Sir Hugh Calveley (? - 1394), son of David Calveley of Lea and his wife Joanna. Sir Hugh Calveley was one of the most impressive English captains of the period. His magnificent monument can still be seen in the choir of the parish church of St Boniface, Bunbury, Cheshire.

Nicholas d'Aubrecicourt, esquire of Edward III, a knight of Hainault; constable of Nottingham Castle and keeper of Sherwood Forest; he was one of the founding members of the Order of the Garter (1348).
Philippe, known as 'the Bold', duke of Burgundy (1342 - 1404), fourth son of Jean II of France and Bonne of Luxemburg. The duke of Burgundy was a prominent figure in the government of France during the reign of his nephew Charles VI, especially after 1392 when the king began to suffer from recurring bouts of insanity that gave the dukes of Berry and Burgundy the opportunity to seize power from Charles VI's trusted administrators, known as the Marmousets. Philippe married Margaret de Male, countess of Flanders, and this marriage eventually not only reunited the duchy of Burgundy with the 'free' counties of Burgundy and Artois, but also brought the wealthy counties of Flanders, Nevers and Rethel under the control of the duke of Burgundy. Thus this marriage alliance, and the consequent marriages of the duke of Burgundy's children, created the basis for the Grand Duchy of the West, a quasi-independent state rather than a mere fief of the French crown.

The treaty of Tournai was signed 18 December 1385. By this treaty, the city of Ghent was pardoned and her privileges were confirmed; free commerce was granted and the populace's Urbanist allegiance was allowed to remain unchallenged. The Ghenters were required to make just one concession: to renounce the alliance with England; see Nigel Saul, Richard II, p. 140. Froissart recounts the peace agreement at the end of Book II; see Kervyn de Lettenhove, Œuvres, t. 10, pp. 425-6. CHANGE THIS TO OUR BOOK II
