[2] Brokesby accompanied Henry's eldest daughter Princess Blanche to her marriage with Louis III, Count Palatine of the Rhine, at Cologne Cathedral on 6 July 1402, which was arranged to forge an alliance between England and Germany.

[2] Brokesby represented Leicestershire in the Parliament of January 1404, acted as sheriff of the same county later that year and again in 1409.

[2] In 1405 Brokesby mustered men from Leicestershire and led them north to help quash the rebellion of Richard le Scrope, Archbishop of York.

[2] His younger brother Bartholomew was also granted half a dozen archers in June 1415, and was presumed to be present, if not in the royal circle.

[3] Brokesby died before 23 February 1416, perhaps due to an injury or sickness picked up in the Agincourt campaign.
