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].

140 ‐ The demands of Henry e. Derby, against Thomas d. Gloucester.

Item ... that the said Humphrey was seised of the castle of Brecon .. with its members, extended at 440 marks annually, which inquiry was conducted in 1373‐4 ...

It was replied to the king in the Exchequer that the issues of the said castle with its members and the issues of the manor of Bronllys, and the lands of Pencelli, which are appurtenances of the said castle of Brecon, which at that time the king granted to my lord of Gloucester the keeping of all the lands late of the said Humphrey in England and Wales. Which lands my lord of Gloucester still occupies, the castle and its members, and taking the issues, from 22 June 1380, when the purparties were made in the k’s chancery between the duke and the earl.

The said castle of Brecon and its members being allocated to the e. Derby to hold as the purparty of his wife who was then was within age.

On which day Bronllys and the lands of Pencelli were members of the castle of Brecon, which appurtenances remained in the hands of the d. Gloucester until the majority of my lady the css. Derby.

It seems to my lord of Derby that he should have the castle of Brecon and its members, entirely as my lord Edward the king took it into his hands following the death of the said Earl Humphrey ...

That the manor of Bronllys and its appurtenances are parcels and members of the castle of Brecon and have beem since the conquest. In 1352‐3, William de Bohun, e. Northampton purchased the said manor from Sir Philip ap Rees and Joan his wife, of which purchase the said William was seised. And that the right to this descended to Humphrey his son. And that after the death of Humphrey de Bohun, e. Hereford and lord of Brecon, it descended to Humphrey, son of William the brother of Humphrey, e. Hereford, as nephew and heir.
