Excerpt from Blood Royal: About May 1384, John murdered "with circumstances of peculiar atrocity, a Carmelite Friar, who had charged John of Gaunt with high treason." Later, in July 1385, "he slew the Earl of Stafford's eldest son, Ralph de Stafford, in the quarrel which ensued between them" and took sanctuary. The "Complete Peerage", Stafford section, states that he killed Ralph De Stafford "in revenge for the death of his favorite esquire, who was killed in a quarrel by on of Stafford's archers." Though the king, Richard II, promised Stafford's father, Hugh De Stafford, that he would not pardon the murdered, in February 1385/1386, he did pardon Holand, his own half-brother, and returned his possessions to him. Stafford's father (who in 1378 had killed Robert Hawksley "in the quire of Westminster Abbey") in march 1386 received license to voyage overseas on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. He died at Rhodes 16 Oct 1386.
