Well, I figured that not all of the info would be useful to you, but it was a 
good opportunity to get all of the random bits about the Legal Name Allowance 
into one spot.  :)

Well, there were Welsh mercenaries in France in period.  There's an article 
about names of those men in the 1994 KWHS proceedings (but, as far as I know, 
it has not been put on the web).  The article is:

"Welsh Names in France in the Late 14th Century" [KWHS Proceedings, 1994]

Interesting cultural contact there.  :)
