THE CAREER OF SIR THOMAS TRIVET(1330-88)

ultimately, he had failed to further English interest in the Peninsula, and as from 1379, Navarre could no longer be used as a stepping stone into Castile. On a personal scale, he seems to have done quite well from the campaign. As Russell notes; 'on his return to England from Navarre, he was well received by Richard II'.¹⁷ The campaign itself had been an excellent opportunity for him to show his military abilities, which were to be later put to use in the Bishop of Norwich's 'crusade' to Flanders in 1383.
