called to the bar by the society of Gray's Inn, and his ar...ns may be seen in one of the windows of their hall. [Ref: Foster Yorkshire v1pt1 GASCOIGNE]

Nov 15 1400: appointed Chief Justice of the King's Bench by patent, 2 Henry 6. [Ref: Foster Yorkshire v1pt1 GASCOIGNE]

rendered himself famous by committing the Prince Henry (afterwards Henry V) to prison for contempt of court. When the king heard of this, he exclaimed "Happy is the king who has a judge so resolute in administering the law. Still happier in having a son who submits to it." This even is recorded in Shakespear's play Henry IV, Part II, Act v, Scene 11. It is said "by a resolute and judicious exertion of authority supported law and government in a manner which has perpetuated his name, and made him an example famous to posterity. Lord Campbell writes as follows of this judge, "Never was the seat of judgement held by a more upright and independent magistrate. His refusal to try Archbishop Scrope and Thomas Mowbray, son of the banished Duke of Norfolk, who had died in exile, are two instances of this. He said, 'Much as I am beholden to your Highness and all your lawful commands, I am bound by my allegiance to obey, but over the life of the priest I have not, and your Highness cannot give me, any jurisdiction. For the other prisoner, he is a peer of the realm, and has a right to be tried by his peers.'" [Ref: Foster Yorkshire v1pt1 GASCOIGNE]

1413: retired; when an annunity of 20# a year was given him in a royal warrant issued, dated Nov 14 1414, "granting to our dear and well-beloved William Gascoigne, an allowance during the term of his natural life of four bucks and four does out of our forest at Pontefract" [Ref: Foster Yorkshire v1pt1 GASCOIGNE]

buried in the south chapel of All Saints in the parish church of Harewood, beneath a splendid alter-tomb, upon which is his effigy and that of his first wife, Elizabeth Mowbray. [Ref: Foster Yorkshire v1pt1 GASCOIGNE]

Shakespeare's introduction of him as chief justice to Henry V is a poetic fiction invented for dramatic effect [Ref: Foss Judges p290]
