(Foster,
Joseph: Pedigrees of the County Families
of Yorkshire, Vol. 2, West Riding. London. 1874)
Koning Richard II (r.1377-1399),
die seun van Edward, the Black Prince,
het sy oupa koning Edward III op die ouderdom van 10 jaar opgevolg en die
regering van die land was aanvanklik in die hande van ‘n council of regency. Sy oom,
John of Gaunt het as regent vir hom
gedien. As jong man moes Koning Richard II die Peasants’ Revolt van 1381 hanteer.
(History learning site) Richard II is by
Pontefract Castle vermoor. Henry IV (r.1399-1413)
was die seun van John of Gaunt. Hy het die
kroon geëis en daarin geslaag om sy magte te versterk, ten spyte van die herhaalde
opstande van magtige adelikes. Hy was
egter nie in staat om die finansiële en administratiewe swakhede te oorkom, wat
uiteindelik tot die val van die Lancastrian
dynasty gelei het nie. Hy is deur sy
seun Henry V (r.1413-1422) opgevolg. Henry V was knighted aged 12 by Richard II
on his Irish expedition 1399, and experienced war early. Campaigns in Wales against Owen Glendywr
taught him the realities of siege warfare.
(Royal family history) Na sy pa se dood het Koning Henry V (r.1413-1422)
beheer oor die land geneem en oorlog met Frankryk aangevoer in die
volgehoue Hundred Years' War
(1337-1453) tussen die twee nasies. Henry V was ‘n genadelose en wrede soldaat,
gerespekteer deur sy tydgenote as ‘n
chivalric warrior. (Royal family history)
Hy het gesukkel om die
ondersteuning van Parliament en die clergy te hou en moes ook onrus van die
baronne hanteer. In order to win support
he had to conciliate the Church by a law for the burning of heretics, and to
make many concessions to Parliament. (Royal family history)In 1377 trou John de Wortley met Elizabeth de la Haye.
Sir Peter de la Hay Knt. de Spaldyngton (the
head of a Yorkshire family of some eminence and distinction) had two wives
named Elizabeth: one died before him, and he was survived by Elizabeth
(Woodruff) (Cresacre) de la Hay. Peter's
daughter Elizabeth, married John Wortley of Wortley, and was the mother of
Sir Nicholas Wortley of Wortley, co. Yorks. Elizabeth (die eerste vrou van John Wortley), dogter
van Sir Peter de la Hay, Knt. was klaarblyklik ‘n begunstigde in die will of
Walter Skirlaw, Bishop of Durham, van 7 Maart 1403/4: ' Item Elizabethae del Hay unam ollam argenti et unum ciphum deauratum.

The sixth generation has "Sir John Savile, knt., of Tankersley," and
his son, grandson, great-grandson, and great-great-grandson, all Johns, are all
described as "of Tankersley." The Tankersley property did not come to
the Savilles until the marriage of the last-mentioned John with Isabel, the
heiress of Thomas de Elland. Sir John was high sheriff of Yorkshire 3rd and
11th of Rich. II and knight of the shire for the said county, (Tankersley) 7th and 8th of the said king: he married Isabel, daughter and heiress of
Sir John de Eland, knt. by whom Sir John Eland, knt and Henry, who married Elizabeth daughter and
heiress of Simon Thornhill, of Thornhill, esq;
who bore gules, two bars gemells, and a chief, argent. Also a daughter Jane, married to John Wortley,
esq. (Watson, John: The History and
Antiquities of The Parith of Halifax in Yorkshire. London 1775) As
early as 1246 (30 Henry III) and 1275 (3 Edward I) there was living at Elland
Hall, near Halifax, a Sir John Eland, and descended from him was a Sir John,
who was concerned in a quarrel which arose between Thomas the Earl of Lancaster
and the Earl of Warren regarding Alice de Laci, heiress of Pontefract,
Lancaster’s wife and daughter of the Earl of Lincoln. That Earl of Lancaster,
grandson of Henry III., was beheaded in 1332, and his wife died in 1348, which
dates give the time about which that deadly feud occurred, one of the results
of which was the passing of Tankersley from the Elands to the Saviles. For
several generations the ancient family of the Elands had their seat at Elland
Hall, on the north side of the River Calder, in the township of
Elland-cum-Greetland, and lived there in great splendour until there occurred
the feud by which the male descendants lost their lives. In 1341 Sir John Eland was Sheriff of
Yorkshire, and is mentioned as being in that year “lord of Eland, Tankersley, Fulbridge,
Hinchfield and Ratchdale”. After his
death and the death of his son Hugh, both in connection with that feud, a
member of the ancient Yorkshire family of the Saviles became possessed of the
estates which had been owned by the Elands.
Sir John Savile, Knight, purchased, in 1350 from the lord of Pontefract,
for two hundred pounds, the wardship of the heiress Isabel Eland, daughter of
the said Sir John Eland, and was married to her at some date prevous to the
year 1399. There is evidence that this
Sir John Savile was son of John and Margery Savile, of Golcar. (https://archive.org/stream/cu31924028079618/cu31924028079618_djvu.txt) Sir
John married Isabel, daughter and heir of Thomas de Elland, through whom
Elland and Tankersley came to the Savilles. Only two children are recorded,
John and Henry, but Thomas, the Serjeant at Arms (see below), was probably
another son. (http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/sources/saville/baildon4.shtml)

Die Wortley familiewapen dateer uit die tyd van Richard II (1377-1399). Dit is aangeteken in Sir Bernard Burkes General Armory.
Ulster King of Arms in 1884.
Die Peasants' Revolt was die resultaat van baie jare se onrus as gevolg van die Swart Dood. Die oorloë met Skotland en Frankryk het baie
geld gekos. Dit het gelei tot die
regering se heffing van drie poll taxes
in vier jaar. The Poll Tax was first
levied in 1377. It was paid by all the population, except beggars and children
under 14, at a rate of fourpence a head. It was levied again in 1379 and 1381.
(http://www.archives.wyjs.org.uk/archives-local-history.asp#tax
)
Met die poll tax van 1379 is daar in elke dorp lyste opgestel van alle
persone bo die ouderdom van 16. Die
bedrag van belasting het afgehang van die sosiale posisie van die persoon. An
esquire paid 20 shillings. Wealthy merchants and rich landowners below the rank
of esquire paid 10 shillings, 6 shillings and 8 pence, 3 shillings and 4 pence
12 pence, or 6 pence according to their financial position. Everyone else over
the age of 16 paid a minimum sum of 4 pence, which equaled a "groat".
A husband and wife counted as one person. The clergy did not pay any tax.
People with filius, filia, son or daughter after their names were children over
the age of 16 who were still living with their families. All other single
persons over 16 represented bachelors, spinsters, widows and widowers. A four
pence or the "groat" was equaled to what the average man could earn
in three days. (http://www.maggieblanck.com/Land/York.html)
Die algehele grootte en struktuur van die gentry samelewing in die West Riding van die laat veertiende eeu
kan verkry word uit 'n ondersoek van die opbrengste van die graduated poll tax van 1379. Dit dui aan dat een en veertig ridders, of
weduwees van ridders, en twintig ryker esquires
wat geëvalueer is teen die ridderlike koers van 20s., grond in die riding gehou het. Daarbenewens het nege
en dertig armer esquires en franklins tussen 3s. 4d. en 6s. 8d.,
betaal, terwyl 'n verdere vyftig individue van verskillende beroepe,
insluitende geregsdienaars, handelaars en ambagsmanne, die gemiddelde 5s. 3d.
belas is.

Die derde poll tax 1381 het vereis dat 'n vaste koers van 12d per
volwassene gehef word. Dit was vir die
kleinboere 'n groot bedrag geld. As hulle nie in kontant kon betaal nie, moes
hulle met bv. met saad, gereedskap, ens, betaal. Teen 1381 het die kleinboere genoeg gehad. As a
result of the revolt the people demanded:
The liberty to buy and sell in all fairs and markets, without being
subject to taxes. The abolition of
villenage (the tenure of a serf to his lord). In lieu of this compulsory service the tenant
paid the annual cash rental of fourpence per acre. (http://www.maggieblanck.com/Land/York.html)
Konflik was die grootste in die suide en die Midlands, waar grondeienaars groter beheer oor hul kleinboere uitgeoefen
het en waar die markproduksie meer gevorderd was. In 1380 was daar Markte by:- Barnsley,
Bawtry, Bedale, Beverley, Boroughbridge, Bradford, Bridlington, Brough,
Campsall, Conisbrough, Cottingham, Doncaster, Elland, Emley, Filey, Gisburn,

Upon Dearne, Wetherby, Whitby, Withernsea, Wortley, en York. Discontent
took the form of widespread refusal of labour services on the part of tenants,
arrears of rent and flight from manors. Increasingly, claims were made for
complete emancipation from serfdom. (Conisbrough Court Rolls http://www.hrionline.ac.uk/conisbrough/find/specimen_1380-81.html) Konflikte in 1381 was met betrekking tot
onbetaalde lone vir ploeg, sny (mowing),
oes dienste (harvest service) en werk
by die meul. Wealthier tenants could hire poorer or landless inhabitants of the
manor to work on their own holdings or to perform labour services they
themselves owed. At the end of the 1380/81 it appears that wages paid by the
lord of the manor for work outside the customary service works were: 2d/day for
light work; 3d/day for heavy work; 4d/day for skilled work (carpentry). Conisbrough Court Rolls

Na Henry IV (r.1399-1413) se dood het Koning Henry V aangehou oorlog

Die
gebruik van knight service as 'n manier
om weermagte bymekaar te kry, het tydens die vroeë 14de eeu uitgesterf. When the monarch needed soldiers he used a

and then between them and their tenants and so on right down to the troops at
the bottom of the hierarchy. (http://www.towneley.org.uk/downloads/TTv4_web.pdf)

might be given of the approach of the enemies in case they should attempt to
make a descent while the king is beyond sea in his wars against France. (https://huddersfield.exposed/api/content/books/ocr/17984/)

In die somer van 1415 het Henry V in Frankryk met ongeveer 10,000
manskappe geland. Sy eerste doelwit was
Harfleur, 'n hawedorp in die noordweste van Frankryk. Die siege het vir ongeveer 'n maand aangehou en
alhoewel Henry die dorp suksesvol ingeneem het, was sy leër erg uitgeput -
hoofsaaklik van siekte. Sy volgende plek
van inname was Calais, maar die Franse leër het hom onderskep by Agincourt op
25 Oktober 1415. Henry V het opgeruk na
Calais met sy weermag van ongeveer 6000 ridders, boogskutters en soldate. Tydens sy opmars was die Franse leër van
20,000 in staat om hulself tussen Henry V en Calais te plaas. Henry
used a narrow front channeled by woodland to give his heavily outnumbered force
a chance. The French deployed in three lines. The first line of French knights
attacked only to be repulsed by the English longbowmen. The second line
attacked and was beaten back, their charge bogged down by the mud on the field.
The third line moved to engage but lost heart when they crossed the field
covered with French dead; they soon retreated. Henry was left with control of
the battlefield and a decisive victory. He soon resumed his march to Calais. (https://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/Hundred_Years.html) Henry
V het vir King Charles VI gedwing om hom sy erfgenaam te maak en trou toe met
