Two 
ships, each of 120 tons, two barges, each of 100 
tons, and a balinger, were to be stationed between 
Plymouth and the Isle of Wight ; two barges and 
two balingers were to be placed between the Isle 
of Wight and Orfordness ; and one barge and two 
balingers between the latter place and Berwick.

2Hen.v. Each of those ships and barges was to carry 
1414^ 48 sailors, 26 men at arms, and 36 archers, and 
each of the balingers, 40 sailors, 10 men at arms, 
and 10 archers.* 



s Hen.v. At a Great Council which met about Mardi 

or April, in the third year of Henry the Fifth, 
the failure of the mission to France and the reso- 
lution of the King to invade that kingdom, were 
formally announced. The Lords were reminded 
of their offer to serve in the expedition, and the 
Spiritual Peers were thanked for what they had 
granted in Convocation, and they were requested 
to deliberate on the amount which they could lend 
the King. 

The Minutes of the Council about this period, 
will be read with much advantage by those who 
wish to acquire an intimate knowledge of the his- 
tory of Henry's reign. In May, Mordak of Fife, 
the son of the Duke of Albany, was exchanged 
for the son of Hotspur, afterwards Earl of North- 
umberland, who was then a prisoner in Scotland, of 
which affair there are some particulars.^ A curious 
fact is stated, respecting a demand for money from 
the companies of foreign merchants residing in 
London. They were summoned before the Council, 
and informed, that it was usual for merchants who

be committed to prison. Certain sums were asked ; 3 Hen. v. 
but to this arbitrary demand, which was justified 
on the pretence, that as they acquired much money 
through the King's indulgence they ought to assist 
him when he required them, they refused to com- 
ply, and they were sent to the Fleet prison until 
the King should be otherwise advised.^ This 
measure seems to have had the desired effect, as 
the loans were afterwards granted.^ No assizes 
were to be held during the King's absence ; and 
the utmost care was taken to secure the internal 
tranquillity of the realm, and to protect it from 
invasion.® The Duke of Bedford was appointed 
Lieutenant of the kingdom ; and particular atten- 
tion was shown to the state of the walls of Lon- 
don, the mayor being forbidden to do any thing 
respecting the demolition of walls or places in the 
city, without the advice of Whittington, Walderne, 
Chichele, and Crowmere ; and the mayor and 
aldermen were commanded to consult them in 
making regulations for the city whilst the King 
remained abroad.* Few proceedings of the Coun- 
cil during Henry's invasion of France, are pre- 
served, and it is remarkable that in none of them 
is he or his army mentioned. The first time an 
allusion to the King's conquests occurs, is in the 
Minutes of a Council held on the 25th November 
1415, soon after his return, when persons were

A general statement of the revenues of the 
kingdom and of the expences of the military 
establishments for one year, namely, from the 
24tLJune 1415 to the 24th June 1416 ^ contains 
much useful information. In February 1416, 
letters were dispatched to the Emperor, who was 
then at the General Council at Constance, and to 
all the kings, princes, dukes, and other lords of 
the empire, as well as to the kings of Castile, 
Portugal, Arragon, Navarre, and Denmark, but 
the subject of them is not stated.^ 

4 Hen. V. The most memorable event in the early part 

of the fourth year of the reign of Henry the Fifth, 
was the arrival of the Emperor Sigismond in April 
1416, of the preparations for whose reception a full 
account is recorded.* Five or six peers were ap- 
pointed to meet him at each town, on his journey 
from Dover to London. At Blackheath the 
mayor, aldermen, and citizens of London were 
to attend him, and the King was to receive him 
at St. Thomas Watering, half-way between Dept- 
ford and Southwark.

as for the expedition which the King meditated 
into France, are very numerous, and of much in- 
terest. A list of the King's ships proves tliat the 
royal navy of England then consisted of only 
three great ships, three carracks, eight barges, 
and ten balingers S so that on every extraordinary 
occasion it was necessary to impress the ships of 
his subjects ^, a branch of the royal prerogative 
which was attended with so much oppression that 
it gradually fell into desuetude. Several allusions 
occur to the soldiers who fought, and to the 
prisoners who were taken, at the battle of Agin- 
court. By the instructions issued to the Lord 
of Castilhon, Sir Thomas Carew, and Sir John 
Mortimer, who were to serve at sea from March 
to November 1417, they were authorized to make hit. 
war on the subjects of France, Brittany, Castile, 
Genoa, and Scotland.^ Early in March, permis- 
sion was granted to the King of Scots, who was 
a prisoner in England and desired to proceed 
to the North, to be near the persons who were 
sent from Scotland to treat for his release, that 
he might go to Raby Castle, and remain there 
until Easter following ; but it was ordered that 
the Scots who were employed on that mission, 
should be warned to approach Raby by the high

otherwise*^ 

A petition from the King's Irish subjects, 
the date of which is not mentioned, complaining 
of grievances, may probably be assigned to the 
commencement of the year 1417. They alleged 
that the impositions to which they were subjected 
were so outrageous as to compel them to quit the 
country and come to England ; that cattle and 
corn were taken from churchmen by the officers 
and soldiers of the Lieutenant, against the liberties 
of Holy Ciuirch ; and that, in consequence of the 
incompetency of the officers, the laws were not 
properly observed or executed. They therefore 
prayed that proclamations might be made through- 
out England, that all persons being then in this 
country, who were born in Ireland, should forth- 
with return to that island; to which the King con- 
sented, " according to the form of the statute,'' an 
allusion to a statute passed in the first year of his 
reign ,^ Tlie petitioners also requested that the 
Chancellor, Treasurer, Chief Baron of the Exche- 
quer, and the Justices, should thenceforward be ap- 
pointed under the Great Seal of England ; to which 
the King replied, that as soon as the term of service 
of the present Lieutenant, Lord Furnival, was ex- 
pired, he would remedy that part of the grievance 
which related to the appointment of officers.^ So

little is known of the history of Ireland in the ^ Hen. v. 
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, that an apology 
is not required for adverting to a petition which 
was presented to Parliament in 1416 from the 
King's subjects in that island. They stated, that 
Ireland was divided into two nations, the English, 
and the Irish, who were the King's enemies ; aud 
the purport of the petition was, that no Irishman 
should be permitted to hold any ecclesiastical office 
or benefice, and that no bishop who was of the 
Irish nation, should coUate any clerk of that nation 
to a benefice, or bring with them to Parliaments 
or Councils held in Ireland, any Irish servant, on 
pain of forfeiting their temporalties. The King 
and Parliament fuUy granted the prayer of the 
petitionei*s.^ 

The Minutes and Proceedings of the Council ^ ^V^'^' 
in the early part of the fifth year of Henry's reign, 
relate to his expedition into France. Among the 
articles of this year which are of superior interest 
to the others, are the letters ^ from the Commis- 
sioners appointed to treat with the Genoese ^ and 
those firom Henry Beaufort bishop of Winchester, 
who went abroad immediately after resigning the 
Great Seal, on the pretence of undertaking a pil- 
grimage to the Holy Land. The instructions

5 lien, V, gotiate a marriage between the Duke of Bedford 

and Jane the daughter and heiress of the late 
Duke of Bavaria, are also deserving of attention.^ 
As evidence of the power of the King over his 
tenants in Wales, the order of the Council in May 
1417 possesses a claim to notice. A writ of 
privy seal was directed to be issued to the Lords 
of the Marches of North Wales, ordering them to 
deliver to the ministers of the King there all his 
" niefs, men, and tenants " of the counties of 
Merioneth, Caernarvon, and Anglesey, who were 
then within their respective lordships, so that they 
might be sent back and dwell in the King's lord- 
ships wherein they were born.^ 

6 Hen.v. Although there are only three articles of the 
U18 9. sixth year of the reign of Henry the Fifth, they 

are of considerable value to history, as they show 
the King's anxiety to prevent a rupture with 
Brittany^; and contain the reasons which he 
gave to his Council for wishing to support the 
Dauphin of France against the Duke of Bur- 
gundy/ The latter article has, however, been 
already used by an elaborate historian of that 
reign ^, whose labours have not obtained the re- 
putation which they deserve ; hence it would be 
superfluous to say more than that this document

deyelopea in the fullest manner, Henry^s policy, e HeiwV. 
on the. subject, and the state of the two powerful 
factions in France. 

Nearly the whole of the articles of the seventh '7 Hen. v- 
year of Henry's reign, consist of letters from the 
King to his brother the Duke of Bedford, Gustos 
of England, and to other personages, on the 
general affairs of the realm, aa well foreign as 
domestic. Henry was then in Normandy, but his 
attention appears to have been as closely applied 
to the business of the nation as if he had been 
in England. 

The most interesting article of the eighth year 8 Hen. v. 
of Henry the Fifth, is a letter from the renowned 
Sir Thomas Erpingham, who was a member of the 
Council, to the Chancellor, acquainting him of a 
riot which he expected would take place in Suffolk 
between Sir John Howard and Sir Thomas Ker- 
deston, and their retainers, and suggesting that 
measures should be taken to prevent it, by for- 
bidding the parties to have recourse to arms. 
Erpingham concluded by begging the Council to 
send him by the bearer of his letter " such good 
*' tidings as they had out of France and other 
" parts," " the which," the veteran added, " were 
" to me great gladness, joy, and ease in heart for 
" to hear." ^ The Council accordingly directed

8 Hen.v. that letters of privy seal should be sent to Howard 
and Kerdeston, strictly commanding them to con- 
duct their suit in a peaceable and legal manner, 
" solonc Tadvys de soun counseille de ley, et npun 
" pas ove forte mayn,ne en manere de guerre,"^ thus 
affording evidence of a rude state of society, which is 
amply corroborated by the Paston correspondence. 
For the historical information which it con- 
14^21. tains, the writ issued on the 19th March 1421, to 
the Sheriff of the Isle of Wight, is the most im- 
portant article of that year, as it proves that 
England was then menaced with invasion by the 
Spaniards ; and though several other unprinted 
records establish this fact, it does not appear to 
be noticed by historians. The Editor's note^ on 
that writ may save others from the confusion 
which the documents printed in the Foedera from 
the Norman Rolls, between January 1421 and 
December 1422, produced to him. Each of those 
records is dated at Rouen, but it is certain that 
Henry was in England from February until June 
1421 ; and the probability, therefore, is, that many 
of the documents are assigned by Rymer to a 
wrong year. 

9 Hen. V. The earliest article of the ninth year of Henry 

the Fifth which has been found, is a statement 
made in May 1421, of the revenues and expen- 
diture of the kingdom, for one year, on which

subject it affords the fullest information. The 9Hen.v, 
whole amoimt of receipts was only jG55,743 : of 
this sum the Gustos of England received 8^000 
marks ; jG19,119 Ss. lOd. were appropriated for 
the war allowance of Calais and the marches ; for 
the defence of the East March of Scotland, in- 
cluding Rokesburgh Castle, as in time of war, 
£9^500 ; the Lieutenant of Ireland received 2,500 
marks ; and the Governor of the castle of Fronsak 
in Guienne, 1,000 marks; and the Treasurer, 
Keeper of the Privy Seal, Judges, and other officers 
of the King's Courts, were allowed £3,200 175. 6d. 
The Collectors and Comptrollers of the Customs 
and Subsidies received j£821 Ss. 4rf., being rather 
more than one sixty-seventh part of the whole 
receipts. The " Pension List " formed a very 
heavy item in the expenditure, as no less than 
<£12,125 16$. lO^df., being nearly one fiflh part of 
the whole annual revenue, was paid in annuities 
to dukes, earls, knights, and other persons. 

The sum total of these charges on the revenue 
was £52,235, leaving a surplus of j£3,507, out of 
which it was necessary to make provision for the 
chamber, household, and wardrobe of the King 
and Queen ; for the King's works ; for building a 
new tower at Portsmouth ; for the Clerk of the 
King's ships ; for the Keeper of the King's lions 
in the Tower of London ; for artillery and other 
materiel of war ; for the Keeper and the support 
of, the King's prisoners ; for embassies ; for mes- 
sengers, parchment, and other necessaries ; and

^1421-2^ for the expences of the Duchess of Holland ; but 
the old debts of Harfleur and Calais, and the old 
debts of the King's wardrobe, household, ships, 
Clerk of the works, the arrears of annual fees, the 
executors of the will of Henry the Fourth, and the 
debts of the King whilst he was Prince of Wales S 
still remained unprovided for. 

The account of the expence of conveying 
Arthur Count of Richmond, and afterwards Duke 
of Brittany, who was taken prisoner at Agincourt, 
from London to France about this time, will well 
repay perusal.^ As no notice occurs in any records 
hitherto printed, of an embassy having been sent 
to the King of Arragon in 1421, the copy of the 
Instruction issued to the ambassadors, presents new 
facts for the history of the period. It appears that 
the object of the mission was to prevent that 
monarch from joining the King's enemies.^ 

The " Book of the Council," * or general in- 
corporation of the Minutes of its proceedings in 
a Register, commences with Trinity Term^ in 
this year, and the first entry is on the 1st July 
9 Hen. V. 1421. Every act of the Council, of 
which many are still extant, was written on a

present, excepting the officers. Those documents 4 Hen. v. 

1421-2 

were afterwards copied into the General Register or 
Book of the Council, with no other alteration than a 
slight change in the form ; but instead of retaining 
the names of the members as signatures^ each entry, 
after the accession of Henry the Sixth, states what 
members were present on the occasion. No other 
attention to chronological order was observed in 
entering the acts of the Council, than by placing 
them under the year of the King's reign in which 
they occurred ; and it is not unusual to find a 
proceeding which took place in May, preceded by 
one in June, and followed by another in February 
or March, in the same year. In this work, how- 
ever, they are inserted in strict chronological 
order ; and such other proceedings of the Council 
as have been discovered, are introduced into their 
proper places. 

The Editor is obliged to defer any farther 
remarks on the nature of the " Book of the Council" 
until the whole of it shall have been printed, lest his 
present impressions respecting the cause of certain 
proceedings of the Council being altogether omitted 
therein, and of the occasional omission of any 
entry for several days or weeks, may be erroneous. 
The " Book of the Council " seems to have been 
kept by the Clerk of the Council, on whose office 
;some remarks will be found in the Preface to the 
First Volume.*

9Hen.v. The earliest entry in the " Book of the 

1421-2. CQuncil " relates to the celebrated dispute between 
the Countess of Warwick, the daughter and heiress 
pf Thomas fifth Lord Berkeley, and Sir James 
Berkeley, the cousin and heir male of that noble- 
man, respecting their rights to the lands of the 
Berkeley family. The rude state of society at the 
period is shown in a striking manner by one of 
the complaints made by the Countess of Warwick 
against Sir James Berkeley. She stated that he 
had placed armed men in the rectory of Wotton, to 
prevent her from entering it ; that, on her passing 
the place, an arrow was shot at her, and that he 
shouted out "Bawes," "Bawesj"^ probably *'Bows," 
" Bows," being an order to the Bow-men to use 
their weapons. A gold crown, richly adorned with 
jewels, was delivered to the Bishop of Winchester 
by the Treasurer on the 2d July^, as security 
for money which he had lent to the King. The 
Mayor and Aldermen of London, on being charged 
with having appropriated to their own use certain 
sums which had been forfeited in the City Courts 
for usury, claimed a prescriptive right to do so ; 
and they alleged that they possessed the power 
of making by-laws.® An example of the atten- 
tion which Henry the Fifth paid to business, is 
afforded by reference to certain accounts, in many 
parts of which he is said to have written with his 
own hand " ad inquirendum,'' marking the places

with a black spot ; and a similar inference is justi- 9 Hen. v. 
fied by the minuteness of some of his answers to 
petitions.^ 

Most of the notices of the general business 
of the kingdom, transacted by the Council, are of 
much interest, and will be found of important 
service to historians ; but those proceedings are so 
fully abstracted in the Chronological Catalogue, 
that it is only necesary to refer to it. 

The arbitrary power of the Crown is shown 
in a particular manner in the case of Nicholas 
Thorley, an esquire, who had married the Countess 
of Oxford without the King's licence. For this 
offence he was summoned before the Council, 
and having acknowledged the fact, he was, by 
Henry's commands, which he had expressly sent 
from France, committed to the Tower, to be 
there kept in irons. All his lands were seized^ 
and it appears that he did not obtain his release 
until February 1424, when he paid the value of 
his wife's dower for one year, to be pardoned his 
transgression.* The cruelty with which prisoners 
were sometimes treated, is proved by a petition 
from the wife of Sir John Mortimer, who was 
then in the Tower on a charge of high treason, 
for which he was afterwards executed. She 
stated, that by directions of the Duke of Bedford, 
her husband was committed to " dure '' prison 
in the Tower of London, under ground, without

^u^-Z ^^^her light or air, and could not long exist; 
and she prayed that he might be removed to 
the prison above ground, that he might be called 
upon to answer as to the cause of his imprison- 
ment, and that part of his property might be 
assigned for her support,^ The case of Sir Hugh 
Ansley likewise merits attention, as an example 
of the power exercised by the Council over the 
liberties and property of a subject. He had en- 
gaged to serve in the army in France, but having 
remained in England, he was brought before the 
Council, committed to the Fleet prison, and his 
lands were seized into the King's hands.^ 

Various proceedings are recorded respecting 
the Coinage ; and a fact of some interest to the 
history of the arts occurs, by their bringing to 
light the name of the engraver to the King in 
1421, who, it appears, was called Gisbright Van- 
branburgh.® These entries afford much inform- 
ation on the subject of the coinage, of which little 
has been hitherto known/ 

Queen Katherine having determined to ']pro- 
14.22. ceed to France, to join her consort, in the spring 
of 1422, arrangements were made by the Council 
for the purpose,*^ It is, perhaps, deserving of 
remark, in illustration of the state of an army at 
the period, that the Minutes of a Council held in 
May in this year establish, that the usual proportion

The last Council of the reign of King Henry 
the Fifth of which the Minutes are preserved, was 
held on the 13th July 1422, about six weeks before 
the King's death, as Henry expired at Bois de Vin- 
cennes, near Paris, on the 31st August following.^ 

Henry the Fifth's answers to the Petitions 
presented to him, often described the particular 
manner in which the petitioners' requests were 
to be complied with^; and, in one instance, in- 
stead of the usual words, " Le Roy la grant," " Le 
Roy le voute " occurs/ Some of those petitions 
are of much interest ^ ; and the contents of 
this volume, generally, must be considered to 
afford highly valuable materials for a history of 
the reign of one of the most distinguished of 
English monarchs.

il%, 2 Hen. V. 141 4'.— Statement of the Duke of Bedford, Warden 
of the East March and captain of Berwick, to the King and Council, 
reminding them how frequently during the preceding reign he had 
informed them of the misgovernment of the said March, chiefly in 
these points ; viz. that the inhabitants thereof being always liable to 
incursions from the Scotch, no provision was made for their defence 
in case of war, nor any effectual truce entered into ; — that the walls, 
gates, and drawbridges of the town of Berwick were in a dilapi- 
dated state, and that no stores of <;annon, gunpowder, armour, artil- 
lery, provisions, or other things requisite for the defence thereof had 
been supplied since the town was burnt and sacked in the rebellion 
of the Earl of Northumberland, on which occasion they had been 
removed ; — that although the inhabitants and poor soldiers of 
Berwick had sustained greater hardships than those of any other 
garrison, not being in a state of siege, they had received no relief, 
and arrears of upwards of jf] 3,000 were owing to them; — that in 
consequence of nonpayment, he, the Duke of Bedford, the Warden, 
was so impoverished that he had sold some, and mortgaged a great 
part of the rest of his property, coined his plate, pawned his jewels, 
and borrowed of his friends, for the assistance of the soldiers, and 
unless something were done towards his relief he should be dis- 
graced, and bis servants and friends endangered on his account ; — 
that the burgesses under their common seals, and the soldiers by 
** round robins,'* had plainly expressed their determination to leave 
the town unless speedy satisfaction were made to them. The Duke 
reminded the Council that he had undertaken the wardenship of the 
Marches for 1,500 marks a year less than was formerly allowed to 
Sir Henry Percy, and that he had held the << march days," and made 
reparation of attempts against the truce for ten years, without any 
remuneration, though his predecessors had annually received up- 
wards of jf 1,000 for doing so, which, with other excessive charges, 
had rendered him a ruined man, without power to perform any 
service, to his great grief, because his most earnest desire was to 
render good, honourable, and efficient service to the King

13^* December, 2Hen.V. 1414.— Petition to the King from John Home,

soldiers, being at the siege of Harlech Castle, which siege would have

1 No such proceeding appears on the Rolls of Parliament or in the 
Statutes of the Realm; but in the 22£dw.III. 1348, the Commons 
petitioned that there might be no Justices in £3rre during the war, on 
which the **Grantz*' promised to take the King*s pleasure. The 
Commons then prayed that all manner of Eyres might cease for three 
years, to which the Council consented '* en eese du people," if the 
King were agreeable, unless any sudden necessity for them occurred. 
VidB Rot. Pari. vol. ii. pp. 200. 202 a. and b. In the 45 Edw. IIL 
1371, the Commons petitioned that no Commissions of Eyre or Trail- 
baston might be issued during the war, by which the Commons might 
be impoverished or annoyed, excepting in horrible cases, to which the 
King assented. Bid. p. 305. In the 1 Ric. II. 1377, the Commons 
requested a similar exemption during the war, or for twenty years, but

and probably in the 4th Hen. IV. 1403. Though, strictly speaking, 
this do^utnent doeS not form part of the proceedings of the Council, 
there can be little doubt that it was submitted for its consideration ;

It appears from the proceedings of the Council in July and October, 
4 Hen. IV. 1403, that Sir William Clifford was commanded to deliver 
up the castle of Berwick, immediately after Hotspur's rebellion, but 
that he refused to comply, excepting upon certain conditions. Vide 
vol. i. pp. 212, 214 ; see also p. 229. The following appear to be 
the conditions alluded to.]

1 In the Srd Hen. VI. 1425^ the Earl Marshal again claimed prece- 
dency of the Earl of Warwick, and the dispute terminated by admitting 
the former to the dukedom of Norfolk, as heir to his father. Vide Rot. 
Pari. vol. IV. pp. 265*274<. On that occasion Sir Walter Beauchamp, 
the Earl of Warwick's counsel, observed, '< King Harry the Fourth 
clepte a grete counseille at Westm', wher yat debate was moved 
bitwene my Lord of Kent and my Lord of Arundell, for here places 
in Parlement, as well as yere was debate bitwene my Lord of Warrewyk 
yat nowe is, for whom I speke, and my Lord Mareschall, brother to 
ray Lord yat nowe is, ayenst whos cleme I speke ; and there hit was 
by ye same Kyng ordeigned and determyned, yat my Lord of Kent 
shulde have his plase in Parlement ab9ve my Lord of Arundell ; and 
my Lord of Warrewyk, for whom y speke, above my Lord Mareschall, 
brother to my Lord Mareschall that now is, ayenst whos cleyme y speke ; 
and so were personely set in possession.'* Ibid. p. 267. If Beauchamp 
alluded to the proceedings of the Council in the text, it is singular that 
no notice should occur therein of the claim of the Earls of Arundel 
and Kent, and that he should have omitted to mention the controversy 
between the Lords Beaumont and Grey. 

2 This is the earliest record which has been discovered of a claim 
by one baron to precedency over another. Lord Grey was probably 
Lord Grey of Codnor, whose barony was originally by tenure, and 
whose ancestor is first recorded to have been summoned to Parliament 
in the 27th Edw. I. 1299. The barony of Beaumont was created by 
writ in the 2ndEdw.II. 1S09, but Lord Beaumont*s claim may have 
been founded on his ancestor, the first baron, having been summoned 
as Earl of Boghan, or on his descent from King Henry the Third, an 
idea having prevailed that royal blood gave a right to precedency in 
Parliament. Vide Rot. Pari. vol. iv. p. 268. 

3 Roger Mortimer, 5th Earl of March, (son and heir of Philippa, 
daughter and heiress of Lionel duke of Clarence, third son of King 
Edward the Third,) died in the 22nd Ric. II. 1398, leaving two sons, 
Edmund his heir, who was then about six, and Roger, who was about

Guernsey on the 28th May, 6 Hen. IV. 14.05. Vide vol.i. pp.261, 
276 ; and see Carte's French Rolls, vol. ii. p. 189.]

1 The Parliament alluded to met at Westminster on the 18th No- 
vember, 2 Hen. V. 1414. The Chancellor, in stating the cause of it» 
being summoned, mentioned Henry's intention of recovering his do- 
minions in France, which had so long been wrongfully withheld from 
him, {vide Rot. Pari. vol. iv. p. 34,) but nothing occurs on the printed 
Rolls of Parliament respecting the petition of the Lords and Commons, 
that he would try the effect of negociation before he had recourse to 
arsm. In a Council at Westminster, however, the Peers and Knights 
who composed it made that request. Vide p. 140, aniecu An embassy 
was sent to France, demanding the restitution of the King's rights, in 
July 1414, (vide Fcedera, vol. ix. pp.132, 141, 142, 148,) but it re- 
turned in October following, without having produced any satisfactory

Minutes of the Council, Saturday, 6th March, 4Hen.y. 1417^ being a 
more perfect copy of the Memoranda in p. 222, aniea, and containing 
the King's answers. There can be little doubt that this article, as 
well as the Memoranda above alluded to, and the Minutes in p. 228, 
poituLy belong to the $ame year and month, which are clearly shewn, 
by the date to the minutes and writ in pp. 228, 229, postea, to be 
Marchy in the fourth year of Henry V. 1417. The date assigned to 
this article is, however, «* Saturday, 6th March, in the third Henry V.** 
(vide p. 227) : but, from the similarity of the contents of each of 
those articles ; the names of the Members of the Council present ; 
the place where the Council met on both occasions ; and, still more, 
from the fact that the 6th March did not fall on a Saturday in 
the third Hen.V. 1417, and that it did fall on that day in the 
fawrik Hen. V., it is presumed that the word Herz is a clerical error 
for quart']

Transcripe. 

Indenture between William Massy, on behalf of the Lords of the 
Council, on the one part, and Sir Nicholas Montgomery and 
Robert Waterton esq., on the other part, dated 7th December, 
7 Hen.V. 1419. On the 1st of October preceding, the King wrote 
to the Bishop of Durham, the Chancellor, desiring him to take 
measures for the safer custody of the Dukes of Orleans and Bour- 
bon, especially of the Duke of Orleans, and hinting that Waterton, 
in whose charge the Duke then was, might probably be seduced by

U19.] 7 HENRY V, 269 

Orleans's flattery and promises into neglect of his duty. In con- 
sequence of this letter, which is printed in the Foedera» vol.ix. 
p. 801, the Council caused the Duke to be removed to the care of 
Sir Nicholas Montgomery, and the Duke of Bourbon to be placed 
in Watertons charge. See, however, p. ^l,postea. Another letter 
from the King, respecting the safe guard of the Duke of Orleans 
and his other prisoners, which appears to be in his own hand, 
occurs in the Cottonian MS. Vespasian, F. iii. f. 5., and was printed 
by Hearne, at the end of Titus Livius' Life of Henry V., and sub- 
sequently in Ellis's Original Letters, First Series, vol.i. p. l.J

Minute of the Council, 8th June, 8 Hen.V. 1420. It appears that the 
arrangement made in December preceding relative to the custody of 
the Duke of Bourbon, {vide p. 269, anieth) was soon afterwards al- 
tered, and that the Duke was again transferred to the charge of Sir 
Nicholas Montgomery, the Duke of Orleans being committed to the 
custody of Sir Thomas Burton. The Duke of Bourbon was allowed 
to go to France in July 1420. Vide Foedera, vol. ix. p. 923, vol. x. 
pp. 21, 27, 63, 70, 72, 85 ; Rot. Norman. 8 Hen. V. p. 3. m. 4. The 
Duke of Orleans was not released until the year 1440. Vide Foedera,

the probability of a riot in Suffolk : to which the Orders of the

Petition to the Duke of Bedford and the Council from Eleanor, wife of 
Sir John Mortimer, apparently in the 9 Hen. V. 14*21. On the Rolls

'^Me8sage^e " is called << Messyngere ;" but in a third version, printed 
in black letter by John Scot, " Messenger " is merely described as 
^< the second gun." Ibid. Appendix, p. 72. 

As this Petition states that the guns called "Messenger" and "The 
King's daughter " were destroyed in the early part of the reign of 
Henry the Fourth, those names must have been given to others, or 
Lydgate's allusion to them is an anachronism.

[Bibl. Cotton. Caligula, D.v. f.4. contemporary MS. 

The following article, which appears to have been submitted to 
the consideration of the Council by command of the King, belongs 
to the 6 Hen. Y. 1418, wlien Henry V. meditated an alliance 
with the Dauphin of France against the Duke of Bui^undy. This 
document is largely cited in Goodwin's ^< History of Henry the 
Fiflh,** pp. 19S, 194. Ambassadors were appointed to treat with 
the Dauphin on the 26th October, 6 Hen. V. 1418. Vide Fcedera, 
vol. ix. p. 626.]

born on the 22nd February 1403, KS., and therefore he could not

[Additional MS. in British Museum^ 460S. art 82. a modern 

Letter from the King to the Constable and other officers of the Isle of 
Wight, ordering them to take measures for the defence of that 

/ island against the Spaniards, dated at Leicester on the 19th March, 
and apparently in the 8th Hen. V. 1421. In March, 6Hen.V. 141 9^ 
writs were issued to array the whole kingdom against the invasion 
of the King of Castile and Leon (vide Rot. Claus. 6 Hen.V. m. 1, and 
Fcedera, vol. ix. p. 702) : these writs were renewed in August, 
7 Hen. V. 1419 (Ibid. pp. 793-795), and similar measures were 
adopted in the 8 Hen.V., the year to which this document is pre- 
sumed to belong. Vide the printed Calendar to the Patent Rolls, 
p. 267 a. & b. It is certain that Henry was at Leicester on the 
19th March, 8Hen. Y. 1421, as instruments dated on that day 
and at that place are inrolled on the Patent and Close Rolls. 
Elmham, p. 300, and Walsingham, p. 453, likewise state thfit the 
King kept his Easter at Leicester in that year. The Fcedera does 
not contain any document on the subject of the threatened invasion 
in 1421 or 1422, and considerable confusion is produced by a]l the 
instruments which are printed in that work from the Norman BoUsy

in England in February, March, April, May, and part of June in
