A Chronicle of England - Page 353 - Gascoigne Refuses to Sentence Archbishop Scrope, James William Edmund Doyle, 1864

William gascoigne, chief justice during henry iv's reign, refuses to allow the king to pass sentences on bishops or peers. Doyle points out that the scarlet robes of the chief justice was an aesthetic choice (it was not the official colour of judicial robes at that point in time). Date: 1864.
