"Though it is probable, that there were occasionally Sub-Constables or Lieutenants placed in charge of the Tower at a much earlier period, the first we find particularly named, as filling that office, was Giles de Oudenard, who held it in the beginning of the reign of King Edward I., under Anthony of Bek, afterwards Bishop of Durham, the then Constable. In the next reign Ralph Bavant is noticed as the Lieutenant of John de Crumwell; and after this period our records frequently make mention of Lieutenants."
