page 7 note d John Hervy (a mediæval form of Hervey) was, I conceive, of Thurleigh, Beds. He was employed by Henry the Fourth in 1403, in a negotiation with Owen Glendower; and also, as on this occasion, at Constance, by Henry the Fifth. He must have died before 1419, as his wife's second husband is said to have died in that year. He is buried at Thurleigh. See Paper by the Rev. Lord Arthur Hervey on the family of Hervey as connected with Ickworth, Suffolk. Lowestoft, 1858, pp. 54, 55, 110, 111. Collins's Peerage, iv. 141.
page 7 note e Benedict was of the blood royal of Aragon. He was at this time 78 years of age, and is said to have harangued the emperor for seven consecutive hours, “sans qu'il parut aucane alteration dans sa voix, ni sur son visage.”—L'Enfant, p. 355. Benedict never submitted to the Council, and never despaired of his own cause. He retired to the fortress of Peniscola, on the coast of Valencia, and thence, from his own centre of unity, excommunicated Ferdinand King of Aragon, regularly, every day, until the King died in 1416. Benedict survived until 1424.—L'Enfant, pp. 366, 575.
