Chronicle of St Denis Book 43 Chapter 3. 31 Aug 1422. In the year previously mentioned, on Monday, the last day of August, Henry, King of England, at the place called the Bois de Vincennes, the most delightful castle of the King of France, departed the way of all flesh. Indeed, the cause of his death was an illness of dysentery1, which is called Saint Fiacre's disease, because, as was commonly said, he had wished to transfer the precious body of the said most glorious saint from its rightful place to another, out of disordered desire, gravely offending the Creator and the said glorious saint. And, as is very likely, he had intended to bring that precious body to his kingdom of England. And because the will is considered equivalent to the deed, if one has done everything within one's power, he was therefore to be regarded as a sacrilegious person and a violator of the church.
Anno superius declarato, die autem lune ultima mensis augusti, Henricus, rex Anglie, in loco dicto le boys de Vincennes, castro regis Francie delectabilissimo, viam universe carnis est ingressus. Etenim sui decessus causa fuit infirmitas fluxus ventris, que dicitur infirmitas sancti Fiacri, eo, ut communiter ferebatur, quia preciosum corpus dicti gloriosissimi sancti a proprio loco in alterum ad sui inordinatum affectum voluerat et volebat transferre , Creatorem dictumque sanctum gloriosum grávissime offendendo, et, ut verissimile est, in se proposuerat illud corpus preciosum in suum Anglie regnum asportare. Et quia voluntas reputatur pro facto, si fecerimus quod in nobis est, ideo sacrilegus et ecclesie violator reputandus erat.
