A late 19th Century illustration of Philip VI (1293-1350), called the Fortunate, the first King of France from the House of Valois, receiving King Edward III of England. Philip's reign from 1328 until his death in 1350 was dominated by the consequences of a succession dispute. When King Charles IV of France died in 1328, the nearest male relative was his nephew King Edward III, but the French nobility preferred Charles's paternal cousin Philip.

Discord broke out in the inner circles of court in December 1397, when Henry Bolingbroke, Earl of Derby, and Thomas de Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham, became embroiled in a quarrel. According to Bolingbroke, Mowbray had claimed that the two, as former Lords Appellant, were next in line for royal retribution. Mowbray denied these charges, as such a claim would have amounted to treason. A parliamentary committee decided that the two should settle the matter by battle, but at the last moment Richard stopped the duel and exiled the two dukes instead: Mowbray for life, Bolingbroke for ten years.

Edward of Woodstock (1330-1376), commanded the vanguard at the Battle of Crécy, in 1346. He was named the Black Prince after the battle of Crécy, at which he was possibly accoutred in black armour. In 1356 he ravaged Auvergne, Limousin, and Berry but failed to take Bourges. He presented King John II of France to his father (Edward III), and offered terms of peace terms, but John refused to surrender himself as the price of their acceptance. This led to the Battle of Poitiers where Prince Edward's army routed the French and took King John prisoner.

King Henry VIII at a meeting of the Privy Council, a group of men who were advisers to the King. It included a variety of men including those from the religious sector to very important state offices. After 1540 the 19 members of the Privy Council worked together as a board having letters and warrants signed collectively by them. They sat virtually every day and within it Court and State became as one, for the Privy Council met almost exclusively at Court after the reconstructions of 1536-7 and 1540. It also sat judicially as the Court of Star Chamber on Wednesdays and Fridays.
