1397 Murder of Thomas of Woodstock
1397 Arrest and Execution of Richard Fitzalan 9th Earl of Surrey 11th Earl Arundel
In 1374 [his father] Thomas of Woodstock 1st Duke of Gloucester [aged 18] and [his mother] Eleanor Bohun Duchess Gloucester [aged 8] were married. She the daughter of [his grandfather] Humphrey Bohun 7th Earl Hereford 6th Earl Essex 2nd Earl of Northampton and [his grandmother] Joan Fitzalan Countess Essex, Hereford and Northampton [aged 27]. He the son of King Edward III of England [aged 61] and Philippa of Hainaut Queen Consort England. They were second cousin once removed. She a great x 2 granddaughter of King Edward I of England.
Around 1381 Humphrey Plantagenet 2nd Earl Buckingham was born to Thomas of Woodstock 1st Duke of Gloucester [aged 25] and Eleanor Bohun Duchess Gloucester [aged 15]. He a grandson of King Edward III of England. Coefficient of inbreeding 1.67%.
On 19th December 1387 an army of the Lords Appellant led by the future King Henry IV of England [aged 20] prevented the forces of King Richard II of England [aged 20] commanded by Robert de Vere 1st Duke Ireland [aged 25] from crossing the bridge [Map] over the River Thames at Radcot in Oxfordshire. When [his father] Thomas of Woodstock 1st Duke of Gloucester [aged 32] arrived with further Lord Appellant's men the King's men were encircled. The King's men attempted to force the crossing of the bridge at which time the only casualties occurred including Thomas Molyneux [aged 49] who was killed by Thomas Mortimer [aged 37]. Around 800 men drowned in the marshes whilst trying to escape. Robert de Vere 1st Duke Ireland narrowly escaped to France.
Around 1390 Thomas Stafford 3rd Earl Stafford [aged 22] and [his sister] Anne of Gloucester Plantagenet Countess Eu and Stafford [aged 7] were married. She by marriage Countess Stafford. She would, eight years later marry his younger brother Edmund Stafford 5th Earl Stafford [aged 11]; an example of a Married to Two Siblings. She the daughter of [his father] Thomas of Woodstock 1st Duke of Gloucester [aged 34] and [his mother] Eleanor Bohun Duchess Gloucester [aged 24]. He the son of Hugh Stafford 2nd Earl Stafford and Philippa Beauchamp Countess Stafford [aged 56]. They were third cousin once removed. He a great x 3 grandson of King Edward I of England. She a granddaughter of King Edward III of England.
Froissart Book 4 Chapter 92. 1397. The resentments of the citizens began to cool, and they offered to mediate between the king [aged 29] and the duke of Lancaster [aged 56], who was mightily angered by the murder of his brother [aged 41]. He bethought himself, however, that as his nephew was married to the daughter [aged 7] of the king of France [aged 28], should he wage war against king Richard, his two daughters married in Castille and Portugal might suffer for it, from the French carrying a war into those countries. The duke was beside forced to change his mind, whether he would or not, from the solicitations of the citizens of London and some of the English prelates, who had been the mediators between the king and his uncles. The king obtained peace, on promising from that day forward to be solely guided by the advice of the duke of Lancaster, engaging never to do anything without first consulting him. The promise, however, he paid not any regard to, but followed the counsels of the rash and evil-minded, for which hereafter he severely suffered, as shall be related in this history. Thus did the king of England gain peace from his uncles for the murder of the duke of Gloucester, and now governed more fiercely than before. He went with his state to Pleshy [Map] in Essex, which had belonged to his uncle of Gloucester, and should have descended to his son Humphrey [aged 16] as heir to his father; but the king took possession of it, for it is the rule in England for the king to have the wardship of all children who have lost their fathers, and are under twenty-one years of age at which period their estates are restored to them. King Richard took his cousin Humphrey of Gloucester in ward, appropriating all his possessions to his own profit. He made him live with him, and the duchess [aged 31] and her two daughters with the queen.
Froissart Book 4 Chapter 92. 1397. The late [his father] duke of Gloucester [aged 41] was by inheritance constable of England; but the king [aged 29] deprived his heir [aged 16] of it, and gave it to his cousin the earl of Rutland [aged 24]. The king now assumed a greater state than ever king of England had done before, nor had there been any one who had expended such large sums by one hundred thousand nobles. He also took the wardship of the heir [aged 15] of Arundel [aged 51], son to the late earl whom he had beheaded in London, as has been related, and forced him to live with him. And because one of the knights of the late duke of Gloucester, named Cerbec, had spoken too freely of the king and council, he was arrested and instantly beheaded. Sir John Lacquingay was likewise in some peril; but, when he saw the turn affairs had taken, he quitted the service of the [his mother] duchess of Gloucester [aged 31], and fixed his abode elsewhere. At this period there was no one, however great, in England, that dared speak his sentiments of what the king did or intended doing. He had formed a council of his own from the knights of his chamber, who encouraged him to act as they advised. The king had in his pay full two thousand archers, who were on guard day and night, for he did not think himself perfectly safe from his uncles or the Arundel family.1
Note 1. For more ample particulars respecting the murder of the duke of Gloucester, I must refer the reader to Mr. Gough's History of Pleshy.
Around 8th September 1397 [his father] Thomas of Woodstock 1st Duke of Gloucester [aged 42] was murdered in Calais [Map] for his role as leader of the Lords Appellant. Duke Albemarle, Duke Gloucester, Earl Essex forfeit. His son Humphrey [aged 16] succeeded 2nd Earl Buckingham.
Walter Clopton was part of the inquiry into his death the outcome of which is not known. A John Hall was executed for the murder.
Froissart Book 4 Chapter 92. [21st September 1397]. The [his mother] duchess of Gloucester [aged 31], her son Humphrey [aged 16], and her two daughters, were sorely grieved when the body of the duke arrived. The duchess had double cause of affliction, for the earl of Arundel [aged 51], her uncle, had been publicly beheaded in Cheapside [Map] by orders of the king. No baron nor knight dared to interpose, nor advise the king to do otherwise, for he was himself present at the execution, which was performed by the earl's son-in-law, the earl-marshal [aged 29], who bandaged his eyes.
On 28th June 1398 Edmund Stafford 5th Earl Stafford [aged 20] and [his sister] Anne of Gloucester Plantagenet Countess Eu and Stafford [aged 15] were married. She by marriage Countess Stafford. She had, around eight years previously, married his brother Thomas Stafford 3rd Earl Stafford who had died in 1392; an example of Married to Two Siblings. She the daughter of [his father] Thomas of Woodstock 1st Duke of Gloucester and [his mother] Eleanor Bohun Duchess Gloucester [aged 32]. He the son of Hugh Stafford 2nd Earl Stafford and Philippa Beauchamp Countess Stafford [aged 64]. They were third cousin once removed. He a great x 3 grandson of King Edward I of England. She a granddaughter of King Edward III of England.
On 2nd September 1399 Humphrey Plantagenet 2nd Earl Buckingham [aged 18] died. He was buried at Waldon Priory and Abbey [Map]. Earl Buckingham extinct.
