Shakespeare's Treacherous Aumerle.- Edward [Edward of Langley, Edward of York], second Duke of York, Duke of Aumale, magnate, the eldest son of Edmund 1341-1402, the fifth son of Edward III, and Isabella of Castile d. 1393, second daughter of Pedro the Cruel r. 1350-69, c. 1373-1415) Indenture by the most puissant prince Duke of Aumale Earl of Rutland & Cork and Constable to William Peytevyn esquire, and Joan his wife of the Manor of Oxeye [Oxhey] and its appurtenances in the county of Hertfordshire without waste of wood on the estate, the duke also agrees to pay William £10 at Michaelmas and Easter, manuscript in Anglo-French, on vellum, 13 lines, in brown ink, indented chirograph at head, 4 small wormholes, folds, browned, red wax seal of Aumale's signet, edges chipped with loss but image strong, 135 x 297mm., housed in a full morocco box, London, 16th October 1398. ⁂ "Take it, brave York." - Shakespeare. Henry V. A document by one of the most important members of the Royal Family in the reigns of Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V. A firm favourite of Richard II, "Jean Creton considered that there was no man alive whom Richard loved better" (Oxford DNB). Despite this favour Aumale nevertheless acquiesced in Henry IV's usurpation of the throne, and was present when Richard was detained at Flint Castle in north Wales. At the first parliament of Henry IV Aumale was subjected to much hatred by the new king's supporters and narrowly avoided being attacked physically. The king resisted his impeachment but he lost many of his titles, including Aumale, and the constableship of the Tower. In 1399 he was caught up in a conspiracy to kill the king, and at least knew of another plot in 1405. Despite this he held several important offices during the reign of Henry IV. In 1402 Edward became duke of York after the death of his father, and in 1403 was appointed lieutenant of South Wales. The future Henry V, fighting against the Glendower rebellion, praised York in Parliament, he "had served and laboured in such a way as to support and embolden all the other members of the company, as if he had been the poorest gentleman in the realm wishing to serve him in order to win honour and renown". York was also a noted authority on hunting, his Master of Game, dedicated to the prince of Wales, translated the Livre du chasse of Gaston Phébus, count of Foix, with the addition of several extra chapters of his own. With the advent of the reign of Henry V, York fought in the Normandy campaign, commanding the van of the army at the battle of Agincourt, where he was killed, either by a head wound or in "much heat and pressing". His bones were buried in Fotheringhay Church, Northamptonshire. Aumale/York, as the character Aumerle occupies a central position in Shakespeare's play, Richard II. In the play Aumerle is portrayed as a man who is loyal to King Richard and one of the main conspirators against the newly crowned King Henry IV. When his father, the Duke of York, discovers his part in the plot, he immediately informs the king. Aumerle, however, reaches the king first and begs for pardon, which he is given due to his mother's intercession. Aumerle's character makes a brief appearance in Henry V before the battle of Agincourt, this time as Duke of York, requesting that he be given charge of the vanguard, which the king grants. "My lord, most humbly on my knee I beg/The leading of the vaward/Take it, brave York/Now, soldiers, march away: And how thou pleasest, God, dispose the day!" - Shakespeare.
