¹ Nothing is known about this man. It is likely that his name was Whiting, although Hilton is a possibility. One John ‘Houylton’, esquire, appointed a representative to receive his rents from lands he held in the vicomté of Valognes on 7 October 1421 (Arch. Seine-Mme., Tabellionnage de Rouen, 1421–22, fo. 208v). It is unlikely, however, that this was the same man.

¹⁸ It would seem that the unfortunate Bantalu took refuge some time in 1418–19 at Château-Gaillard where he died before the place, besieged by the English since April 1419, capitulated in November 1419. In support of the contention made by Jean de Paris that Bantalu remained in the obedience of Charles VI there is the remark made by Monstrelet concerning Gaillard ‘qui estoit au roy de France’ (La Chronique d'Enguerran de Monstrelet, ed. d'Arcq, L. Douet (SHF, 6 vols., Paris, 1857 62), iii, 337Google Scholar). If Bantalu withdrew to Meulan in 1418, as alleged by Jean de Paris, this place, too, together with Mantes, was then already held by the duke of Burgundy who had reduced both these places to his obedience, and nominally to that of Charles VI, in September 1417.
