dgment of death being pronounced against all his accomplices. A
knowledge of these proceedings only stimulated him to further acts of
violence.

Henry's court was at the Louvre, whilst Charles' was at the Hotel de
St. Paul. The two courts were marked by a wide difference in splendour
and attendance. The palace of Charles was deserted, whilst Henry's was
crowded by almost all the great men of France.

Having now established the government of France, and provided for its
maintenance during his absence, Henry proceeded with his royal bride
towards England. In Normandy he was well received by the estates, who
were assembled at Rouen, and who voted him a subsidy of 400,000
livres. On leaving this place, he constituted the Duke of Clarence his
Lieutenant of Normandy, and gave commission to the Duke of Exeter (p. 285)
to administer the government in Paris.[211] With his Queen and the
Duke of Bedford he reached his native land in safety on the last day
of January, or the first of February 1421; and he immediately
communicated to the Archbishop his wish for him to appoint a day of
public thanksgiving.[212]

[Footnote 211: In the parliament (2nd December
1420), Humfrey, Duke of Gloucester, being
Lieutenant of the kingdom, provision was made that,
should the King arrive, the parliament should
continue to sit without any new summons: the reason
also is given; because the King, being heir and
Regent of France during the life-time of his
father-in-law, and King after his death, would
often be in England and often also in France. In
this parliament a prayer is preferred against the
Oxford scholars, who in vast numbers and armed
attacked gentlemen in the counties of Oxford,
Bucks, and Berks, and robbed them.]

[Footnote 212: On 30th January, the Pell Rolls
record payment of 20 _l._ for bows, arrows, and
bowstrings, a present from Henry to his
father-in-law, the King of France.]
