1 C. 49 ‐ Parliament and Council Proceedings. 48/6 [An English account of an arrest of a man in Norfolk in 1405 for spreading news of revolt]. ‘John Payne, esq., and William Plumstead, esq., on the Monday next after Candlemass Day of the 6th year of Henry the king that now is [Monday 21 Sep. 1405], at Walsingham, met with John Kinglsey, and they asked him from whence he came, and he said that he had come out of the north country; and they asked him what things were there. He answered them, and said that there was great debate between the earl of Norfthumberland and the earl of Westmorland, and that they had fought and that the earl of Northumberland had taken the earl of Westmorland, and held him prisoner. On the morowe, the foresaid esquires asked him what tidings out of Wales, and of Owain Glyn Dwr. The said John Kingsley answered them, saying that Glyn Dwr was strong and stronger ... because he saw wages to men that would come to him ... ... The foresaid esquires arrested the foresaid John Kingsley and delivered him to John Skader and Richard Draper, constable of Little Walsingham, for to lead and bring him to the castle of Norwich, there for to tell what the lord King has ordained for his [punishment?]’ [It would be tempting to suggest that John Kingsley had been a tenant or servant of the earl Marshal or Lord Bardolf, and had fled south to their Norfolk estates after the failure of their rising in the north in August 1405. The reference to Owain Glyn Dwr’s ability to pay wages is a convincing illustration of the popular, and well‐ founded, disbelief in the crown’s ability to do the same].
