Lydgate based his translation, which he began at the request of Humphrey, duke of Gloucester (youngest brother of Henry V), around 1431 and completed in 1438 or 1439, on the 1476 French version by Laurent de Premierfait. 'The long task weighed heavily even on Lydgate, who makes a number of semi-comic references to it, and at some point wrote a begging poem, the Letter to Gloucester (Minor Poems, 665-7), a witty request for funds.' (ODNB). Lydgate was to fall spectacularly from grace in the wake of his wife's arrest for practising witchcraft against Henry VI. He was arrested in 1447 and died shortly thereafter.Appended to this third edition is the first appearance of Lydgate's Daunce of Machabree, apparently the earliest printed version of the Dance of Death in English. The work is illustrated with striking woodcuts which ‘deserve to be ranked as among the best of English sixteenth century wood-engravings’ (Pforzheimer).

Lancastrian France.- Piot (Michiel or Michael of Paris, clerk to Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick and Henry VI's French secretary) Receipt from Michiel Piot, clerk to Richard de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick (‘le Conte de Warewyk’) certifying that on Friday the 17th day of [January] Guillaume le Grant, messenger [messagier], presented certain letters close from the bailly of Caen [Sir Richard Harrington] to the earl, with a box of wood in which was a certain information, of which matters Guillaume had sought certification of their receipt, autograph manuscript signed document, in French, on paper, six lines in a rapid French secretary hand, light damp-stain in lower right-hand corner, two small holes in blank left-hand margin, some slight creasing, late eighteenth- or early nineteenth-century inscription ‘19. janvier 1437’ in upper left-hand corner, in very good condition. 80 x 292 mm., Witnessed by Piot’s sign manual (“mon seing manuel”) followed by his paraph, Rouen, 19th January 1437 [i.e. 1438]. *** Piot worked for the earl of Warwick in the 1430s and later as Henry VI’s French secretary, writing several letters on behalf of the king and Queen Margaret to Charles VII over negotiations for the surrender of the County of Maine. “… Henry VI engaged for his French business a number of French secretaries, who lived in England for considerable periods and probably brought with them families and households that swelled the immigrant population of London and its suburbs. Several of these secretaries chose to stay permanently in England and, like Gervase le Vulre in 1441, obtained letters of denizenship. They were encouraged to do so not only because of the nature of their work, but also because they fell victim to the Valois advance after 1436; some, like Michael de Paris and Jean Rinel lost lands and goods in France and sought recompense in England.” – Ralph A Griffiths. The Reign of King Henry VI, 1981. Sir Richard Harrington (c. 1399-1462), soldier, bailly of Caen, later controller of the Household of Henry VI. Provenance: This document is doubtless from the (Norman) Chambre des Comptes, many of the documents were dispersed in the nineteenth century.

Foxcote was a hamlet 1 1/4 miles distant. It is possible to place the date of this document to the early part of the 14th century from research into the persons mentioned: Robert de Val was Lord of the Manor of nearby Compton Scorpion in 1316; an estate was conveyed by Geoffrey le Marshall to his son Gilbert in 1294. The Lordship of the Manor had been in the hands of the Harecourt family, but was granted by the King to Simon de Montford, Earl of Leicester, whose descendant Peter de Montford held it at this time. The ancient measure of a virgate of land consists of about 30 acres. The messuage had 1 1/2 acres of meadowland attached whilst the seven virgates (210 acres) would be arable land in the open fields, a sizeable holding.
