About this book
Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester is a biography by K. H. Vickers, printed in London in 1907. The book carries a picture of the Duke from an Arras manuscript, and the book is dedicated to kind friends without whose sympathy it would never have been finished.
One passage describes a plot against the House of Lancaster, planned by the Earl of Cambridge, Lord Scrope and Sir Thomas Grey, aimed at the King and his three brothers, Gloucester among them. Gloucester is named among the peers called to the trial. Another passage deals with the Parliament of May 12, when writs told the great nobles not to bring more than their usual number of retainers. The book includes a list of sources, among them works on Henry V and on Jacqueline, Countess of Holland.
