Polydore Vergil. 1422. 4. In that selfsame year, which was the year of human salvation 1422 and the first of Henry’s reign, Duke Humphrey of Gloucester (age 31) married [his wife] Princess Jacobina of Bavaria (age 20), who had been marked to Duke John of Brabant (age 18), still alive. This caused men great astonishment, because, contrary to right and law, Gloucester (age 31) wished to marry another man’s wife. But for Gloucester (age 31) marriage with a wealthy woman counted for more than astonishment or talk. And Dukes John of Bedford (age 32), Philippe of Burgundy (age 25), and John of Britanny (age 32) met at Amiens and renewed their treaty, with the added conditions that they would each fight to defend the others, and all of them would fight to defend King Henry and keep him from harm, and this treaty was strengthened by a new kinship, with Burgundy’s sister Anne (age 17) being bestowed on Bedford (age 32), who was unmarried at the time. When the meeting broke up, he took her to Troyes [Map] and they celebrated a very splendid marriage, and then he returned to Paris. Meanwhile some citizens who lived under English rule unwillingly, seeing that Bedford (age 32) was far away, decided to take Charles (age 18) into the city. Thinking that such an advantage should not be ignored, they advised Charles (age 18) of their plan and announced a day on which he should come to the gates. This scheme made no headway, but rather was the ruin of its authors. Bedford (age 32) came in time, and quicker than the conspirators had expected, and, learning of the conspiracy, he executed those he discovered to be participants therein. After these things, learning from this episode the true disposition of the burghers, with skill and care the duke began to fortify the city, station watches, anticipate French schemes, wishing nothing on his part to be left undone, thinking nothing on their part to be trustworthy.

Around 1423 Humphrey Lancaster 1st Duke Gloucester (age 32) and [his wife] Jacqueline Wittelsbach Duchess Brabant and Gloucester (age 21) were married. The marriage was annulled in 1428.
