Lound, according to Buxhill, determined to avenge this dismissal and one day, with the help of a number oj soldiers, attacked Buxhill in the lower ward of the castle, an attack which Buxhill claimed he was lucky to have survived and for which he strove to seek compensation Jar goods which Lound was alleged to have stolen.

17 Richard Curson occupied a number of important military positions in Normandy over a period of almost a quarter of a century, and held lands in different parts of the duchy. He was one of those Englishmen who took a French wife (Coll. Lenoir, 75, p. 223); litigation in which he was involved was to be heard in the Norman Échiquier in 1448 (Arch. Seine-Mme., Échiquier, 1448, fo. 425r).
18 Nicholas Molyneux made an agreement to become a brother-in-arms of John Winter at Harfleur on 12 July 1421 (McFarlane, K. B., ‘A Business-partnership in War and Administration, 1421–1445’, E.H.R., lxxviii (1963), 290–310CrossRefGoogle Scholar). By 1426 he was in Fastolf's service, leading soldiers of his retinues in 1428 (B.N., MS fr. 26050/922), acting as his procureur-general in October 1429 (MS fr. 26052/1148), and later receiving an annuity from him. Afterwards he became receiver-general in Maine and Anjou for the duke of Bedford. In the 1440s he joined the service of the duke of York, acted as receiver for his lands in France and as a conseiller and maître at the revived Norman Chambre des Comples in Rouen. Another maître, Walter Smyth (who was dead by late 1438) had married Margaret Molyneux, who may have been a sister (or possibly a daughter) (Coll. Lenoir, 4, pp. 245, 341; Arch. Seine-Mme., Échiquier, 1448, fo. 422v). Molyneux played an important part in the diplomatic attempts to secure compensation for territorial concessions in 1447 (Letters and Papers, II, ii, 634 seq).
