Sir William Gascoigne (1350-1416) Chief Justice of England
Sir William refuses to sentence Archbishop Scrope.
Gascoigne's (alternately spelled Gascoyne [1]) reputation is that of a great lawyer who in times of doubt and danger asserted the principle that the head of state is subject to law, and that the traditional practice of public officers, or the expressed voice of the nation in parliament, and not the will of the monarch or any part of the legislature, must guide the tribunals of the country.
17th, 18th & 20th great grandfather to the grandchildren of Vernia Swindell Byars (1894-1985) person number I704
