Page "Thomas Arundel" Paragraph 7

As the king collapsed into ill-health from 1405, Arundel returned to the front of government.

At one point, he even took the sick king into Lambeth Palace itself for care.

In 1405 – 06 he had to deal with the crisis with the papacy provoked by the king's decision to execute Richard Scrope, Archbishop of York who had participated in the Percy rebellion.

Formally, under Henry IV, Arundel served twice as Lord Chancellor, first in 1399 and again from 1407 to 1410.

When Henry IV's son succeeded as Henry V, Arundel's influence at court decreased.
