  The English could scarcely believe they had lost Normandy. But refugees were swarming across the Channel. Some of the officials found new posts in England, among them a few Normans—such as Raoul le Sage, Seigneur of Saint-Pierre, and the Abbot of Mont-Saint-Michel—while several became royal 'secretaries of the French tongue', employed for correspondence with France. Others were not so lucky. Those who suffered most were the soldiers. Sir Andrew Ogard MP did his best to help troops from his captaincy of Caen ; in his will of 1454 he wrote how they 'came out of Normandy in great necessity as starving beggars'. The chronicler Robert Bate records how a large sum was raised to ship these men to Bordeaux 'to save and keep the King's right there', but the money was embezzled so they had to stay and 'became thieves and murderers in various places of this land'. It was not only the troops who suffered. In 1452 some 'churchmen, nobles, soldiers and others' from Maine petitioned Henry VI for relief; they had had to abandon 'their many benefices, lands, lordships, estates and pensions' in Maine and then during the conquest of Normandy had lost the movable goods upon which they and their families depended and 'at this moment the majority of them are utterly ruined and in a state of beggary'. A note written on the document says that the petition was not granted, adding sombrely that many petitioners had been reduced to destitution, that 'some for grief became ill and died; others were imprisoned for theft and condemned to death by law ; while others still remain, as rebels, in the Kingdom of France'.

  Ogard was a Danish mercenary, his real name being Anders Pedersen. Born about 1400, he was the son of the Knight Peder Nielsen of Aargard, of the great Gyllenstierna family. By 1425 Ogard was serving in Anjou and in 1433 he was made Captain of Vire. He was naturalized in 1436. He served on the Councils of both Bedford and York and was twice an ambassador to the French. In 1450 he was appointed Captain of Caen, which he had the melancholy duty of surrendering. In 1443—in association with Fastolf—he had received a royal licence to 'empark' land near Ware in Hertfordshire and here with the money from his French spoils he built Rye House (to be the scene of a famous plot against Charles II). Sir Andrew's wife was a Norfolk heiress and in 1453 he was elected to Parliament for that county. He died the year after and was buried at Wymondham Abbey.
