3 unusual facts about William Jauderell


William Jauderell

His son Roger Joudrell would later fight at the Battle of Agincourt, and was buried in the church of St James, Taxal, where his grave is marked by a large plaque honouring William and others from the family.

After travelling to England, Jauderell went back overseas, presumably to France where the Battle of Poitiers was happening, and is recorded returning to England in 1356 when he was awarded two oak trees to repair his home at Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire, taken from Macclesfield Forest.

On 16 December 1355, the prince gave him leave to travel to England by means of a pass which his family keeps as an heirloom today.
