Abstract:		 This article follows the career of Sir John Handford, from the hundred of Macclesfield, who, with members of his family, served in France under Henry V and Henry VI. It shows him involved in both military and civil capacities, winning the trust of successive royal lieutenants in France and Normandy and sometimes obliged to defend at law the material rewards of that service. As the evidence shows, it was possible for a man to pursue an active military career, helping to extend and then defend the English occupation of Normandy while, through visits home, maintaining fairly regular contact with his native county and its affairs. In spite of an absence of some thirty years, Cheshire was probably never far from Handford’s mind as, with years of service and ever-growing experience to offer the crown, he became a linchpin of English rule across the Channel.
