AUDLEY, or AUDELEY, SIR JAMES (c. 1316-1386)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 898 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AUDLEY, or AUDELEY, SIR JAMES (c. 1316-1386) , one of the
original
  knights, or founders, of the order of the Garter, was the eldest son of Sir James Audley of Stratton Audley in
Oxford
 -shire. When the order of the Garter was founded, he was instituted as one of the first founders, and his stall in St George's chapel, Windsor, was the eleventh on the side of
Edward
 , the Black Prince. He appears to have served in France in 1346, and in August 1350 took part in the naval fight off
Sluys
 . When hostilities were renewed between England and France in 1354 Sir James was in constant attendance upon the Black Prince, and earned a
great
  reputation for valour. At the battle of Poitiers on the 19th of September 1356 he took his stand in front of the English army, and after fighting for a long time was severely wounded and carried from the fight. After the victory, the prince inquired for Sir James, who was brought to the royal tent, where
Edward
  told him he had been the bravest knight on his side, and granted him an
annuity
  of five hundred marks. Sir James made over this
gift
  to the four esquires who had attended him during the battle, and received from the prince a further pension of six hundred marks. In 1359 he was one of the leaders of an expedition into France, in 136o he took the fortress of Chaven in Brittany, and was present at Calais when peace was made between England and France in October 136o. He was afterwards
governor
  of Aquitaine and
great
  seneschal of Poitou, and took part in the capture of the town of La Rochesur-Yon by Edmund,
earl
  of
Cambridge
 . He died in 1386 at Fontenay-le-Comte, where he had gone to reside, and was buried at Poitiers.
See Jean Froissart, Chroniques, translated by T. Johnes (Hafod, 181o); G. F. Heitz, Memorials of the Most Noble Order of the Garter (London, 1841).
