    He held a command in the right wing at Therouenne in 1513.

    Office:
    For Henry VIII's coronation

    He laid claim to this office, as his hereditary right, in 1514. He claimed the Lord High Constableship as heir of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, who, it was stated, "held the manors of Harlefield, Newnam, and Whytenhurst [Haresfield, Newnham, and Wheatenhurst], in the county of Gloucester of the King by the service of being Constable of England." The judges decided that the office should "have continuance in the Duke notwithstanding that one of the three manors has come to the hands of our Lord the King; for otherwise it will ensue that the Duke will have the two other manors without doing any service for them, and so the Duke is compellable at the pleasure of the King to do and exercise the office." For an account of the confusion into which the judges were led by their misconception of the nature of the tenure of this office, which was not in fact attached to the manors but was an office held in fee; and of the confusion worse confounded in which Law Lords and Counsel in modern peerage cases have been involved owing to their blind acceptance of the decision in this case, see J. H. Round's Peerage and Pedigree (vol. i, pp. 147–166), where an amusing exposure of legal methods is given in the article termed "The Muddle of the Law." See also Appendix D in The Complete Peerage, volume II (1912).
