PREFACE

The printing of these fourteenth century records of Lincolnshire
sessions of the peace is due to Miss B. H. Putnam, who discovered
the rolls in the Public Record Office many years ago and brought
them to the notice of the Lincoln Record Society. The editing
of the rolls has involved the examination of many other documents,
in particular the records of the court of King's Bench, in order
to trace the subsequent history of the cases begun before the j ustices
of the peace. It has been decided to follow the example set by
Mrs Stenton in her volume Earliest Lincolnshire Assize Rolls, and
to print the rolls in Latin, with English summaries of the more
difficult passages in the chief texts. The Latin of fourteenth
century presentments is largely a matter of ' common form ', and
a complete translation would have involved much unnecessary
repetition. Certain conclusions based upon a study of the rolls,
and a discussion of some of the many unsolved problems connected
with them have been attempted in the Introduction.

My gratitude to those who have helped in the work of editing
is intensified by the coiLsciousness of my own inexperience. Special
thanks are due to the late Canon Foster, whose patience and kind-
ness were inexhaustible, and who read both the manuscript and the
first proofs of the book ; to Miss Major and Mr Gibbons, who also
read the proofs ; and to Mrs Stenton, who, since Canon Foster's
death, has taken his place as sponsor of the book. The greatest
debt of all, and one which I can never adequately express nor
fully repay, I owe to Miss Putnam. It was from her that I learnt
the principles of historical research ; she suggested that I should
edit the rolls ; and I have had the benefit of her great learning,
unfailing advice and generous encouragement at every stage of a
work which, but for her, could never have been attempted.

RULES FOR TRANSCRIPTIOIS

III transcribinkr and arranping the inamiscript material I have,
in peneral. f(>ll(nv(«(l tlu' practice of Mrs Stenton in her edition of
The Enrlif.'^t Linroln.ihire Assize Bolls, hut in a few cases it has
tieemed ativisahlr to make niv own rules.

1. The cases in the peace rolls have been numbered for ease
of reference.

2. The extracts from the different King's Bench and Gaol
Delivery rolls which form the Appendixes have been grouped
t4ipether according to the peace roll cases to which they refer and
the groiips numbered with Roman numerals.

3. The only punctuation which has been introduced is the
placing of a full stop before capital letters where these obviously
indicate the beginning of sentence. Long passages, such as the
commissions of the peace and some of the King's Bench trials,
have been broken up into paragraphs for the convenience of the
reader.

4. The practice of the rolls with regard to spelling and with
regard to i, j, u, and v has been followed. Place and personal
names have been extended where possible, but the note of abbrevia-
tion at the end of a name has not been extended.

5. The modern practice in the use of capital letters has been
followed.

6. Interlineations have been placed in round brackets with a
superior ' i ', cancellations in round brackets with a superior ' c '.
Anything added to the legible text has been put in square brackets.

INTRODUCTIOiN

THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL BACKGROUND, 1360-77

The documents to be discussed in the following chapters were
compiled during a critical period, and if their full significance is
to be appreciated they must be studied against the social back-
ground of fourteenth centur}^ England and in relation to the main
political issues of the time.

The year 1360 marks a stage in the reign of Edward III. The
treaty of Calais, which was signed in October of that year, brought
to an end the king's career of military glory, and during the last
seventeen years of his long life the attention of the historian is
focussed, not on the battlefields of France, but on political develop-
ments in England and on the social changes which had been
stimulated by the Black Death of 1349.

These years are divided into two clearly marked periods by
the renewal of the French war in 1369. The earlier period, from
1360 to 1369, was a time of peace and reconstruction during which
the unrest which later became apparent was still below the surface.
Until Queen PhiUppa's death in 1369 Edward's court, as we look at
it through the eyes of Froissart, who entered the queen's household
in 1361 and remained a member of it until she died, was still
characterised by the brilliance of earlier days. The king himself
had not yet lost his vigour and energy, though ' surrounded by a
band of grown-up sons ' for whom he was engaged in providing
by marriages and endowments. From the intellectual and artistic
point of view these years were marked by great activity and by the
growth of a national spirit which had been stimulated by the foreign
war, anti which found expression in the development of a tj^ically
English style of architecture, and in a growing use of English
rather than French as the language of literature and of the court. ^
Chaucer had already begun to write, though his greatest achieve-
ments came after his return from Italy in 1373 ; Langland probably
composed the first version of Piers the Plowman in 1362 ; W^'clilfe
was already launched on a successful academic career at Oxford,
though he did not come into political prominence until 1374. The
country, though not in general as flourisliing as it had been before
the Black Death, was not unprosperous.^ Chaucer, with his genial

new of lifr and of lummn nature, ^ivos an impression of well-being
nnd olu<«'rfiilness atiicni: the upper and middle classes which is,
however, ]\»rtly e(>nlradiet<>d by Lan^land's picture of life among
the i>oor. But even Lanj^jland is eoTieerned with social abuses
Hither than with material sulTering, and there is ' plenty of rough
comfort and ci^irse enjoyment in the England through which
' I>ing Will ' stalkiMi moodily '.'

AUni- all. the recent investigations of Professor Tout have
shown that during these years, and especially between 13G0 and 1365,
the king's ministers, led by \\'illiani of Wykeham, whose dominance
lasttxi from 13(H) until 1371.^ were responsible for ' the most sincere
attempt towards administrative and financial reform made during
the wiiole oi this long reign '.^ Their chief concern was with the
retrenchment and reorganisation necessitated by a long period of
war. lV)fessor Tout has even discovered balance sheets drawn
up by the exchequer for several of these years which testify to a
real and. for the times, remarkable effort, to deal with the problem
of national finance in a business-like way. The importance of this
period from the administrative point of view is best explained in
his own words :

Side by side with constructive movements went the punishment of
dclini|uent officers, and a serious effort to wipe out war-time liabilities
and make the state pay its way from year to year. In result, perhaps
also in intention, a large measure of financial and administrative recon-
struction was attained which, with all its imperfections, showed a real
development of the administrative system into a more complete and
coherent whole. ^

A stimulus to the reforming activity of the ministers was
supplied by the various parliaments wdiich, between 1362 and 1368,
reviewed and criticised the situation. It is of particular interest
to the student of legal history that one of the administrative reforms
suggested by the commons in 1365, but not carried out, was the
fixing of the King's Bench at Westminster or York, ' la ou le
commune Bank demoert (where the common Bench remains) ',
in order that ' les Communes ' might be spared the trouble and
expense of coming before it on its visits to the different counties
and might not suffer ' pur le noun-certeinte de lieu (by reason of
the uncertainty as to place) '.*

All these efforts at reconstruction automatically came to an
end when war with France broke out again in 1369, and during the
last eight years of tlie reign the whole scene was changed. In the
words of Stubbs :

From that date nothing prospered with. Edward. Unsuccessful in war,
luxurious in peace, he seemed to be reversing the glories of his early

years, and. as his victories grew fewer and his popularity diminished,
political questions at home became more threatening.^

It seemed to contemporaries a bad omen that the year which saw
the renewal of hostilities saw also the third serious outbreak of
the plague. In the same year Queen Philippa died and the king,
whose health was beginning to decline, fell more and more under
the influence of his mistress, Alice Ferrers. After one unsuccessful
attempt to get to France in 1372, he seldom moved from Windsor
or from his favourite neighbouring manors. The prince of Wales,
too, was a sick man, and in 1371 was forced to return to England
from Aquitaine, leaving the conduct of the war to his brother,
John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster. ^

In 1371 came the fall of Wykeham and his colleagues of the
peace ministry. They had incurred unpopularity by their conduct
of the war and when parliament met in February, 1371, it refused
to grant a much-needed subsidy until the king agreed to appoint
laymen as his ministers and to replace W^ykeham, the chancellor,
and bishop Brantingham, the treasurer, by Sir Eobert Thorpe,
chief justice of the Common Bench, ^ and by Sir Richard Scrope.
Stubbs sees in this ministerial crisis an anti-clerical movement
led by the young earl of Pembroke, John of Hastings, and in-
directly backed by John of Gaimt. Tout's view, however, is that
there was not so much a clear-cut issue between laymen and clerks
as a dislike of the expert on the part of the ordinary barons, that
the earl of Pembroke, whose importance Stubbs has overstressed,
was the spokesman of the pro-war rather than of the anti-clerical
party, and that John of Gaunt, who was in Aquitaine at the time,
was innocent of anv share in the attack on the ministers. He
points out that the new parliament, which met in November, 1372,
witnessed ' an outcry against the lawyers more marked than the
outcry of 1371 against clerks '* ; the only one of its petitions to
become a statute was directed against the election as knights of
the shire of lawyers practising in the king's courts.

Meanwhile, the war had been going badly since the prince of
Wales resigned the command. In 1372 the earl of Pembroke was
defeated and captured at sea and the English lost control of Poitou.
In 1373 a parliament had to be called to pay for a costly and fruit-
less march through France which John of Gaunt had undertaken
earlier in the year, and the commons, after taking counsel with a
committee of the lords, voted considerable supplies on condition
that they should be spent only on the w^ar. In 1374 the duke of
Lancaster began negotiations for peace and finally concluded an

kind's (if.it h. Diirini: this tiin(\ owiiiiT to the illness of the king
and tijc priiuH" and the ahscnct* of the duke, there was no strong
hand in ctnitrol of the government, which became increasingly
corrupt and inethiient. This corruption in high places, together
with the unsatisfactory state of foreign alTairs, bad harvests and a
fri-sli t>iit break of the plague.' accounts for the general and growing
iiis.>;atisfai'tion whicii at hust found an outlet in the parliament
suinuumed to vole supplies shortly after John of Gaunt's return
from the continent. This was the famous * Good Parliament ',
which sat fnun A})ril until July, 137(), and was the focal point of
these last months of the reign.

Accoriiing to the author of the Anonimallc Clironiclc, ' tiol
parlenient ne fuist unqes eye avaunt ne si longement enduraunt
(such a parliament was never heard of before, nor one of such long
iluration) '.^ However, the chief reason for its importance in the
eyes of the motlern historian is not its length but the prominent
part in its proceedings taken by the commons, led by their able
and courageous speaker, Sir Peter de la Mare. It is clear that
they had no wish to make drastic changes in the government,
but that they were determined to check the slackness and corrup-
ti(»n of certain members of it and, by the removal of definite abuses,
to render it more efficient both in its central and local branches.
Their first step, following the example of the parliament of 1373,
was to ask for the appointment of a committee of twelve lords, in
consultation with whom they proceeded to impeach Lord Latimer,
the king's chamberlain and a privy councillor, Richard Lyons, a
London merchant and a member of the household, and others, for
malversation and fraud of various kinds, including forestalling on
a large scale and the violation of the Calais staple. The}' also
launched an attack against Ahce Perrers, who had used her position
to secure riches and lands for herself and who had been in the habit
of ' maintaining ' suits in the king's courts. Latimer and Lyons
and some of their as.sociates were finally condemned to loss of
office and imprisonment, and the kiiig promised to have no more
to do with Ahce Perrers. The commons had meanwhile secured
the strengthening of the king's council by the appointment of ten
or twelve new members, named by them, without whom nothing
important was to be done and six or four of w^hom were to be always
in attendance. Finally they drew up and presented an immense
roll of petitions,^ a hundred and forty in number, which constitute
a review of the administration in all its branches. Among them
are demands that annual parliaments be held* ; that knights of
the shire be chosen by ' the better folk of the shire ', not merely
nominated by the sheriff without due election* ; that sheriffs be

elected annually and not appointed by the exchequer* ; that justices
of the peace be appointed in parUament, sworn before the council,
and assigned suitable wages^ ; that the statutes of labourers be
enforced' and that the enforcement of the laws regulating pur-
veyance be entrusted to justices of the peace.* In the words of Stubbs :
The petitions prove that the government was ill-adniiuistered rather
than that any resolute project for retarding the gro\\i;h of popular

freedom was entertained by the administrators There was

no strong repressive policy, no deliberate purpose of creating a despotism,
no purpose of retaining unconstitutional expedients for government ;
but, on the other hand, there was no check on dishonesty and extortion
among public servants, nor any determination to enforce the constitu-
tional law."'

It may be worth while to examine in some detail certain of
these petitions which afford specific information as to the prevalence
of lawlessness and breaches of the peace throughout the country
and which are therefore of particular interest in connection with
the justices of the peace, one of whose chief responsibilities was
the enforcement of law and order. The tenth petition complains
of a lack of servants in all the shires of England,
par cause qe pluseurs forts Ribauds mendinent et ne vuillent labourere,
mes par faitene tapissent en Citees et Borghs pur eaise de lour corps
. . . (because many strong rogues beg and wull not work but lurk in
idleness in cities and boroughs for their bodies' ease . . .).
The king, in his reply, after suggesting the enforcement of the
statutes of Winchester,* and * Roberdesmen '' as the best means
of dealing with the evil, orders that those ' strong rogues ' who
pretend to be gentlemen, men-at-arms, or archers injured in the
wars, are to be compelled to ' serve ' unless they can prove their
claim. The two petitions for the enforcement of the labour laws
are couched in even more vivid language. It is complained that
many labourers who leave their masters and take to wandering and
begging
devenent staffstrikers et mesnent auxint ocious vie et communement

desrobent la pitaille en symple Villages et devenent

fortes larounes et encrecent de eux roberies et felonies de jour en altre

ride about armed with great numbers of armed followers.)

Thest^ petitions are confirmed in a remarkable manner by a
passage in Piers the Plowman, the second version of which was
written in 1377. Langland must have had the events of 1376 in
mind when lie described the parliament in which ' peace ' presents
a bill complaining that ' wrong ' has stolen his wife and inflicted
many injuries upon him :

Bothe my gees and ray grys his gadelynges feccheth ;
1 dar nou3te for fere of him fy3te ne chyde.
He borwed of me bayard he brouSte hym home ueure,
Ne no ferthynge ))erfore for nau3te 1 couthe plede.
He meynteneth his men to morther rayne he wen,

And taketh me but a taile for ten quarters of otes ;
And 3et he bet me J?er-to and lyth bi my Mayde,
I nam nou3te hardy for him uneth to loke.3

An examination of the Lincolnshire peace rolls proves that the
picture of lawlessness suggested by the petitions of the commons
and the words of Langland is by no means exaggerated.*

From the pohtical point of view the importance of the Good
ParUament lies in the revival of the old struggle between the court
party, represented by ' the corrupt camarilla of household servants ',^
such as Latimer and his brother-in-law, Lord Nevill, and the con-
stitutional opposition, represented by the commons and the com-
mittee associated witli them. The most prominent members of
this committee were Edmund Mortimer, the earl of March, Wilham
of Wykeham, the bishop of Winchester, and Wilham Courtenay,

of the parties with money, physical force, etc.

and elsewhere.

the bishop of London. The opposition was known also to have the
support of tlie prince of Wales, but he was too ill to take any part
in affairs and, in fact, he died in June, while parliament was still
sitting. According to Stubbs and his school the villain of the
piece throughout the parliament was John of Gaunt, who actively
supported the court faction and ' the corrupt agency of the king's
mistress ' in order to overthrow the influence of the prince of Wales
and gain control of the government.^ In this, as in other respects,
the traditional view has been corrected by the researches of more
recent historians and especially of Professor Tout, who has sliown
that the duke did not come to the fore as the head of the court
party until after the prince's death and the end of the parliament.
Up to 1376 his absorption in foreign affairs had prevented him
from taking any part in domestic politics except to enhst ' rising
politicians and warriors under his banner in order to strengthen
the war party ". On his return to England the incapacity of his
father and brother forced him to play a prominent part, but through-
out the parhamentary session he acted as the king's representative
and 'followed his father's policy of bending before the storm '.^
Tout, in fact, sees no evidence of friction between him and the prince
until the very day of the tatter's death, but sa,yii that the prince
acted as a restraining influence upon him. By degrees, however,
the dictatorial attitude of the commons and their supporters irritated
the duke. Moreover, there was a natural rivalry between him
and the earl of ]\Iarch, the leader of the constitutional party, which
was strengthened after the prince's death by the fact that only
the latter's son, Richard, and March's son, Roger Mortimer, stood
between the duke and the tlirone. He acted very cautiously at
first, but by the end of 1376 he had completely identified himself
with the ' courtier gang ', and during the remainder of the reign
he used his position as head of the govermnent to undo all that
the Good Parliament had done.

No statutes were based on its petitions and the additional
members of the councd appointed at its request were soon dismissed.
The impeached ministers were restored, not only to liberty but to
office, Alice Perrers reappeared at court and the king was persuaded
to make Lancaster and Latimer the executors of his will. Not
content with tliis, the duke proceeded to take his revenge on the
leaders of the opposition. In the autumn of 1376 Wykeham was
convicted of malversation before a special commission appointed
by the government and was deprived of his temporalities, Sir Peter
de la Mare was imprisoned on trumped-up charges, and the earl of
March was practicall}^ forced to resign the office of marshal. Finally,
after various members of the ministry liad been replaced by
partisans of the duke, a systematically packed parhament was

Mununomxi in .Fanunry. 1377, to vote supplies and give tlio govern-
ment ft show of po]iuliir support by presenting petitions asking for
the rwtoration of the vietinis of 137(5.

The Work of the (Jood PiirHivnu-nt was thus completcily over-
llirown, hut events soon showed that .John of Gaunt had carried
his high handed poUcy too far. Before the ' bad parHamont '
disjH>rsed there were signs of a n^volt on tlie part of some of the
lords, wlio refuse<l to assoiMftte themselves with the petitions of
the subservient house of commons. At the same time the clergy,
enraged by the attack on Wykehani, refus(^d to vote supplies until
the liisliop was allowed to take his phu^e in convocation. The
duke retorted by summoning John VVycliffe to his counsels, thinking
that the hitter's growing reputation as an opponent of clerical
aggrandisement made him 'a good enough stick for beating the
recalcitrant clergy '.' Tlie bishops thereupon accused VVyclifie of
heresy and at liis trial at St Paul's in Kcibruary, 1377, an open
quarrel between his patron, the duke, and C'ourtenay, the popular
bishop of London, caused serious rioting on the part of the
Umdoners. who were only prevented from wrecking the duke's
palace of the Savoy by the intervention of the bishop himself.
Shortly afterwards VVykcham was restored to his temporalities by
the king and council in despite of John of Gaunt.

Thus, even before the old king's death in June, 1377, the
duke's power had suffered a decline and, what was worse, he had
incurred the bitter hatred of the London mob, which, four years
later, during the Great Revolt, was nearly to cost him his life.
The period of his greatest influence, which had scarcely begun at
the time of the inclusion of his name in the Lincolnshire commis-
sions of the peace, to be discussed below, ended with his father's
life. He was never again to be so powerful as during the last few
months of Edward's reign.

EXPLANATION OF THE LINCOLNSHIRE ROLLS

It is now nearly thirty j^'ears since Miss B. H. Putnam first
announced her discovery of certain rolls of proceedings before
justices of the peace in the fourteenth century, preserved at the
Public Pvecord Office in the class of documents known then as
■ Assize RoUs '.* At intervals since then she has published further
Usts of similar rolls for many different counties during the fourteenth

and fifteenth centuries/ included among 'Assize Rolls', 'Ancient
Indictments,' and ' Gaol Delivery Rolls '.^ There is thus, at the
present time, a considerable body of comparatively accessible
material for a study of the activities of the justices of the peace
previous to the sixteenth century.^

The preservation of this material among the archives of the
central government, rather than among local and family records,
is explained by a study of the migrations of the court of King's
Bench, which, during the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries,
went on tour at frequent but irregular intervals. Like the Eyre
in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Bench, wherever it
came, superseded all other jurisdictions for the time,* and the justices
ot the peace, in common with other local courts, sent in records of
cases pending before them, in order that these might be ' deter-
mined ' b}' the justices of the Bench. The latter, on their return
to Westminster, would naturally take with them these records,
which thus remained among the other rolls of the central courts.
In almost every case, the dates of the rolls of justices of the peace
in the Public Record Office have proved to coincide with a visit
of the King's Bench to the county concerned, and the trials of many
of the cases recorded in these rolls are found in the coram Rege rolls.

Not only the preservation of the peace rolls, ^ but, in many
cases, their actual compilation is due to the migrations of the King's
Bench. It seems that the records of proceedings before justices
of the peace were formally enrolled only when they were needed
by the court of King's Bench or the chancery. Normally they
remained in their original state — a mass of writs, panels, indict-
ments, and so forth, written upon separate slips of parchment —
in the keeping of one of the justices. Most of them were probably
thrown away after a time, or remained forgotten among other
family papers, and were eventually lost or destroyed.

Of the five Lincolnshire peace rolls published in the present
volume, three— the Holland roll (H), the later Lindsey roll (LL),
and the later Kesteven roll (KK) — were compiled in preparation
for the visit of the King's Bench to Lincoln in 1375. « They consist

ninny of wliich wore suhscqxiontly tried in the King's Bench. The
luvuiini; of the Kestt>ven roll removes all possible doubt as to the
pnq>ose of tiie enrolment :

etc. and delivered by the said justices to the lord kinf^

{coram dotnitw regr) at Lincoln in the octaves of St Michael in the forty-
ninth year of King Edward.

This roll and the Lindsey roll must have been hastily compiled
betwivn the termination of the September sessions of the ]jeace'
and the arrival of the Bench, early in October. The writer of the
Lindsey roll was evidently so pressed for time that he omitted to
enrol the indictments made at the final session on September 20th,
and eontente'd him.self with stitching the two loose parchment
* bills ' upon which they were written to the last membrane of
the roll.

The earlier Kesteven roll (K) is not, strictly speaking, a ' roll '
at all, but a collection of strips of parchment of varying size, similar
to the two ' bills ' referred to above, containing indictments made
at various sessions in 1371 and not ' determiined '. For some
reason — perhaps pressure of time — these were sent in to the King's
Bench in their original state, instead of being neatly enrolled, and
they aiford an excellent example of the tjrpc of raw material from
which the other rolls were compiled.

The early Lindsey roll (L) is less easily explained. It is a
particularly neat and methodical record of indictments for trespass
made in 1360-61,2 with the fines by which they were terminated.
It forms, at present, the first two membranes of a composite roll
of which membranes 3-9 cc>ntain proceedings before a commission
of sewers in Holderness in 1368 (unfortunately so badly preserved
as to be practically illegible), and membranes 10-14 form the
Holland peace roll already described. That tiie three portions of
the roll were originally quite distinct from each other is evident
from the difference in the size of membranes, handwriting, and
general arrangement, and from the fact that the four membranes
of the Holland peace roll contain the original numbering, ' primus,'
' ij,' etc., in addition to the more recently added ' 10 ', ' 11 ', etc.
The only connection between them seems to be that Thomas de
Ingelby, puisne judge of che Kong's Bench from 1361-78, was one
of the two justices who took the fines in Lindsey in 1361, a com-
missioner of sewers in Holderness in 1368, and a justice of the peace
in Holland from 1368-75.3 It is just possible that the Lindsey
record of indictments and fines was compiled for Ingelby's benefit

and was taken by him to Westminster, where some clerk or
archivist of a later date amalgamated it with the other membranes,
upon which Ingelby's name appears. It has, in any case, no
immediate connection with the visit of the King's Bench to Lincoln
and, partly for this reason, is not of such general interest as the
other four peace rolls. Nevertheless, it should undoubtedly be
included in the group, which, taken as a whole, constitutes an
invaluable source of information as to the activities of the justices
of the peace in Lincolnshire during the latter part of the reign of
Edward III.i

THE COlNOnSSION OF THE PEACE

I. THE FORM OF THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY

COMMISSION

During the course of the fourteenth century the commission
of the peace, as the result of many experiments and of a bewildering
number of changes, finally achieved a form which, but for certain
additions and comparatively unimportant alterations, was to remain
practically the same until 1590. This is not the place for a detailed
account of the commission and of its antecedents, but a few words
of explanation are necessary, in order that the Lincolnshire com-
missions for the period covered by the peace rolls may be under-
stood.-

Throughout the reign of Edward III the keepers or justices
of the peace were merely one of a ' multiplicity of agencies resorted
to in the attempt to keep the king's peace and to punish crimes of
violence '.^ Their commission, not unnaturally, had very close
affinities with the commissions issued to certain of these rival
agencies, of which the most important were justices in Eyre, justices
of Trailbaston, and justices of Oyer and Terminer.

The justices in Eyi'e* had already begun to decline in importance
before the end of the thirteenth century, as newer and more efficient

1 Tliree other Lincolnshire rolls for the years 4-19 Richard II, classified
as 'Ancient Indictments' (K.B. 9 61, 62, 63), owe their preservation to a
visit of the King's Bench to Lincoln in the latter year, and will, doubtless,
when examined, prove equally fruitful.

The justiees of Trailhaston were appointed lirst in 1304, for
certJiin eounties only, later, in I3()r) and 1307, for the whole of
Knglnnd. to put down violent l»reaehes of the peace and punish
royal otlieials. The eonneeti«»n l)etween eoniini!ssi<;ns of Trail-
haston and the early (M)ninn.ssions of the peace was very close ;
the latter contained a long ])reanil)le, describing the disorders and
olTenees to be dealt \\ith by the keepers, which was almost identical
in piiraseology with tlu' Trailhaston commissions of 1304 and \'S(J5.^
Commissions of Trailhaston continued to be issued from time to
time after 1307, but the term, coined as a nickname for the enquiry
of 130.>,^ soon lost its technical significance and was applied to
other un])opular commissions with wide powers and similar
phra.seology,* such as those of 1328, for enforcing the statute of
Northampton, and of 1340, for investigating the offences of the
kings ministers and officials.

The justices of Oyer and Terminer (' to hear and determine ')
of the later fourteenth and fifteenth centuries were the lineal
descendants of these popularly named Trailhaston justices of the
earlier fourteenth century. Their commissions might instruct
them to ' inquire of [i.e. to ' hear 'J all felonies and trespasses within
a given area, or of a long list of specified offences '° and to determine
them. Closely related to commissions of this type were special
commissions of Oyer and Terminer, for dealing with some individual
felony or trespass. These were very common at the end of the
fourteenth century, and were usually issued to men who were
already justices of the peace for the county in which the offence
had been committed.

The chief modifications in the form of the commission of the
peace during the experimental j'ears of Edward Ill's reign were
concerned with the power of determining, or trying, felonies and
trespasses. In 1329, 1332, and 1338 the keepers of the peace,
who, as such, lacked this power, were temporarily transformed

^ Ab eyre was proclaimed in London in 1341 but met with such opposition
on the part of the Londoners that it was withdrawn after twelve days (Cam,
op. cit., pp. 79-80). There was also a short-hved eyre in Kent in 1348 (to
be discussed by Miss Putnam in her forthcoming volume).

of Trailhaston, e.specially in their later form, and the fifteenth century charge
to jurors in the sessions of the peace.

^ The precise meaning of the term will no doubt always be a subject for
discussion, but modem writers tend to agree with Maitland's definition :

into justices by its inclusion in the commission ; but it was the
necessity of finding some means of enforcing the ordinance of
hibourers of 1349 and the statute of 1351 which led to the final
developments in this respect. In 1350, 1351, and 1352 the keepers
of the peace were given power to enforce the new labour laws and
to determine felonies and trespasses. This latter power they
continued to exercise during the seven years' experiment of separate
commissions for the labour laws, which began in December, 1352.
In 1359 the separate commissions for labourers were recalled and
in 1362 the enforcement of all labour laws was once more included
in the commission of the peace. Even after this, and in spite of
the statute of 1361, which formally recognised the justices of tiie
peace, the government still hesitated to accept the transformation,
and in 1364 withdrew the final authority over labour laws and
felonies from the commission. This reaction against the justices
proved to be only temporary, however, and in 1368 tne new com-
missions, follo^wing on the statute of that year,^ confen'ed upon
them once more the power of determining felonies and trespasses,
including trespasses against the labour laws.^

Some other developments in the form of the commission, which
had been achieved by 1380, call for a brief mention. One important
change in 1359, namely the omission of powers of array, is reserved
for fuller treatment later. The long preamble in Trailbaston
language had gradually been replaced by a clause for the enforce-
ment of the peace and of the three ' peace statutes ' of Winchester,^
Northampton,* and Westminster.^ The quorum for the deter-
mining of felonies and trespasses probably owed its origin to the
statute of 1344,* which ordered that men ' wise and learned in the
law ' be added to the commission for the determining of felonies.
A phrase was included in the commission from 1361, giving the
keepers power to take surety for good behaviour. In the same
year the statute of Westminster added weights and measures to
their jurisdiction. From 1364 forestalling and regrating were
included in the commission, though without statutory authority,
among the list of offences to be enquired of. Finally, in 1368
for the first time appears a clause addressed to a member of the
commission who was later to be known as the custos rotulorum,
instructing him to keep the writs and records of proceedings before
the justices.

The commission now remained substantially the same until
1380.' The main changes which resulted from the petition of the

2. THK LINCOLNSHIRE COMMISSIONS, 1 359-1 375^

The justices whose proceedings in Ijindsey in October and
Novemher, 13(U), are rworded on roll L were a])poiMted on Decem-
Iht 4ih, 13o!>.^ The commissions issued for all et)uiities on this
dat« are important as marking the final phase of the experiment
of separate commissions of the peace and for labourers. The
commissions for labourers, first issued in December, 1352, had been
recalled a month earlier, on November 4th, although it was not
until November, 1302, that full jurisdiction over the labour laws
Mas included in the commission of the peace. Thus, for the period
fovered by the early Lindsey roll, there was no adequate machinery
ui existence for enforcing the ordinance and statute of labourers.
The commissions of December 4th are important also for depriving
the justices of the peace of powers of array, which in November
had been entrusted to separate commissioners, and which were never
again included in commissions of the peace.* It will be remembered
that roU L is a record of trespasses terminated by fines before
Thomas de Ingelby and John Moubray, a procedure which is ex-
plained by the appointment of the two members of the quorum of
every commission issued on December 4th to ' take the fines '.^

The proceedings recorded in the earlier Kesteven roll and in
part of the Holland roll were held under the commission of July
10th, 1368,^ which is enrolled in full at the end of roll H. Similar
commissions were issued to all counties on this date and may be
summarised in Miss Putnam's words as including :
peace, Winchester, Northampton, Westminster, inquiry into felonies
and trespasses, into all labour laws, weights and measures, forestalling

and rpgrating ; the power of determining felonies and trespasses, with
a quorum for the former, and a clause on the Gustos Rotulorum.^
They marked the end of the reaction of 1364, referred to above,
and represent a distinct stage in the development of the office of
justice of the peace, which had been stabilised as a result of the
experiments of the early part of the reign, and which, during the
last twenty years of the century, was to achieve its final form, in
all but minor details.

The commission for the period of the second Lindsey roll,
issued on July 17th, 1371,^ that for the second Kesteven roll, issued
on December 12tli, 1372,^ and those for the later part of the Holland
roll, issued on February 12th, 1374,* and February 15th, 1375, ^
were all identical in form with that of July, 1368. The unchanged
form of the commission between 1368 and 1380 probably explains
why so few general commissions were issued during these years.
This, in turn, may account for the fact that the Kesteven com-
mission of December 12th, 1372, is not noted upon the patent roU,^
so that, but for the accident of its enrolment upon the peace roll,
there would have been no record that such a commission was issued.
A careless chancery clerk, though he would scarcely be likely to
disregard the issue of commissions for all counties, might well forget
to enrol an isolated commission for one county.

From time to time associations were made to these various
commissions of the peace by supplementary letters patent. In
December, 1370, four members were associated to the Kesteven
commission of July, 1368, in the place of three of the original
members, who had been discharged.' The Holland commission of
the same date was increased by two new members in May, 1369,^
three in July, 1369,» one in June, 1370,i« and one in April, 1373. ^^
The later Kesteven commission received an additional member
in April, 1373, ^^^^d the Lindsey commission of July, 1371, received
two new members in July, 1372,^^ one in November, 1373,^* and
two in December of the same year.^^

The first of these associations to the Lindsey commission
raises a baffling problem in connection with the question of powers
of array. The letters patent of July 12th, 1372 (enrolled upon
the first membrane of roll LL), which associate Robert de Willoughby
and John Poucher to the commission of the peace, describe the

Since the ' kt^'jMTs ' had ceased to hi- merely police oHicer.s and had
IxH'onie criminal law judjics. it is natural that they should he deprived
of their strictly military functions. -

Justices ot the p<Mce were, however, sometimes given supplementary
instructions to array. For instance, in .Nhirch and July, 130i),^
and again in February and November, 1370,* eonimissions of array
were issuetl to all the keepers of the peace a})pointed in 1368 and
13(>1>. Subseipient associations, as enrolled on the patent rolls,

usually refer to ' commissions of the peace and of array '/^

giving no clue that these were separate commissions, but suggesting
ratiier a joint commission such as was sometimes in existence
before ISoO.

The most natural explanation of the reference to array in
the {association of Wil lough by and Poucher would be that supple-
mentary instructions to deal with it had been sent to the justices
«.if the peace appointed in 1371. Unfortunately, no record has
been found of such instructions issued subsequent to the com-
mission itself* ; the earlier supplementary commissions of array
of March, 1369, and November, 1370, were directed to justices
appointed in 1369' and, presumably, ceased to apply after the
issue of the new commissions of the peace. In the face of the
detailed and specihc passage in the letters patent of association of
1372, it is hard to believe that no commission of array had been
issued to the duke of Lancaster and the others. Once more the
most plausible hypothesis seems to be that a careless clerk failed
to enrol it upon the patent roll.®

Another document, fortunately enrolled upon the peace roll,
of which no trace has been found elsewhere, is the letters close

TNTRODI^CTION xxv

of February 15th, 1373, appointing the recently associated Robert
de Willoughby to be ' chief keeper and justice ' of the Lindsey
commission.^ The appointment of a capitalis iusticiarius is of
considerable interest, since very little has as yet been ascertained
about the exact position and duties of this official. The use of the
term may have originated with the system, adopted for a time
in the earh' years of the reign, of appointing ' supervisors ' of the
keepers of the peace in a group of counties. ^ Miss Putnam has
found definite proof that in 1352-59, during the period of separate
justices of labourers, it was customary to speak of one justice
of each commission of labourers, usually the first name on the
list, as capitalis iusticiarius,^ and she thinks that one mark of his
position probably was that he had greater difficulty than his com-
panions in avoiding service.* Willoughby's case throws some
fresh light on the problem. From the letters close it appears that
the duke of Lancaster, the first named member of the commission,
had been chief justice until Willoughby superseded him. The
definite appointment of the latter by the crown would seem to
indicate that the office was one of real importance, and that for
this reason it was found desirable to entrust it to a local magnate
who would have more time and interest to devote to local affairs
than would so great a man as John of Gaunt.''

The letters close contain instructions for sending the * records
and processes ' to Willoughby's residence, which imply that he
was to be custos rotulorum as well as capitalis iusticiarius. The
practice of combining the two offices was, apparently, not unusual
at this time.® It was certainly followed in the case of the earl
of Angus in the Kesteven commission of December, 1372, and of
William de Huntingfeld in the Holland commission of February,
1375. On the other hand, in 1368, when Henry Asty was custos
rotulorum for Holland, the duke of Lancaster was the titular and
William de Huntingfeld the actual head of the commission. There
is, imfortunately, no means of discovering who was custos of the
earlier Kesteven and Holland commissions, or of the Lindsey
commission before Willoughby's association. These commissions
are not enrolled upon the peace roll, and the patent roll, which

IV
THE SESSIONS OF THE PEACE

1. THE DATE AND PLACE OF SESSIONS

The times of the sessions of the peace were more than once
the subject of statutory reguhitions during the fourteenth century.
In 1351 the statute of labourers^ vspecified that the 'justices' sit
four times a year, namely on March 25th (Lady-day), July 20th
(St Margaret's Day), September 29th (Michaelmas), and Decem-
ber 6th (St Nicholas' Day), or more often, at their ' discretion '.
Since joint commissions of the peace and for labourers were issued
shortly after the passing of the statute, this clause may be legiti-
mately regarded as applying to sessions of the peace. The statute
of 1362' established a more flexible but otherwise not very different
schedule, according to which sessions of the peace w^ere to be held
during the week of January 6th-13th (the utas of Epiphany),
tiuring the second week of Lent, between Whitsun and June 24th
(nativity of St John the Baptist), and during the week of Sep-
tember ^29th-October 6th (octave of St Michael)." The place of
the sessions was not '^egulated by statute, but was left to local
custom and the convenience of the justices.

The five peace rolls vary in the extent of the information which
they give as to when and where the Lincolnshire sessions were
actually held. In the early Lindsey roll and the later Kesteven
roll the indictments are enrolled under headings which contain the
date and place of the sessions at which they were made, though
these headings are not arranged in strictly cliro no logical order.
Each of the separate strips of which the earlier Kesteven roll
is composed also records the place and date of the session. The
later Lindsey roll and the Holland roll, on the other hand, are
not arranged under session headings. The former contains a
certain amount of indirect information in the shape of indictments
of townships for fadure to attend sessions, the date and place of

INTRODUCTION xxvii

w hich are sometimes, though unfortunately not always, mentioned ;
the latter is without even this indirect evidence.^

The information supplied by the Lindsey and Kesteven rolls
has been arranged in tabular form below. A comparison of the
statutory dates with those at which the justices actually sat shows
that the inquests recorded in the rolls were held, for the most part,
not at ' quarter sessions ', but at non-statutory sessions, held at
frequent intervals, when and where the justices thought convenient.
These may, perhaps, be compared to the ' special ', or 'privy '
sessions of later times ; in fact, in Kesteven, in 1374, we seem to
see something very like the system of ' monthly meetings ' such
as the seventeenth century Kesteven justices held.^ In all proba-
bility, general sessions were held as well as these non-statutory
meetings. From the early Lindsey roll, in fact, it seems clear that
the indictments for trespass made in October and November,
1360, were terminated at a general session presided over by John
Moubray and Thomas de Ingelby on January 12th, 1361. The
other rolls, which record only ' undetermined ' indictments, naturally
refer only to the sessions at whicli these indictments were made
and not to the general sessions at which trials, if there were any,
would be held.^ Instructions issued to justices of the peace with
the supplementary commissions of array of March 20th, 1369,
' to hold their sessions at the times ordained ',^ suggest that the
extent to which they were using their ' discretion ' in this respect
was not altogether approved of by the government.

As the tables show, the sessions in Kesteven were held at
Sleaford, Grantham, Corby, Bourne, Navenby, and Stamford.^
Those in Lindsey were held most frequently at Lincoln, Caistor,
Horncastle, or Louth, though in the autumn of 1360 there were
sessions at no less than seven places. Apparently the Lindsey
justices sometimes separated into two groups, holding inquests
at different places on the same day. If the session headings of
roll L are correct, Thomas Levelaunce and William de Stayn were
at Burton® on October 28th, 1360, when John Moubray ' and his
colleagues ' were at Epworth ; and there is evidence from roll LL
that sessions were held at both Caistor and Horncastle on
June 20th, 1373.

' There is one reference to an ' inquest of the lord king ' held on October
6th, 1373, which was probably a peace session (H 3).

2. THE JUSTICES

Attendance at sessions : The evidence of the rolls as to which
justices actually attended the sessions is unfortunately incomplete,
that of the early Lindsey roll being the most satisfactory. As
already stated, the headings of this roll show that the inquests
were usually held before Thomas Levelaunce and William de Stayn,
occasionally also before John Moubray 'and his colleagues' (socii
sui), and that the fines were taken by Moubray and Ingelby. In
the later Lindsey roll the appearance of Robert de Willoughby's
name at the head of each membrane is undoubtedby due to his
official position as capifalis iiisticiarius (chief justice) and does not
necessarily imply that he was always present. There is, in fact,
internal evidence that the session of December 11th, 1374, was
held by John Poucher ' and his colleagues ', and those of June 26th,
1374, and September 20th, 1375, by John Dymoke ' and his
colleagues ' (LL 300, 219, 472). ^ How many other members of the
commission were included among the ' colleagues ' it is impossible
to say.

The only justices referred to in the Kesteven roll for 1371
are Andrew Luterell, who presided at the three Corby sessions
and at the Grantham session of March 7th, and Ralph Basset, who
was at Grantham on January 11th. The heading of the second

Kesteven roll — ' Indictments before Roger de Meres,

Henry Asty, Thomas Claymond, and Thomas Pynchebek ' —
should probably be taken to mean that these men composed the

HI i-vt'ry session rii-nnk'd in tlu> roll. I'Vorn Ihf Holland njll nothing
cjin Ik* gioanotl jvs to the justices attending tlic Hossions.

The Cfmrai con* hision suggestt'd by this partial and unsatis-
fucton- information is that a niininuini of two justices was necessary
even at the friMjucnt. non-statutory s(>ssions,* but that probably
not more than two or three sat together at one time, and that
some, who were members of commissions in ditTerent counties,
never sat at all. The only member of the quorum of whose attend-
ance we have evidence is Roger de Mores (Kestcven, 1374-5), but
since the Lincolnshire justices were apparently not trying felonies
at this time, the presence of the justices of tlie quorum at their
sessions was not noeessany^

T?i€ir wages : The best method of determining how many of
the justices appointed to a commission of the peace actually did
tile work of the sessions is to find out which of them received
salaries (where this is possible), for only those were i)aid who sat.
Unfortunately, no definite information has been discovered as to
the payment of justices of the peace between 1352 and 1392. There
are many wTits to the sheriffs enrolled on the close rolls for the
year 1351 for the payment of the justices on the joint commission
for labourers and of the peace out of the fines and amercements
adjudged in their sessions. Aiter 1352 similar writs refer only
to ' justices appointed to keep the statute of labourers ', and neither
the close rolls nor the pipe rolls, as far as they have been examined,
contain any indication tliat the members of the separate com-
missions of tlie peace were receiving salaries.

After 1359, when the separates commissions for labourers were
withdraA\n, a number of petitions enrolled on the parliament rolls
for the last eighteen years of Edward Ill's reign and the first fourteen
3'ears of Richard II's confirms the evidence of the close and pipe
rolls that the justices of the peace were not being paid at this period,
and suggests that a good deal of inefficiency and negligence was
the result. For instance, a petition in the parliament of 1372^
runs as follows :

Puree qe Justices de la Pees et de Laborers ne pregnent Fees ne gages
de Roi, par q'ils ue fount diligealment lour office, en desavantage de
Roi et del People : Dount soit ordeine remedie (Whereas justices of
the peace and (jf labourers receive neither fees nor wages from the king,
wherefore they do not dihgeutly perform their office, to the detriment
of the king and people: let a remedy be ordained.)
In the Good Parliament of 1376 the commons ask :
Qe gages y soient assignez a^ ditz Justices [of the peace] pur lour Sessions
faire covenables : qar sans Gages ils n'ont cure de faire lour Sessions

^ See also Mis3 Putnam, Stat, of Labourers, p. 60 ; and Early Treatises,
pp. 362-3.

■ R.P. ii, 312. The translation of this and other passages from R,P,
is that of the present writer.

INTRODUCTION xxxi

q'est grande perde au Roi (That wages be assigned to the said justices
[of the peace] for holding proper sessions : for without wages they
neglect to hold their sessions, which is a great loss to the king.)^
It was not until many similar petitions and suggestions as to
methods of payment on the part of the commons^ had resulted
in the statute of Cambridge, in 1388,^ and in the statute of 1390*
that the pipe roll at last shows that the justices of the peace were
being paid. On the roll for Somerset of the year 16 Richard II
(1392) the sheriff of that county is recorded as claiming his allow-
ance from the exchequer in respect of wages paid to justices of the
peace and their clerk, and the financial clauses of the two statutes,
which were his authority for doing so, are enrolled on the pipe roU.
Henceforward similar claims by the sheriffs of different counties
are recorded on the roll, although, at first, with a good deal of
irregularity. The first claim by the sheriff of Lincolnshire, on the
roU for the year 17 Richard II, is for the payment of justices of the
peace in Lindsey in the years 14-15 Richard II (1390-91). The
existence of these pipe roll entries and the fact that after 1390 the
parliament rolls contain no further petitions about the wages of
justices of the peace show that a practical solution of the problem
had at last been found. The amount of the salaries, as fixed by
the statute of Cambridge, was four shillings a day for a justice
and two shillings a day for his clerk. The rate had been sUghtly
altered since the day of the separate justices of the peace and of
labourers who were paid five shillings a day, while their clerks
received one and eightpence.^

It seems clear, from the above, that the justices of the peace
who sat between 1352 and 1390 cannot have received salaries,
and this conclusion has been confirmed by a search through various
exchequer material in the Public Record Office.® On the other
hand, the very existence of the peace rolls shows that the words
of the petitions of 1372 and 1376 as to the failure of the justices
to hold their sessions did not apply to Lincolnshire. One wonders,
however, w^hether the ' working ' justices on the various commissions
dicl not find some way of compensating themselves unofficially for
die lack of any official recognition of their services.

Their oath : The oath of the justices of the peace seems to have
originated in the middle of the fourteenth century and was at
first largelj'^ based upon the oath of the justices of the two Benches,
which was at that time receiving its final form, and was, in its turn,
derived from the oath taken by members of the king's council.'

As tvirly lus 134.'{' mul l.*{4S^ the cointnotis petitioned that jtiKtices
of tlie |>ortee Uc sworn, and on the lirsl of these oeiMsions «»vcn
suggested the form of their oath : l)ut it is during tiie ytars ininuv
<liately following the passing of the ordinance and statute of
laboun.>rs, which did so much in otiier ways to consoHdatc tJie office
of justice of the |x\iee. that wo get the first clear proof that justices
of the peace and of lahourers were heing sworn. A passage in a
Surrey p«>ace n)lP descril)es iiow John de Kouleghe or Kowele was,
in January, 13.11, indicted by his colleagues of a joint commission
of the ]x»ace anil for labourers, for offences wliicli lie Jiad committed
din'ing an earlier term of office, although he had been sworn
to do right l)oth to the lord king and to his poopio, and both to poor
and rich, and that he would not let for malice, favour, gift, nor promisi^.s,
nor do harm to anyone.*

A further stop is marked by tlie oath of the justices of labourers
and of weights antl measures, wliicli has been foimd among the Petty
Bag documents at the Public Record Office,^ and must have come
from the years 1357-9, since those were the only years wiien the
power to deal with weights and measures was included in the
separate commissions for labourers.* It runs as follows :
Ye shall swere that in your office of justice of laborers and of weights
and measures ye shall doc egall right to the poore as to the riche after
your connyng wit and power and after the forme of statutes thereof made
and thissues fynes and amerciaments the which shalbe made and to
be made before you you shall doe truely enter without anj'^ concelement
or ymbeselling and truely sende in to the Eschequier, and that ye shall
not lede for yestc nor for other cause, but that well and truely ye shall

do your office of justice in that behalf '

Certain phrases in this oath so closely resemble the later oath of
the justices of the peace, even in the elaborate form in which it was
enrolled on the parliament roll after the reorganisation of 1380,'
that it seems not unUkely that a similar oath was administered to
them l)efore 1380. There is, how^ever, no contemporary example
of the oath between the de Rowele case of 1351 and the parliament
of 1380, and the exact form of the oath which was taken by the
Lincolnshire justices appointed during this period must therefore
remain a matter of conjecture.

Even greater uncertainty surrounds the question of how the
oath was administered to justices of the peace and of labourers.
In 1343 and 1348^ the commons tried to secure the administra-
tion of the oath to justices of the peace in parliament, and in 1376

they asked that they be sworn ' dovant le Conseil le Roi en mesme
la manere come autres gontz sont (before the king's council in the
same way as other people are)'.' The theory seems thus to have
been that the justices should come to the central government to
be sworn, but there is some evidence to show that the usual practice
in the fourteenth century was for the oath to be administered in
the counties by some local official or magnate who was empowered
by a writ from the chancery, which he endorsed and returned
when he had performed his task.^ In 1380, when the oath for
the justices of the peace was enrolled on the parliament roll, there
was also enrolled a writ to be directed to the sheriff of each county
commanding him to administer the oath.^ Later in the reign of
Richard II one of the justices was sometimes empowered to take
the oath of his associates.* In the fifteenth century the writ was
often issued to some prominent local ecclesiastic who was not a
member of the commission,^ and sometimes to the justices of
assize.®

3. THE CLERK OF THE PEACE

One of the most important officials connected with the sessions
of the peace was the justices' clerk. The very scanty information
as to his qualifications and duties available for the fourteenth
century may be briefly summarised. The records of the Kent
sessions of the peace in 1316-17 prove that the office of clerk was
almost, if not quite, as old as that of keeper of the peace." The
statute of labourers of 1351 refers to ' clercs des justices ' without
giving any account of them.* Many of the writs for the payment
of wages to justices sitting on the joint commission of the peace
and for labourers in 1351 show that they had clerks who were
being paid at the rate of one and eightpence a day. The oath for
justices of the peace drawn up in 1380 refers to the duties of
their clerk, and shows that he, like the justices themselves, was

^R.P. n, 333.

* Miss Putnam has discovered, among Chancerj^ Files, B 60, two writs
of dedimus potestatem, dated 1357 and 1368, to a member of a retiring com-
mission of labourers to administer the oath to the new commissioners. These
are the earliest writs for the administration of oaths to justices of labourers
yet foimd, and it is perhaps significant that they are of the same date as
the oath of the justices of labourers and weights and measures already
referred to.

iiu-nt.s to clerks of tlie peace, with the names of the clerltH,
aj4H'ar fairly regularly on the })ij)(> rolls.

The Lincolnshirt> rolls contain no inforniation as to tho identity
of the clerks of the peace, unless tlie mysterious appearance of the
name ' Asty ' below the heading of each nu^mhrane of the later
Kestoven rolP may be taken as an indication tiiat Sir Henry Asty
was in some way responsible for its compilation. Though not a
mendxT of the quorum, he was one of the ' working justices ', and
attended some, if not all of the Kesteven sessions, as is proved
by tile general heading of the roll, aln^ady referred to. Moreover,
as a lawyer of some prominence,' he would undoubtedly employ
a clerk or clerks of his own. Since the earl of Angus, the chief
justice and custos rotulorum of the Kesteven commission, was not
regularly attending the sessions, it is not unlikely that Asty was
in charge of the writs and records and that his personal clerk acted
also as clerk of the peace and enrolled them.

Indirectly, the form of the Lindsey, Holland, and later
Kesteven rolls reveals something about the methods of work of
their compilers. There was not, apparently, a rigid pattern for
session records as there was for the plea rolls of the central courts,
and within certain limits the arrangement, form of headings, and
so forth, depended upon the personal idiosyncrasies of the different
clerks. Tiie early Lindsey and the later Kest'^ven rolls, as pre-
viously stated, are neatly and methodically arranged under careful
session headings. The writer of the later Lindsey roll groups the
enrolled presentments according to the year, but without indicating
the session at which they were made. The Holland clerk omits
headings of any kind, merely grouping presentments made over a
period of several years under the names of the different wapentakes.
This disregard of chronology was due, no doubt, to the system,
already described, of writing up the sessions records from a mass
of unorganised material only when they happened to be called for
by the central courts. That the clerks, whatever their identity,
were men of some education and legal training is proved by the
admirably clear chancery hand which they wrote, very different
from the hasty scrawl of tlie local scribes responsible for the separate
' bills ' ot which roll K is composed.

INTRODUCTION xxxv

4. THE PRESENTING JURY

Composition : The offences ' heard ' and sometimes ' deter-
mined ' by the justices at sessions of the peace were presented to
them by juries of the different wapentakes of the county. Sometimes
a wapentake seems to have been represented by more than one
jury at the same session. For instance, at the Kestcven session
of January llth, 1371, VVinnibriggs was represented by three
juries, Boothb}'' Graffoe and Loveden each by two. Two juries
also represented Beltisloe on January 7th, Aswardhurn on
January 13th and VVinnibriggs on March 7th. The number of
jurors, where it if? indicated in the rolls, ^ was almost invariably
twelve, though there are a few examples of a jury of thirteen. ^

In addition to the regular wapentake juries, the sessions were
sometimes attended by a magna inquisicio or grand jury. Roll LL
records presentments by grand juries of both the North and South
Ridings of Lindsey in 1375 (LL 464-7) and of the South Riding
in 1374 (LL 271). There are also two indictments of townships
for failure to ' inform the jurors of the grand jury ' in 1373 (LL 4,
33). In Kesteven a generalis inquisicio of fifteen jurors made
presentments at Sleaford on June 23rd, 1374 (KK 15). Little is
known about the grand jury in the fourteenth century except
that it was a jury of the whole county or division (or, in these
cases, of a riding), as opposed to the jury of the wapentake, but
with similar duties.^ The sessions which it attended were, as a
rule, no doubt, the larger, or general sessions, not the frequent,
non-statutory sessions with which our rolls are chiefly concerned.

In the seventeenth century the grand jury was composed, in
practice, of high constables,* and it is just possible that this was
also the case in the fourteenth century, for one of the members
of the Kesteven generalis inquisicio was John Clerk of Welburn,
chief constable of Skinnand.^ About the other members of the
grand juries and hundred juries named in the rolls, not enough
is known to make possible any statement as to their social status
or official position. The same names naturally tend to recur in

1 In roll L the jurors are not named, but the indictments are all made
' by the oath of twelve '. In roll LL the members of seventy-two juries are
named, the others are simply described as ' jurors of the wapentake of
. . . '. In rolls K, KK, and H the names of twelve jurors are always given.

' Earlier in the fourteenth century both larger and smaller juries seem
to have been common ; see Miss Putnam, Kent Keepers of the Peace, 1316-17,

» In Easter term, 2 Henry V, a Shropshire grand jury ' of thirty-six of
the most honest and worthy of the county ' (iurata triginta et sex iuratorum
de probiorihus et valencioribus comitatus que magna inquisicio vacatur) made
presentments before the King's Bench at Shrewsbury (K.B. 27,613, Rex
m. 36). The hundred jury and the grand jury are, of course, to be distin-
guished from the trial jury (or petty jury), which would be summoned to
attend the sessions if the justices were trying cases.

\vn|.Hntnki>s tJuTc was a group of from thirty to forty ' gcxxl and
hn\ful nun fhgible as jurors, some of whom sat more frequently
tluin others. Certain men sat on at least four out of five Lindsey
juries iHt^M-en 1373 and 137"). others on only one or two.

Si/jftem of }>r€seulmenis : Twelve men drawn from a whole
wajK>nt-ake or riding obviously eould not, of tlieir own knowledge,
pri'sent all the petty misdeeds of the neighlmurhood. They relied,
mainly. ujHin reports (presumably oral) made to them by rrpre-
seniatives of the dilTereni townships, who attended the sessions
for this puqxise. The information thus aequired was put into
tlie shajx' of formal Latin indietments, written upon pieces of
parchment to whicli the jurors affixed their seals, ^ and delivered
to the justices. Mait land's description of the way in which pre-
sentments were made in the thirteenth centurj'^ sheriff's toum
applies almost word for word to the fourteenth century sessions
of tlic peace :

About everj' matter there are to be two sets of swearers, certain men
of higher rank who represent a hundred, certain men of lower rank who

represent a vill, or several vills The ' fama publica '

is twice distilled. The representatives of the vills make presentments
to a jury of twelve freeholders- which represents the hundred, and
then such of these presentments as the twelve jurors are willijig to ' avow ',
or make their own, are presented by them.^

The later Lindsey roll contains a valuable illustration of this system
in the shape of a number of indictments of vills for failure to attend
sessions to ' inform ' {ad informandum) and to ' present ' {ad
presentandum). The foIlo\^'ing is a good example :

Whereas the jurors of Well wapentake had a day [appointed to

be] at Lincoln before John Poucher and his colleagues to make

presentments on behalf of the king, and the vills of Stow Marton and
Stretton had a daj' [appointed to be] there to inform the said jurors as
to certain articles, the said vills refused to come there on the appointed
day, wherefore the king's business was delayed on that day (LL 300).

From some of these indictments it is possible to discover by
whom the vills were represented. Most frequently it was by four
men (LL 108. 110, 222), or four men and the reeve (LL 38, 103) ;
sometimes by four men and the constable of the vill (LL 92) :
once by ' the constable and with him two men ' (LL 227) ; and once
by the constable alone (LL 287). In the early Lindsey roil there
is a reference to a man w^ho had been ' arrested ' {arrestatus) by
the bailiff to make presentments of malefactors before the twelve
jurors on behalf of the vill of Skendleby, but who was so threatened
by another man that he dared not do it , ' wherefore the viU of
Skendleby presented nothing on that day ' (L 34).

i There are traces of jurors' seals upon several of the ' bills ' in roll K.
* It would not be true of the fourteenth centxiry to say that the probos
et legales homines were always freeholders.

'Pollock and Maitland (2nd ed.), ii, 642-3.

INTRODUCTION xxxvii

There was a second source from which the presenting juries
might obtain information, namely the accusations sometimes
submitted by individual prosecutors. Among the miscellaneous
material of roll K there are two private ' bills ', one complaining
of a breach of covenant on the statute of labourers (K 1), the other
of an assault (K 36). These bills are addressed to the justices
and were, presumably, examined by them before being handed to
the jury.^ The latter, by endorsing each of them billa vera con-
verted them from private accusations into indictments. At a later
time indictments were probably far more frequently based on bills
of this kind than upon the J'a77ia picblica, as expressed in the
presentments by vills, which had sufficed in the thirteenth century.
The examples just quoted illustrate admirably the transition from
the older system, which was still the most common in the fourteenth
century, to the later one, which was just coming into use.-

A curious variation of the private bill is a French petition
addressed to the Kest€ven justices at the session held at Grantham
on ]March 7th, 1371, in which ' the common people of the country '
petition the justices that butchers may be allowed to go in safety
to and from Grantham market, and that proclamation be made
accordingly (K 27). It would seem as though some kind of local
deputation attended the session with this petition, wliich one of
the clerks hastily wTote down at the foot of the strip of parcliment
upon which he had already entered the presentments of the
Winnibriggs jury. One would give much to know who had been
interfering with the butchers and whether the justices made the
desired proclamation.

The jurors' oath : The presenting jurors in sessions of the peace
were always sworn, as is indicated by the frequent appearance of
the phrase dicunt per sacramentum suum in the account of their
proceedings. ^iHthough the actual form of their oath for the
fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries has not, as yet, been dis-
covered, it is possible, from indirect information, to arrive at a
fairly clear idea of what it must have been.

In the first place, it undoubtedly had a close affinity with
the oath of the presenting jury in the fourteenth centTir\' eyre,
which ran as follows :

Ceo oyez vous justices, qe jeo leaument enquerroy de ceo qe homme
me chargeroy de part le roi et le conseyl le roi e ceo justices leaument
celeroy e pur rien ne livroy. (This hearken to, ye justices. Faithfully
will I make imjuest of whatsoever I shall be charged with in the king's
name ; and the counsel of the king and of you justices will I faithfully
keep secret ; and in nought of all this will I fail ctc.)^

' According to Marowe (pp. 383-4), justices of the peace had to exan^iine
private bills before they were handed to the jury.

see Peyton, op. cit., pp. Ixxiv-lxxvi.

for tluMr part failiifully to conceal it.)'-

It is not found in the later form of the oath of the justices of the
pcivce,^ but that, even before 1389, it had become incorporated in
that of the jurors is proved by the indictments in the Lincolnshire
rolls of jurors who have ' revealed the counsel of the king and their
fellows ' (L 8. KK 42, H 3). This evidence is confirmed by a passage
in the Worcestershire Manual for justices of the peace {circa
1422) :

Each of the jurors made an oath tliat he would enquire well and
present the truth to the justices concerning those things which should
be enjoined on him on the king's behalf, and that he would conceal the

counsel of the king and of his fellows •*

No doubt the precise form of the oath in the later fourteenth century
was very similar to this.*

The charge : After the jurors in the sessions of the peace had
been sworn, one of the justices read out to them the charge con-
taining the difiFerent points or articles with regaid to which they
were to make presentments. The peace rolls contain no information
as to the charge nsed in Lincolnshire in the reign of Edward III,
but recent researches of Miss Putnam are of the utmost importance
in this respect.* The earliest known charge, which, from internal
evidence seems to have been compiled in 1403-4, appears in a
fifteenth centur\^ collection of Kesteven precedents for justices of
the peace, in a Harleian manuscript in the British Museum.' The
older articles of this charge are based upon early inquests — such
as those of the sheriff's tourn, the court leet, and the Trailbaston
enquiries — and upon various statutes of Edward III, of w^hich the
latest is one of 1368. The later articles are based upon statutes of
Richard II and Henry IV. The compilation to which the charge

belongs was, in all probability, the work of Robert de Rep3^nghale,
clerk of the peace in Lindsey, Kesteven, and Holland in 1448. Now,
John de Repyngliale was a member of the Kesteven commission of
the peace between 1368 and 1370, and his son, another John, was a
member of various Kesteven commissions between 1377 and 1407.^
It is more than likely that the charge used (perhaps actually com-
piled) by the elder John and brought up to date by the younger
John remained among the family papers, and, some forty years
later, was incorporated by their descendant in his collection of
precedents. If this supposition is correct, there is no reason to
doubt that in the older articles of the charge of 1403-4 we have
the version actually used by the Lincolnshire justices for the period
covered by the peace rolls.

Other officials : The rolls give no information about the officials
who attended the sessions of the peace other than the justices them-
selves, the jurors, and the reeves and constables who represented
the vills. There are, however, ri'ferences to the sheriff's clerk
(L 28) and to some of the bailiffs and sub-bailiffs of the different
wapentakes who delivered writs of summons (LL 227), and who
would certainly have to attend. At the smaller sessions at which
indictments were merely heard and not 'determined ', a full attend-
ance was probably not regarded as necessary. The sheriff must
almost certainly have been there to answer for the execution of the
writs summoning the juries, or, since the sheriff himself was an
important and busy person, he might be represented by a deputy^ ;
but the coroners probably did not come, since they would not be
needed to record outlawries when the justices were not actually
trying offenders. A full session, on the other hand, would be
attended in person by all the officials of the county — the sheriff,
bailiffs, bailiffs -errant,^ sub-bailiffs, seneschals, and coroners.

Lincolnshire later than 1361, when Roger de Croxton held the office (C.P.R.

» I have found no reference to a bailifT-errant in Lincolnshire for the
period of the rolls. In October, 1383, John Forester was granted the office
of ' bailiff itinerant ' in the county of Lincobi during pleasure {C.P.R.
1381-85, p. 317).

till- proportion of these intlietments removed into the King's Bench,

chapters certain of the more interesting cases will be examined
in detail.

1. CLASSIFICATION OF OFFENCES IN THE PEACE ROLLS

The variety of ofiFences is considerable, and an attempt at
classification cannot be anything but tentative. Some indictments
include more than one oflFence, as when homicide is accompanied
by tlieft, or when the accessories to a felony arc indicted with the
principals and not separately. On the other hand, the same offence
is sometimes presented by a number of different juries and thus
appears several times on the roll ; for instance, roll LL contains
seven separate entries concerning the Cantilnpe murder. T have
tried to count each offence once only and to class the various tj^es
of offence under the two main headings of felonies and trespasses,
using the latter term in the sense evidently intended by the framers
of the commissions of the peace, for all crimes below the rank of
felony which a modem lawyer would call misdemeanours.' Before
proceeding to a more detailed analysis it may be well to state in
tabular form the main results of this classification :

discussed at length in a later chapter ; all that need be not«d here
is that petty treason, recently defined by the statute of 1352,^ was
the only type of treason with which justices of the peace could
deal in the fourteenth century.

Homicide : LL, 32 instances ; K, 16 instances ; KK, 6
instances : H, 7 instances. In a few cases the homicide is accom-
panied by robbery or grand larceny.

Bape : LL, 6 instances ; KK, 1 instance. The statute of
Westminster II- had made this offence a felony in all cases. The
verb rapere is used in all these indictments, and in five out of the
seven the adverb Jelonice is also used ; its omission in two cases
is perhaps explained by the statement of Thomas Marowe (writing
in 1503), that rape was a felony by statute and that therefore the
word Jelonice in the indictment was not necessary.^ In spite of
the statute, however, it is not unusual, in indictments of this period,
to find rape treated specifically as a trespass. Sometimes a jury,
for no apparent reason, vAW present two precisely similar cases,
the one as a felonj', the other as a trespass.

Grand larceny : LL, 62 instances ; K, 40 instances ; KK, 22
instances ; H, 24 instances. These totals do not include a certain
number of cases where theft accompanied some other felony, such
as homicide or rape. Three of the indictments in roll K (67, 69,
71) refer to the general stealing of sheep or horses, without men-
tioning a specific offence, place, or time. The adverbs furtive or
felonice are almost always used in these indictments of grand larceny,
but are occasionally omitted if the verb employed is furari. This
practice accords with another statement of Marov/e, that the words
furatus fuit without felonice ' . . . fuit aiugge bone enditement de
felony anno VI *o R. II (was held to be a good indictment of
felony in the sixth year of Richard II)'.*

Petty larceny : LL, 6 instances. This offence (the theft of
goods valued at less than 12d,) was regarded as a felony in the
fourteenth century, though strictly it was not a ' true felony ',
being punishable by whipping and the pillory instead of by death. ^

Bobbery : LL, 4 instances (excluding cases where robbery
accompanies homicide) ; K, 1 instance ; H, 1 instance. Legal
authorities agree in defining robbery (a felony since the time of
Henr^- II)** as the taking of money or goods from the person of
another by doing violence or by causing fear.' It would seem that
the verb depredari (to pillage or plunder), which occurs in all these
indictments, had, by the end of the fourteenth centurj', acquired
a technical legal meaning.

xlii INTRODUCTION

Burqlaiy LL, 7 instnncos : K. 10 instances ; H, 3 inst^mces.
Tliori- is suiiu' inu-iTtainty as to tlu- oxaot dciinition of this otToncc
in iIk- fiiurtivnili iviiturv, and any additional light which can bo
thrown \\\>v\\ it is tiicivfon' inijjortant. By the early sixteenth
eeniury. houso-breakinfi by night witli intent to commit a felony
was an ess<>ntial eharactoristic of burglary.' Britton, however
{circa 12'.M) makes no refennce to night nor to intx'nt when he
detims burglars as ' tlujse who feloniously in time of peace break
elmrches or the liouses of others, or the walls or gates of our cities
or borougiis '. Moreover, the rolls of the Kent Keepers of the
Peace. 131t>-17,- show that by the beginning of the fourteenth
century biirglary was not yet necessarily a nocturnal crime and
was not conlined to house-breaking. The offences classified here
as burglary are those which are covered by Britton 's definition,
namely, house-breaking or close-breaking, accompanied by the
felonious taking of goods ; only five of them took place at night
and in only three cases (LL 60, 71. 229) is the technical verb deburgare
used.

Breach of prison : LL, 1 instance. Whether prison-breaking
ranked as a felony depended on the offence for which the prison-
breaker had been incarcerated^ ; this case concerns the escape of
an offender who had been taken and imprisoned for grand larceny
(LL 25).

Arson .• K, 1 instance. The indictment speaks of the felonious
entry of a messuage, the setting fire to a grange, and the burning
of all the grain therein (K 97).

Accessories to felony : LL, 15 instances ; K, 5 instances ;
KK. 7 instances ; H, 3 instances. Most of these indictments are
for ■ receiving, relieving, comforting or assisting ' a felon, knowing
him to be such ; six are indictments of accessories at the fact ;
three are for allowing the escape of a felon or suspected felon ;
one is for ' procuring ' a man to kill another (LL 242).

Trespasser : The classification of felonies is a comparatively
simple matter, but the mass of miscellaneous crimes other than
felonies have not tlie same well-defined characteristics and it is
often difficult to know how to distinguish between them and under
which of several possible heads to place them. A very large number
of indictments are concerned w ith offences for which the ' semi-
criminal ' action of trespass vi et armis in one of its various
forms would lie ; others deal with the offences of officials ;
others with the failure to perform some public duty ; others
with economic offences and, especially, with breaches of the
labour laws.

^ E.f]. Marowe, p. 378 ; Coke confirmed this definition, 3 Inst. c. 63.
Maroue, however, seems to include close- breakinj,', if accompanied by, the
actual taking of goods, which Coke omits.

INTRODUCTION xliii

Assault : L, 20 instances ; LL, 70 instances ; K, 19 instances ;
KK, 12 instances ; H, 42 instances. The characteristic phrase in
these indictments is ' assaulted, beat, wounded, and ill-treated '.
A few special cases may be noted. In one indictment (LL 370)
the verb mahemiare is used, in addition to the usual phrase. Mayhem
is defined by Bracton as depriving another of the use of some
member necessary for fighting.^ According to Marowe, the word
felonice ought to be used in an indictment of mayhem^ because,
though it never became an indictable felony, it could, in the
thirteenth century, be prosecuted by an appeal^ ; the fact that
felonice does not occur in this case perhaps indicates that by the
late fourteenth century the term mayhem was not always given
the strictly technical meaning of earlier days.

Two cases in which assault was accompanied by ambush
(L 7, LL 309) are also interesting. Not only was lying in ambush
an offence often mentioned in commissions of Trailbaston and in
early commissions of the peace, but in 1380, only a few years after
the latest of these rolls was compiled, a phrase giving justices of
the peace power to deal with those ' lying in ambush to maim
and kill ' was permanently included in their commission.*

There are two cases of assault on a chaplain in church (K 29,
30) ; another of a man being chased to a wood where, in order to
save his life, he was forced to give up a saddled horse and other
goods worth ten shiUings (LL 332) ; another of a man, described
as ' a comjnon malefactor in fairs and markets ', riding armed at
night and assaulting servants at a mill (L 10). In several instances
the victims of assault took refuge in a house or church and dared
not come out until they had made a fine with their persecutors or
had been rescued.

Resistance to officials : L, 7 instances ; LL, 15 instances ;
K, 8 instances ; KK, 5 instances ; H, 3 instances. A word fre-
quently used in these indictments is rescussum (resistance). The
officials mentioned are bailiffs, constables, a coroner (LL 326),
the sheriff's clerk and bailiff (L 28), and tax-collectors (L 30,
KK 37). The offences which have been grouped under this head
differ from each other considerably in detail, and include breaking
the stocks (L 27), breaking arrest, chasing constables from the
market (L 20).

Breaking house, close, etc. : LL, 17 instances ; KK, 1 instance ;
H, 3 instances. The phraseology of these indictments often differs
from that in indictments of burglary only in the omission of the
adverb felonice. The breaking of house or close is often accom
panied by some other offence such as assault, the taking of beasts,
crops, growing trees (LL 111) or documents (H 14), or the forcible
abduction of servant (H 84) or heir (H 102),

xliv INTRODUCTION

Taking goods : L, 3 instances : LL, 4 instancos ; K, 2 instances ;
Kl\, 1 instance; H. 1 instance. The substitution of the phrase
contra pacnn for tlie ad\\r\)r^ felon ice or furtive makes it clear that
these oflfonevs werti presented as trespasses, not as felonies, tliough
tlie vahif of the gootls taken ranges from a huiulreil shiUings to
twi'lve [K-nci-. and they might well have l)een treat^^d as grand
larceny. One curious case, where stolen goods and money w(Te
taken from a thief in return for ' conceaHng the theft " looks hke
an accessory to a felony but for the word transgressio written in
tlie margin of the roll (H 83).

Threats of life and limb or burning : L. I instance ; K, 1
inst-jince : KK. 1 instance ; H, I instaiice.

Imprisonment till payment of ransom : i^L, 2 instances ; KK,
2 in.stances.

Abduction : LL, 0 instances ; KK, 1 instance ; H, 1 instance.
In the first six cases the victims were servants, in the next, a girl
who was kept in hiding for twenty days, against lier mother's will
(KK 52), in the last, felons fleeing from the country (H 81).

Extortion : LL, 6 instances ; K, 1 instance ; KK, 6 instances.
This otfence, the unlawful taking by any officer ' by color of his
oflftce, from any man, any money or thing of value that is not due
to him, or more than is due, or before it is due,'^ is alwaj^s described
by one of two phrases, per extorcionem or colore officii. The offenders
include bailiffs, the ' keeper of the jurisdiction of Ix)uth ' (LL 198,
199), a canon of Newhouse (LL 426), the senes<"hal of the bishop
of Carlisle (LL 84), and the gaoler of Lincoln castle (KK 7-13).

Oth^r offences of officials : LL, 5 instances. Three of these
cases, in which the offender was the seneschal of the bishop of
Carlisle, will be discussed in the next chapter (LL 80, 82, 83) ; in
the fourth case, the bailiff of the same bishop caused certain men
to be unjustly amerced in the bishop's court (LL 84) ; in the fifth,
a bailiff allowed the escape of a man arrested for various misdeeds
(LL 303).

Refusal to keep the watch : L, 1 instance ; LL, 5 instances ;
K. 1 instance ; KK, 1 instance ; H, 2 instances. This offence
always involved disobeying the commands of the constable, and
in a sense, therefore, belongs under the heading ' resistance to
officials ', but as the keeping of watches was ordered by the statute
of Winchester, failure to keep tliem may reasonably be classed
separately as a trespass on the statute.

Failure to attend inquests : L, 1 instance ; LL, 21 instances.
Most of these are collective indictments of townships which have
failed to make presentments at the sessions, but some of them refer
specifically to the constable, bailiff or reeve, or to some or all of the
' four men ' of the township. The special interest of these indict-
ments has been discussed in a previous chapter.

Sworn juror a ' revealing counsel ' ; L, 1 instance ; KK, 1
instance : H, 1 instance. The oath by which members of the
indicting jury were sworn to secrecy has also been discussed else-
where.

Obstruxition of a watercourse: LL, 1 instance (31).

Failure to repair a bridge: LL, 1 instance (lo8). Indictments
of offences such as these last two, connected with the neglect or
destruction of public utilities, were more frequently made in the
sheriff's tourn and in the hundred court than before justices of the
peace at this period.^

Clipping money : H, 1 instance (72). At the period of these
rolls the clipping of money was still a trespass at common law.
There was evidently a recognised distinction between ' clipping '
and 'counterfeiting", for w^hereas the famous statute of 135P
made it treason to ' counterfeit ' the king's money, it was not
until 1416 that another statute made ' clipping, washing and filing '
a treasonable offence.^ This enactment would have removed the
offence from the cognisance of the justices of the peace, who had
no authority to deal with treason, but for another clause of the
same statute,* which specifically empowered them to enquire of
(but not to try) ' counterfeiting, clipping, washing and other falsity
of money of the land '.

Lawlessness and ' night-walking ' .• K, 2 instances (189, 190).
The phrases ' common malefactor ', ' common affrayor,' ' common
disturber of the peace ' and ' night-walker ' occur in many of the
indictments of assault, but these two indictments alone are in
general terms and do not refer to a specific offence. One of them
(K 189) recalls very closely the language of one of the articles of
the early fourteenth century View of Frankpledge : ' Of such as
sleep by day and watch by night and fare well and have nothing '.

Forestalling : LL. 30 instances ; K, 4 instances ; H, 6 instances.
The commodities concerned are corn, fish and turves.

Trespasses on the statutes of labourers^ : These offences are so
numerous that it has seemed necessary to attempt a further
classification, wliich will serve, also, to show which clauses of the
ordinance of 1349 and the statute of 1351 were most frequently
enforced.

(ii) Giving and receiving excess wages or allowances : LL, 39
instances ; K. 10 instances ; KK. 2 instances. Tlie recipients
are usually agricultural labourers (reapei"s, mowers, ploughmen, etc.),
less frequently artisjins (thalehers, carpenters, masons, tanners, a
smith, a plumbrr).

(iii) Taking excess prices : LL, 31 instances ; K, 8 instances ;

rightful 7nusters : L, 1 instance ; LL, 6 instances ; K, 2 instances ;
KK, 2 instances ; H, 1 instance.

It will be noticed that the proportion of offences against the
labour laws in roll LL is exceptionally large (151 out of a total of
485). The earher Lindsey roll (roil L), on the other hand, belongs
to a period, according to the commission, when the justices of the
peace had no specific authority over the whole body of labour
laws, and it is therefore surprising to find that it contains one
indictment for detaining a servant 'against the statute ' ; perhaps,
however, the addition of the phrase ' against the peace ' was
regarded as bringing the offence within the category of breaches of
the peace, to be dealt with, as such, by the justices of the peace.

Certain conclusions may be drawn from the foregoing analysis.
During the period of fifteen years covered by the rolls, the Lincoln-
shire justices of the peace were hearing indictments for every type
of criminal offence from pett}' treason downwards. With the excep-
tion of trespasses against the statutes of labourers, these were
mainly common law offences. At the end of the fourteenth century
the justices of the peace were not burdened b\^ ' stacks of statutes '^
such as were laid upon them by parhament in the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries. They had ' ceased to be merely police officers
and had become criminal law judges '^ ; they had not yet degenerated
into the ' men of all work ' of tiie state.

It is not surprising that in an agricultural county so many
indictments should be concerned with breaches of the labour laws,
whose main purpose was to remedy the scarcity of agricultural
labour from which the landowners were still suffering, tw^enty
and thirty years after the first and most serious visitation of the
Black Death. On the other hand, the number of indictments
for homicide and the lesser crimes of violence is considerable, and

Plowman.

2. THE COURT OF KING's BENCH IN ITS RELATION TO THE SESSIONS

OF THE PEACE

(i) Indictments Jor felony dealt with by the King's Bench : ' The
indictments for felonies brought before justices of the peace were
' determined ' either by themselves acting as justices of Gaol
Delivery, or by the regular justices of Gaol DeUvery, or by the
justices of the King's Bench '.^ The first of these methods was
probably less frequently used than the other two, though even
towards the end of the fifteenth century justices of the peace as
such sometimes tried their own cases^ ; however, the Lincolnshire
justices in the years 1368-75 do not seem to have been delivering
gaols or trying felonies. A certain number of indictments before
them were tried, by the justices who delivered Lincoln gaol in July,
1370, February and July, 1371, February and September, 1372,='
February and March, 1373,* and March, 1375'' ; examination of
these and other Gaol Delivery records, however, suggests that only
a comparatively small proportion of tiie total number of offenders
indicted in the sessions of the peace were sufficiently confident
of their innocence, or sufficiently careless, to allow themselves to
be arrested and imprisoned, to wait, perhaps, for several months,
until the next Gaol Dehvery. Thus plenty of work awaited the
justices of the King's Bench when they came to Lincoln in the
IMichaelmas term of 1375, as is proved by the four peace rolls,
which were specially compiled in preparation for this visit and which
therefore record only those indictments which had not already
been tried.*

Roll LL records the indictments for felony of one hundred
and thirty-seven persons before the Lindsey justices of the peace
between 1374 and 1375. Twenty -one of them were tried before
the King's Bench on these indictments, or on separate indictments
for the same offence made in the King's Bench itself, or on both ;
of these, fourteen were acquitted by the trial jury with a straight-
forward verdict of ' not guilty ' ; five, on producing royal pardons,
were released sine die ; two were convicted and condemned to be
hanged. Three persons, after appearing once before the King's

before justiees of the peace, escaped before they could be brought
to trial, two of them from Lincoln castle, one from Horncastle
prison, the others from the custody of the township. Eighty -one
persons failed to answer the summons to appear before the King's
Bench, were put in exigend and, presumably, outlawed, though
only in eight cases, referred to incidentally during the course of
other trials, can the ultimate outlawry be definitely established.
Finally, twenty -one names have not been found in any records
other than roll LL itself.

Roll K records the indictments for felony of seventy-seven
pers<ms before the Kesteven justices of the peace in 1371.^ Five
of these were tried before the King's Bench, of whom two were
finally acquittetl before the justices of Nisi Prius ; two produced
royal pardons, though both had previously been acquitted before
justices of Gaol Delivery, and were released sine die ; one pleaded
a previous acquittal before justices of Gaol Delivery and was also
released siyie die. Sixty-two persons were put in exigend for failing
to appear before the King's Bench. The remaining ten (five
indicted as principals and five as accessories) do not appear at all
in the coram Rege rolls.

Roll KK records the indictments for felony of thirty-five
persons before the Kesteven justices of the peace in 1374-5. Eight
of these were tried before the King's Bench, of whom four were
acquitted ; three released sine die after pleading an insufficient
indictment ; one released sine die after producing a royal pardon.
Twenty-five others were put in exigend for failing to appear before
the King's Bench, though two of them had already been outlawed
for their failure to appear before the justices of the peace. Two
out of the thirty-five do not appear at all on the coram Rege rolls.

Roll H records the indictments for felony of forty-one persons
before the Holland justices of the peace in 1368-75. Four of these
were tried in the King's Bench, of whom two were acquitted ; one
released sine die after pleading an insufficient indictment ; and

one, indicted as an accessory, released sine die owing to the death
of his principals. Two others were returned by the sheriff as dead,
when summoned for trial. The remaining thirty-five were put in
exigend for failure to answer the summons to appear before the
King's Bench.

(ii) Itidictments for trespass dealt with by the King's Bench :
Trespasses were not, as a rule, dealt with by the King's Bench,
except for some special reason, of a kind suggested by the words
of Mr C. T. Flower : ' The real nexus of the Crown side of the
King's Bench is in fact the King's interest in the matter at issue,
whether as the maintainor of pulilic order or as the conservator
of public utilities '!^ Ordinary trespasses, which did not threaten
either ' pubhc order ' or ' public utilities ', were usually tried
by the justices of the peace in their sessions and punished by fines,
a procedure which is clearly illustrated in the earher Lindsey roll
(roll L). On the other hand, it was an accepted doctrine of
fourteenth century lawyers that when the King's Bench came into
a county it became, in Maitiand's words, ' a court of oyer and
terminer for that county \^ and superseded, for the time, all other
jurisdictions. This explains why the peace rolls, which were pre-
pared for the visit of the King's Bench, Include records of ' undeter-
mined ' trespasses as well as felonies ; and why some (though not
all) of these trespass cases, which would not, under ordinary circum-
stances, have been dealt with by the Bench, were brought before
it when it came to Lincoln, a few of them being actuallj'^ tried at
Westminster in later terms.

Of the four hundred and seventy-five persons (approximately)
whose indictments for trespass are recorded in roll LL, five were
tried by the King's Bench ; one of them was acquitted ; one was
fined ; the ultimate fate of the other three is not recorded. All
five were offenders of a somewhat unusual type, the first being
an official who had forged a verdict, thus ' usurping the royal
power '^ ; the second, a merchant who had sent corn out of the
realm to Scotland, ' to the succour and aid of the king's enemies '* ;
the third, the abbot of Kirkstead, who had obstructed a public
water-course^ ; the other two, bailiffs who, by their negligence,
had allowed a felon to escape.*

Of the one hundred and ninety-five persons (approximately)
involved in the indictments for trespass recorded in roll K, sixty
were summoned before the King's Bench. The trial of only one

or furtluT process, would not be entered on the coram Rege roll,
but on this occasion a careful clerk apparently checked oti the
name^ in the peace roll by writing /f//c?^?, to show that these trespasses
had now been ' determined '. Apparently none of those indicted
for trespass l)i'fore the later Kesteven justices were summoned
before the Kings Bench.

Of the one hundred and twenty-one persons (approximately)
whose indictment before the Holland justices is recorded in roll H,
only two appear in the coram Rege rolls. One was tried for an
offence whicii, but for the form of the indictment, looks more Uke
an accessory to a felony than an ordinary trespass ; unfortunately
the verdict of the trial jury is not recorded.^ The other was sum-
moned to appear in Michaelmas term, 1375, but disobeyed the
summons and was outlawed ; he came before th(; Bench at West-
minster much later (Hilary term, 1377), produced a pardon for
his outlawTy, was fined for his trespass, and released sine die.^

The foregoing summary affords a significant commentary upon
the efficacy of medieval justice in two respects. One is the difference
between the numbers of those who were summoned to appear and
of those who were actually brought before the court ; as far as can
be ascertained from the coram Rege rolls, thirty-three appeared
from Lindsey, out ol one hundred and twenty -one summoned ;
fourteen from Kesteven, out of one hundred and sixty summoned ;
six from Holland, out of forty-three summoned.

The second noticeable point is the preponderance of acquittals
over convictions in those cases which were ultimately tried. Of
the forty-two Lincolnshire people tried for felony as the result of
the visit of the King's Bench to Lincoln in 1375, only two were
actually convicted and condemned to death ; the majority of the
others were acquitted on the spot. One hesitates to believe that
so few of those accused by the fama publica were really guilty,
and one cannot but suspect that the reluctance of the trial juries
to convict was due less to humanitarian motives than to venahty.

It now remains to consider briefly the procedure by which the
trials which have been referred to were conducted and the results
which have been summarised were achieved.

(iii) Procedure in the King's Bench : Cases begun in the sessions
of the peace came into the court of King's Bench, when sitting

INTRODUCTION li

locally, in one of three ways, each of which is illustrated by the
extracts from the coram Rege rolls on whicli this study is based.
The first and most usual method was for the accused to be sum-
moned simply on the score of his ' undetermined " indictment
before the justices of the peace, in which case the entry of his trial
on the coram Rege roll begins :
Formerly before the keepers of the peace in the county of Lincoln it

was presented that Which indictment the lord king

has caused to come before hira to be determined.^

When the King's Bench was at Westminster, indictments from
sessions of the peace and other local courts were usually removed
into it by a writ of cerciorari, of terminari or of error, but it would
seem that indictments from courts of the county in which it was
actually sitting came before it simply by virtue of a general writ
calhng for ' undetermined ' indictments, without the need of a
separate writ other than a cjipias to the sheriff for the arrest of
the accused.'

Secondly, the accused might be freshly indicted before the
King's Bench itself by one or more juries of the county in which
it was sitting ; the entry of the trial then begins : ' The jurors
of different wapentakes [or hundreds] in the said county before

the lord king at Lincoln make presentment that '. The

coram Rege roll in these cases sometimes gives no indication of a
previous indictment before justices of the peace, but sometimes
it adds : ' And also, before the keepers of the peace in the said

county it was presented '. It is, perhaps, not irrelevant

to add here that the hearing of presentments by local juries was
so important a part of the business of the King's Bench during its
periodical migrations that it was sometimes necessary to start
the work before the first da}^ of the law term. The roll of ' Ancient
Indictments '^ which records the presentments made before the
Bench at Lincoln in 1375 shows that inquests were held coram Rege
on October 4tli,'' 5th, ^ and 8th,^ although Michaelmas term did not
begin until October 9th. Other inquests were held after term
had begun, on October 11th,' 12th,8 15th,8 and 30th,io and on
November 2nd,^^ 5th, ^* 13th," and 20th^* ; there may have been
yet others, for not all the enrolments give the date on which the
indictment was made.

• The terms ' presentment ' and ' indictment ' seem to have been used
interchangeably in the fourteenth century ; in the sixteenth centurj-, though
they were ' confounded in common speech ', there was ' a true and certain
difference ' between them, see Lambard, Eirenarcha, Bk. 4, c. 5.

- It is by no means certain that even a general writ was always issued ;
Marowe seems to imply that justices of the peace brought their indictments
before the Bench 'without process' (Early Treatises, p. 407).

prist)n as the result of an indictment in the sessions of the peace
might con\i' In'fore the justices of the Bcnc^li in their temporary
capacity of justices of (Jaoi Delivery ; the entry of the trial then
begins : ' A.B., Uiken on an indictment made before the keepers
of the peace now comes before the lord king '.

Indictments made before the King's Bench in the iirst instance
and tho>e removed into it from other courts were enrolled on the
coram Urge roll for the term in whicii the a<Mnised actually appeared
for trial, whieh was frequently long after he was indicted and received
his first summons to appear. For instance, many of those summoned
before the King's Bench at Lincoln in Michaelmas term, 1375, as
the residt of indictments of one kind or another, did not finally
appear before it until a considerable time (in some cases more than
a year) after its return to Westminster. A great deal of Lincoln-
shire business was thus being dealt with by the King's Bench for
several terms after its visit to Lincoln and is recorded on the rolls
for those terms ; the entries usually begin : * The jurors of different

wapentakes formerly, namely in the term of St Michael,

in the 49th year of the present lung, before the lord king at Lincoln

made presentment that ' ; the various stages of process

{capias, exigend etc.) by which the prisoner has finally been brought
before the court are then enumerated. A few of the trials which
were actuallj' begun at Lincoln were not, tor various reasons,
concluded there, and entries regarding their later stages are also
found on the rolls for subsequent terms. This explains why a
study of the relations of the King's Bench to the Lincolnshire
sessions of the peace could not be confined to an examination of
the roU for the one term during which the court was sitting at
Lincoln.

The trials of cases removed from sessions of the peace into
the King's Bench followed the regular procedure of that court on
its criminal side, which is too well-loiown to call for more than a
brief description here. Unless the accused had already surrendered or
had been taken and imprisoned in the county gaol, a writ of capias
was issued against him, and when he had been taken by the sheriff
he was committed to the Marshalsea prison. If the sheriff returned
ncm est inventus to the capias, the accused was put in exigend (i.e.
a writ of exigi facias was issued), which might have the effect of
producing him after a longer or shorter interval had elapsed ;
sometimes, however, he never appeared, and in such cases the
presumption is that after being ' exacted ' in five successive county
courts he was outlawed.^ The outlawry is not, of course, recorded
on the coram Rege roUs, though it may be referred to incidentally,
during the course of another trial, as, for instance, where someone
^ In the case of a woman waived^

INTRODUCTION liii

indicted as accessory to a felony was brought to trial on the grounds
of the outlawTy of his principal^

Almost always the accused, when brought into court, pleaded
* not guilty ' and was tried by a jury of the county, either imme-
diately, before the justices of the Bench, or later, before the justices
of Nisi Prius. It is worth noting that the procedure for a trial
at Nisi Prius had only very recently been estabUshed in its final
form as the result of a statute of 1368.^ Occasionally he made
some other plea, such as a mistake in the form of the indictment,^
or a previous acquittal before justices of Gaol Delivery* ; such
cases were not submitted to a jury but the indictment or the Gaol
Dehvery records were sent for and examined by the court, and if
they were found to substantiate the prisoner's plea, he was released
sine die.

When the jury was held at Nisi Prius or the trial was adjourned
for some reason, the accused was sent back to prison during the
interval or, if the offence for which he was being tried was a bailable
offence, he was released on mainprise ; if liis sureties failed to pro-
duce him on the specified day they were themselves in mercy and
liable to a fine.*

It would seem that the long, unexplained delays which often
occurred after a jury had been summoned were, in some cases at
least, deliberate!}^ procured by the prisoner, or on his behalf, in
order to allow him time to purchase a royal pardon, the production
of which in court invariably secured his release.* The pardons,
which are usuallj^ entered in full on the coram Rege rolls, sometimes
refer only to the specific offence which was being tried, but more
often are in general terms covering all but the most serious
crimes.

Reference has already been made to the scarcity of trials
which resulted in a conviction as compared with those ending in
acquittal or release sine die. In the case of a conviction for, or
an admission of, trespass, the penalty was a fine, imposed by the
court ; having paid it, the offender was released sine die.'' A
convicted felon was, of course, hable to the death penalty and
to forfeiture of his goods to the crown and of his lands to his lord,
but where the crime was petty treason, as in the case of the two
Lincolnshire convictions, to the usual penalty of hanging was

One would give much for furtiuT deUiils of these executions, but
the coram Hege roll, while recording the KcnUMice, gives no indication
as to the agency by which it was carried out. Intlced, one is
tenipttMl to wonder \\lu'tlier it was carried out at all, for the general
inipri'ssion given by these trials is that the king's justices were
far more c<.)ncerned to fill the royal colTers than to punish the guilty,
except when this could be done with the niininnim of trouble and
expense and the maximum of profit for their master.

VI
DETAILS OF SOME LINCOLNSHIRE CASES

It is now time to turn to those cases which are sufficiently
interesting to call for a more detailed examination than has been
attompted in the foregoing summary. Sometimes the bulk of
the material for such an examination is provided by the peace
rolls in the shape of a series of indictments of the same person
for different crinies committed, often, over a period of several
years. More frequently, an indictment briefly recorded in the
peace roll is the prelude to a long trial in the King's Bench. Occa-
sionally the information afforded by the coram Rege rolls can be
supplemented by reference to Gaol Delivery rolls. Finally, in a
few cases, an interesting sidelight is throwTi by enrolments on the
close or patent rolls.

The majority of the cases discussed in this chapter are from
the Lindsey records, since these are more voluminous than those
of Kesteven and Holland combined. The most sensational of all
the crimes presented before the Lindsey justices of the peace was
the murder of Sir William de Cantilupe, but the material available
for a study of this case is such as to warrant its treatment in a
separate chapter, and it will therefore not be touched upon here.

Leaving aside the Cantilupe murder, the largest number of
entries from the various types of record is concerned with Robert
Neuland of Humberstone, who, to judge from his career, was a
notorious and unpopular character. He was indicted at different
sessions of the peace in Lindsey in 1374 and 1375 for the following
crimes : (i) A series of brutal attacks on John Harmer, Hermer
or Ermer, of Humberstone, on Matilda, his wife, and Henry, las
father, in 1371, 1373 and 1374 (LL 40, 249, 252) ; (ii) the theft
of sheep from the abbey of Wellow in 1375 (LL 471) ; (iii) way-
laying, assaulting, and wounding Robert AccwTa, a monk of
Humberstone, in September, 1375 (LL 468, 472). In this last
deed Neuland had, as accomplice, a certain Wilham West of

1 Appendix LL, XXIX (i) (p. 141, below).

INTRODUCTION Iv

Humberstone, who was himself separately indicted for grand
larceny (LL 470) and subsequently acquitted before the King's
Bench. ^ It is no wonder that one of the presenting juries referred
to them as ' common disturbers and malefactors of the peace '.

Neuland was freshly indicted for all these offences before the
ling's Bench at Lincoln by a number of different juries, who
supplemented the earlier bri(^f indictments by various picturesque
details, such as that John Hermer, in attempting to escape the
attacks of his persecutors, ' took to a certain ditch and stood there
up to his shoulders, in fear of death ' ; and that the same John
Hermer was assaulted ' even to the shedding of blood, in the
cemetery of the church of Humberstone, whereby the said cemetery
is still polluted '.

When Neuland came up for trial in the King's Bench he pleaded
' not guilty ' to the felony, and was tried on the spot and acquitted.'*
For the various trespasses he was eventually fined by the court,
although, as far as his long-standing quarrel with the Hermer
family was concerned, the other side was apparently no less to blame
than he was. At the very time that he was indicted by some of
the King's Bench juries for assaulting John Hermer, the latter
was himself indicted by other juries for ' falsely and maliciously
conspiring ' with Robert and William de Thirnsco ' to destroy
Robert de Neuland ' in 1373, by causing him to be falsely indicted
for assault on Matilda, John's wife, and on that account arrested
and imprisoned until acquitted before the keepers of the peace at
Kirton in Lindsey on January 26th, 1374.^ The three men appeared
at Westminster in Easter term, 1376, and pleaded ' not guilty ' ;
a jury was summoned for the following term, but the later stages
of the trial are unfortunately not reported.*

In addition to the offences for which he had previously been
indicted, Robert Neuland was also indicted before the King's
Bench for ' receiving ' William Brian of Barton for three days,
knowing him to have killed Robert Whjme. William Brian had
himself been indicted for this murder before the justices of the
peace (LL 293), but no reference was then made to his accessory.
Neuland pleaded ' not guilty ' and, his principal having already
been outlawed, was tried at once and acquitted. Further informa-
tion about William Brian is supplied by another entry on the coram
Bege roll for Michaelmas term, 1375. Some time previously he
had enfeoffed two clergymen, Ralph, the vicar of Barrow on Humber,
and John de Drax, his chaplain, of ail his lands and tenements,
but had continued to enjoy the profits thereof himself. After his
outlawry had been pronounced, a jury was summoned in the King's

at the tinu> oi coimnitting tlio felony, in order to save the lands
from foHeiture. as was claimed on behalf of llu^ kin^. or wh(>ther
it had been made in pood faith, lonj,' before the murder of Robert
Whyne, as was claimed by the feoflces.* The verdict of the jury
is not recorded on the coram Bege roll, but a writ concerning the
lands in question, addressed to the escheator of liin(u>lnshire, is
enrolleti on the close roll for 1388; it provides the information
that a jury before Th(juias de Ingelby anci John de Cavendish t:l
Lincoln in 137G found that the gift of William Jkian to John Drax
and others was fraudulently made, and that the lands were conse-
quently held to be forfeit and were seized into the king's hand.*

Robert Neuland. tliough lie escaped serious punishment at the
hands of the law, could not escape private vengeance. The final
and most dramatic phase of his story recalls his attiick on the monk,
Robert Accwra (LL 468, 472), for which he was fined by the King's
Bench in 1375. Upon the close roll for 13783 j^ enrolled a writ
of supersedeas (afterwards vacated), dated October 28th, addressed
to the sheriff of Lincoln, for the release on mainprise of the abbot
of Humberstone and Robert Akewra [sic],
indicted before the sheriff in his turn in the wapentake of Yorburgh

concerning the death of Robert de Neweland as according

to the law and ciistom of England, indictments for manslaughter so
taken at the sheriff's turns are of none effect.'*

In the end, however, the man really responsible for bringing to
an end Robert Neuland 's wild career proved to be, not the monk
whom he had wronged, but William West, his old accomplice ;
such, at least, appears to be the implication of another enrolment,
this time upon the patent roll, in the shape of a royal pardon, dated
September 2oth, 1379, granted to Wilham West of Humberstone
' for having killed Robert Neuland of Humberstone and robbed
him of forty shillings and of a " pouche " and " daggere ", value
forty pence ', on August 1st, 1378.^ The vacating of the writ of
supersedeas for the abbot and the monk probably means that they
were released sine die when W^est, by the purchase of a pardon,
acknowledged his own guilt.

William de Thoresby of Saltfleet Haven and W^illiam son of
Andrew Milner, were tw^o other troublesome Lindsey people, some-
times partners in lawlessness. In January, 1373, commissions had
been issued to the mayor and bailiffs of Lincoln and to certain

* It seems possible that this writ was the result of a petition which
had been presented in parliament in October, 1377, to the effect that sheriffs
in their toums might not have power to take indictments of homicide, to
which the royal reply had been that the ' ancient laws ' should be observ^ed
{R.P. Ill, p. 21, petition xv). Sheriffs, of coiorse, had always taken such
indictments, and continued to do so.

others, including a certain William Warde of Saltfleet Haven, giving

instructicd)

for the making of a barge which the king has ordered to be made by the

people of the city of Lincoln, and empowering them to arrest timber,

boards, pitch and all other things required for the barge

and a^so mariners, navigators and as many as shall

be necessary for the safe conduct thereof to the place where the king
has appointed it to be brought.^

In the sessions of the peace in 1374, William de Thoresby was
indicted for assaulting John de Outhorpe of Lincoln, who had a
royal warrant to attach seafaring men ' for the defence and equip-
ment of a ship called le Barge of Lincoln ', in March and May, 1374
(LL 161, 278). He was also indicted as accessory to a felony (LL
272) and for various other cases of assault (LL 274, 275, 282), while
he and William Milner together were indicted for assaulting William
Warde of Saltfleet Haven, mentioned in the commission for * le
Barge ' (LL 276), for theft from William's son John (LL 279), and
for assaulting one of the king's bailiffs (LL 277).

William de Thoresby was arrested on the indictment for felony
and imprisoned in Lincoln castle, but when the justices of the
King's Bench delivered the gaol in Michaelmas term, 1375, the
constable of the castle reported that the prisoner had escaped.
The constable was fined a hundred shillings (the usual penalty for
neghgent custody), and the fugitive was put in exigend.^ He
must have been well-known to the authorities, for on at least one
previous occasion, in July, 1371, he had been tried and acquitted
before the justices of Gaol Deliver}^ at Lincoln on indictments
of felony before the Lindsey justices of the peace. ^

Meanwhile, William Milner came before the King's Bench
during the course of Michaelmas term, after he had been put in
exigend, and pleaded ' not guilty ' to the charge of felony. He
was tried later before the justices of Nisi Prius, and acquitted.*
The report of the case on the coram Rege roil refers to the fact that
Milner also stood indicted for trespass before the justices of the
peace, but there is no reference to his trial in the Bench on this
charge.

A considerable amount of material relates to the murder of
Robert Gascal, ' clerk ', of W^old Newton, and his servant. Like
Robert Neuland, this man had evidently made many enemies
by his lawlessness. In 1373 and 1374 he was indicted before the
Lindse}^ justices for the following crimes : (i) In 1369 seizing the
chaplain of Ulceby at night and detaining him until thirty shillings
in silver had been taken from him (LL 78) ; (ii) in 1371 stealing a
cow from Nicholas Twyte (LL 79) ; (iii) in 1374 breaking the

close of \\\v prior of SixhillH and cutting down and carrying away
his tnvs (LL 111).

i>ifi>ro long, perhaps as a result of these misdeeds, the tables
were turned and Oaseal himself became the victim of a scries of
attacks. In Augxist, 1374, a special commission of oyer and
terminer was issued to certain Lincolnshire magnates, as the result
of his ct)mplaints that his own dose had been broken, his goods
taken, and he himself assaulted and threatened at Wold Newton
and L<.mth by a band of armed men led by the parson of West
Keal.* In ^bly, 1375, a similar commission was issued with instruc-
tions * to make inquisition touching a petition by Robert Gascal,
clerk, that manv evil-doers lav in wait for him at Waldneuton,
chased him to the church there and besieged him therein and after-
wards took and imprisoned him \^ The unfortunate man's com-
plaints and petitions were of no avail to secure him protection,
however, and on June 21st, 1375, he and his servant, John de
Tliorgamby or John Shepherd, met a violent death at the hands
of some of their neighbours.

Richard Spenser, William Wariner, Thomas Wanner, Thomas
Pynder and W^illiam Gentil were indicted for the murder in the
Lindsey sessions of the peace in that same summer,^ and when the
King's Bench came to Lincoln in the following October, Richard
Spenser and Ahce, his wife, were freshly indicted, by some juries
as principals in the murder,* by others as the accessories of Thomas
Pynder.^ They appeared later in the term, after being put in
exigend, and pleaded ' not guilty ' ; eventually they were acquitted
on both counts by a jury at Nisi Prius in 1377, after Thomas Pynder
had been outlawed. Their acquittal as principals was followed
by that of Thomas Campyon, the parson of Beesby,* whose name
does not appear in the peace roll, but who was indicted before
the King's Bench for ' receiving ' them after the murder.' The
two Wariners and William Gentil, like Thomas Pynder, failed to
appear, were put in exigend and, presumably, outlawed.

Another series of entries on the Lindsey roll and the coram
Rege rolls relates to Walter de Shirland, the parson of Scotter,
and Joan atte Flete. Joan was indicted at two different sessions
of the peace for burgling the house of John Pardoner of Scotter
in 1373 (LL 65, 229). Walter was indicted, in the first place, for
felony on the separate charges of having ' received and maintained
her ', knowing her to have committed this felony (LL 230), and
of having raped her (LL 231) ; and in the second place, for various

trespasses, chiefly assault and close -breaking (LL 232-6). He
was freshly indicted on the first of these counts before the King's
Bench at Lincoln, was summoned to answ^er for the two felonies,
and finally appeared at Westminster in Trinity term, 1376, with
a royal pardon for them both. This disposed immediately of the
indictment for rape, but not of the indictment as Joan's accessory,
since she herself had not yet been tried or waived. On this charge
Walter was therefore released on mainprise until the following
Michaelmas term. By this time Joan had been waived for her
non-appearance, but in the interval Walter had been sued for a
debt of £20 before the sheriff of London by one of his own main-
pernors, and imprisoned in Newgate ; he was thus unable to appear
before the Bench in Michaelmas term until a writ of habeas corpus
had been issued to the sheriff on his behalf. When he finally came
into court once more, he again pleaded ' not guilty ', and a jury
was summoned. Another long delay then ensued, which enabled
Walter to procure another pardon, this time in general terms, in
consideration of which he was finlly released sine die in Trinity
term, 1377.^ There is no record of his trial for the various
trespasses for which he had been indicted in the sessions of the
peace.

An interesting case is that of Geoffrey Webster of Brabant,
alias Geoffrey Braban, a Flemish weaver, who was tried at the
delivery of Lincoln gaol by the King's Bench, on indictment before
the Lindsey justices for the murder, in 1374, of another Fleming,
Reginald Webster (LL 457 ).2 To the famiUar plea of ' not guilty '
the jury returned a verdict of homicide in self-defence, in language
which gives a vivid glimpse of contemporary life. The two com-
patriots were plaj'ing together ' at a ball game called tenes ', when
a quarrel arose between them, provoked by Reginald, who drew
his dagger and chased his opponent into a corner formed by two
walls (perhaps a comer of the tennis court ?), striking at him con-
tinuously with his dagger in an attempt to kill him ; the ^Tetched
Geoffrey, unable to escape, was forced in self-defence to draw
his own knife, ' called a quetil,' with which he struck Reginald in
the stomach ' so that he died '.^

* The man who commits homicide in self-defence

deserves but needs a pardon,'* and Geoffrey was accordingly sent
back to prison ' to await the roj'-al mercy '. He did not w^ait in
vain, for in Easter term, 1376, he was able to produce a royal pardon
and was thereupon released sijie die by the court.

A touch of comedy is given to the story by the indictment,
by a Lincolnshire jury in the King's Bench in Michaelmas term,

Tho fact that both the nion wero weavers and botli Flemings,

on I he latter si-ore. was no doubt responsible for the confusion
botwivn their names.

Apart from its picturesque circumstances, the chief interest
of the ease arises from tlie ft)roign birth of the parties. The treat-
ment of aliens in the central courts at this period has been fully
dealt with in a recent work," but the recognition afforded to them
in local as well as in the central common law-courts, illustrated
by this indictment in the sessions of the peace, has perhaps not
been fully reali.sed hitherto.

The case of John Ammory, the seneschal of the bishop of
Carlisle's liberty of Horncastle, is noteworthy rather for the offences
of which he was accused than for anything unusual in his trial.
The iurv of Horncastle indicted him at one of the sessions of the
peace in 1373, as follows : (i) Taking certain carcases of bullocks
from John Condewoke, against the latter's will (LL 80) ; (ii) extor-
tion (LL 81) ; (iii) habitually oppressing the tenants of the bishop's
court by fining them unjustly, at his own will, instead of according
to the assessment of the court (LL 83) ; (iv) seizing the * book of
the verdict ' of an indicting jury from the hands of one of the jurors
who was taking it to the justices, and forging a new one, which he
caused to be delivered to the justices in its place, in which many
men of the neighbourhood w^ere unjustly accused (LL 82).

Ammory was tried on these indictments in the court of King's
Bench in Michaelmas term, 1375, and acquitted.^ One is tempted
to believe that the arts of bribery and extortion, in which he was
evidently so well-versed, may have been employed to secure him
a favourable verdict.

As a final example from the Lindsey records may be taken
another case to which reference has been found in the patent roll.
In 1374 the jurors of C-'andleshoe wapentake accused Thomas de
Spridlington and a number of his servants of breaking into the
abbey of Barlings on the night of May 14th of that year, and com-
mitting assault on the constable of Cainby and two others who
were keeping watch there ' according to the statute of Winchester '
(LL 188). The abbot apparently had influence and succeeded in
persuading the government to investigate the crime without delay.

peace, Sir John Cavendish. Sir Thomas de Ingelby (the two justices
of the King's Bench), Sir Ralph de Cromwell and Nicholas Hatclyf,

plaint of the abbot of Barlyngs that Thomas de SpridUngton of

Winchester '.^

Of the three Kesteven cases which have been selected for
discussion the first is connected with a burglary by Eleanor daughter
of Simon Gilberd, for which sh*.-. herself was never brought to trial.
At the Kesteven sessions of January 11th, 1371, the Loveden jury
indicted her for house-breaking and the theft of £17 4s. 10|<i. from
John Crane on February 5th, 136(5, adding that the : '.olen money
was still at the manor of Caythoi'pe, which was said to be held of
William of Wykeham, the bishop of Winchester, by Richard de
Ravensere,'^ archdeacon of Lincoln (K 136).

A jury in the King's Bench at Lincoln in 1375 indicted Eleanor
for what is clearly the same crime, though tlie date mentioned is
March 17th, 1364, and the sum stolen exactly £17. The jury
further stated that after the crime a certain Robert de Staunesby
was taken by the constables and put in the stocks at Caythorpe
for ' receiving ' Eleanor, that the two bailiffs of Loveden wapentake
mainperned for his appearance at the next gaol delivery at Lincoln,
but that he subsequently fled, leaving chattels worth 30s., for
which the vill of Caythorpe was answerable. Finally, the jurors
said that John Aleyn, bailiff of the manor of Caj'-thorpe, took the
money from Eleanor on the day of the theft, though he knew it
to have been stolen, and that it had remained in the hands of
Sir William Bardolf, the lord of the manor, although, as forfeited
chattels, it belonged of right to the king.^

Eleanor Gilberd did not answer the summons to appear, as
is proved b}' the wTit of exigend issued against her in the following
Easter term, nor is there any further reference to her accessory,
Richard de Staunesby. Wilham Bardolf, however, who was sum-
moned to answer for the stolen money, appeared by attorne}'' before
the Bench while it was still at Lincoln and denied that the sum
in question had ever been in his hands or that it had been taken
from Eleanor by his bailiff, John Aleyn ; he said that John Crane
himself had pursued Eleanor after the theft and recovered the
money, but being afraid to keep it any longer in his own house,

'Appendix K, VIII (i) (p. 18i», below). Caythorpe was held in chief
by the service of one knight's fee, and had come to the Bardolf family through
Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Roger IJamory and Elizabeth his wife
(d.l361), who married Sir John Bardolf (Eliz. de Burgo, Inq. p.m. 34 Edw.
III). The connection of the bishop of Winchester with the manor (see
K 136) is not clear.

it again. A jury was siuniuonod Uyv Hihiry t-erm, l'.iH'>. to try thi«

whieh niij^ht arise from a ten years' okl crime in which the king's
tinancial interestss liappetied to be involved, though the sum at
sUike anKuuitetl only to £17.

A second series of extracts from tJie Kesteven records refers
to a (piarrel between two fairly eminent persons, John do liouceby
and William de Aiermyn or Eirmyn. Each of these men is described
in documents of the period as ' king's clerk '. John de Kouceby
was perhaps one of the king's architects, for he was frequently in
charge of building operations and repairs at dilTerent royal castles,
including Windsor castle.^ Wilham de Aiermyn in 1376, and
possibly earlier, was treasurer of Calais.^ The first reference to
him in the Kesteven peace rolls is the entry of an indictment at
a session in August, 1374, of three men for assaulting one of his
servants, Robert Knot (KK 53). Tlie quarrel with de Rouceby
is described in two indictments at a later sessions, on September
2t)th, 1374. In the first of these, a number of William de Aiermyn 's
servants are said to have niade an armed attack on John de Rouceby
at ISilkby on January 16th, besieged him in his manor and imprisoned
him from dawn till the ninth hour, so that he and his servants
dared not leave the manor until finally a love-day was arranged
between him and Wilham de Aiermyn by master John de Carlton
and Ehas de Midelton (KK 60). The truce was short-lived, how-
ever, for in the second indictment, William de Aiermyn's son,
Thomas, six of his servants, including Robert Knot, and ' Roger
Personsone de Wylughby ' are said to have lain in wait for some
of de Rouceby 's servants on the night of September 21st and
assaidted them with swords, pitchforks, clubs, and knives, leaving
two of them in danger of death (KK 61).

Though this second offence was presented in the sessions of
the peace only five days after it had occurred, the local authorities
were apparently unable or unwilling to bring the offenders to book,
and Ji^lm de Rouceby sought redress in higher quarters. In return
for the usual sura of half a mark paid into the hanaper, he secured
the appointment, on December 14th, under a special commission
of oyer and terminer, of a number of gentlemen, including Henry
Asty and Thomas Claymond, two of the Kesteven justices, to
investigate his complaint against William de Aiermyn, Thomas,
his son, EUas de Midelton and a very large number of their servants,

including all those named in the Kesteven indictments.' John de
Rouceby's own petition is couched in more vivid language than
that of the entries in the peace roll, and describes at length how
his enemies

besieged him and his servants at North Willyughby, within his

dwelling house there for a long time, making continuous assaults to
kill them there and burn his houses, so that he dared not go thence to
the king's castle of Soraerton to survey it and repair the defects
thereof .... assaulted him and his men and servants, so threatened
them that he dared not go to his own and cannot find servants to serve
him. whereb}^ his crops and hay have been lost through lack of servants,
his land is untilled, his meadow unmown and his other affairs undone.
Whether anything was achieved by the special commission has not
been discovered. An apparently uncompleted enrolment of the
two indictments occurs on the coram Rege roll for Michaelmas term,
1375,2 without mention of any resulting process or trial.

John de Rouceb}^ who later became a canon of Lincoln
cathedral and rector of Homcastle, met a violent death in 1388,
being robbed and murdered ' while habited in full canonicals on
the high road leading to Lincoln ', Sentence of excommunication
was passed against his murderers b}^ i.lie church,^ and a special
commission of oyer and terminer was appointed in February, 1389,
to try them,* but whether either spiritual or temporal measures
availed to avenge the unfortunate cleric remains uncertain.

A character who figures in both Kcsteven and Holland material
is John Clerk of Wcllboum, the chief constable of Skinnand^ and
several times a member of the Boothby Grattoe jury at the Kesteven
sessions of 1374 (KK 4, 15, 33, 40, "^73). In 1373 he was forcibly
imprisoned and compelled to pay a ransom of ten marks by a certain
John Jope, evidently a somewhat suspicious character, who was
subsequently tried before the King's Bench at Lincoln on an
indictment before the Kesteven justices for the murder of his own
wife.*

At one of the Holland sessions of the peace between 1373
and 1375 John Clerk was himself indicted for ' receiving ' John
Tengy of Whaplode, though he knew him to be a thief (H 69). He
came into the King's Bench at Lincoln on this indictment but
was released on mainprise for a year pending the conviction of
his principal. At the same time he was tried and acquitted on
an indictment for theft, made in the sheriff's t^urn. He appeared
at Westminster in Michaelmas tenn, 1376, Tengy having by then
been outlawed, and pleaded that the indictment upon which he
had been brought before the court was insufhcient because it made

statement was found to be correct, and ho was accordingly dis-

The only other Holland case which seems to call for special
mention is again c)ne of those whose significance is due to tlio fact
that it concerned the king's tinancial interest. Bcnedi(!t Hoghj'rd
and John tie Bynglay were inilicted before the Holland justices
of the peace (H 73, 74) and also before the King's Bench^ at Lincoln
for having, in the autumn of 1372,* taken 4i sacks of wool, upon
which they had not paid customs, to a place called * Frcstonhorde ',
wlicre they placed it on board a ship called ' le Clement ', belonging
to John .^lalb^oke, ' schyjilord '. The ' schypmester ', John Hunte,
was said to have been their accompHce and to have received the
wool, intending to take it overseas. One of the King's Bench
juries further stated that the wool was found by John Malbrok
and lioger Broude, the bailiffs of the customs collectors, William de
SpaMie and Thomas Aubrey, to whom they deUvered it.^

The three men, HoghjTrd, Bynglay, and Hunte, were apparently
never apprehended and do not appear in the coram Bege rolls, the
only trial which resulted from these various indictments being
that of William de Spayne, wiio was summoned into the King's
Bench at Lincoln to answ^er for the disposal of the wool. De Spayne
was an important man, prominent in the service of the duke of
Lancaster and a member of the commissions of the peace for Holland
of 1368, 1374, and 1375. « He and Thomas Aubrey were first
appointed collectors of customs ' in the port of Boston and all places
to Grymesby on the one side, and there, and Blakeneye on the
other side, and there ' in September, 1369.' The appointment
was renewed m August, 1370,^ but in October, 1372, Frederick
T3'lnye was appointed to serve with de Spa3'^ne instead of Aubrey,
who was said to be ' so incapable that he cannot labour herein '.'
His incapability was probably due to illness or old age, for when

^ Great importance was attached to the form of the indictment, in the
fourteenth century as in later times. Marowe, in a lecture entirely devoted
to the subject, gives a list of the five requirements for a correct indictment

he was summoned before the King's Bench in 1375, the sheriflE
retui'ned him as dead.^

WiUiam de Spayne thus appeared alone before the Bench at
Lincoln and stated, in the first place, that he had received the
4^ sacks of wool taken from the ' Clement ', short of one stone ;
a jury was summoned to decide this issue and gave a verdict in his
favour. He then affirmed that he had accounted to the exchequer
for all the wool, less one stone, and asked that his statement be
proved by reference to the exchequer records. A writ of cerciorari
was accordingly sent to the treasurer and barons of the exchequer,
and the case was -adjourned until Easter term, 137G, when they
sent word in response to the writ as follows : on examining the
records it was found that de Spayne and Aubrey had accounted for
£23 3s. Id., being the price of two sarplers and one poke of wool, or,
by weight, 4^ sacks, sold at £4 3s. 4d. a sack, but the accounts con-
tained no mention of whose the wool had been, nor by whom taken
into the king's hand. The king's attorney thereupon claimed that
the wool mentioned in the exchequer roll was not the same as that
referred to in the various presentments upon which de Spayne was
being tried ; this issue was submitted to another jury, which was
held at Nisi Prius before Hilary term, 1377, and again gave a verdict
in favour of de Spajiie ; namely, that the wool for which he had
already accounted in the exchequer was the same as that for which
he was now being held answerable. The judgment of the court
is not recorded on the coram Bege roll, but it is safe to assume that
de Spayne, as the result of this verdict, was dismissed sine die.

Limitations of space forbid the description of all the cases
contained in the appendixes to the various Lincolnshire rolls ;
moreover, many of the trials in the King's Bench were characterised
by no unusual features but followed the normal procedure of the
court, and are covered by the summary of trials and procedure
given in the previous chapter. Enough has been said here, perhaps,
to show what a mine of information, legal, economic, and social,
awaits investigation in the various tj^es of record upon which
this study is based, and how greatly the value of these records may
be increased when they are used to supplement each other.

THE MURDER OF SIR WILLIAM DE CANTILUPE

The murder of the young Sir William de Cantilupe in 1375^
virtually brought to an end an old and distinguished family which
had, for many j-ears, played a considerable part in English history.

This fact, l<>g(.>tlu>r with the cold-hloodoci and hnital oinMimstjinoes
of the c-rinu" and tin- mnul)(,-r i)f ihnso accused of coni])hcity in it,
most of thoni the niunU'red man's servants and one of them his
wife, all contributed to n\ake it something of a cause celchre. The
comparaiive silence of contemporary records on the sul)ject is thero-
forc the nuTe remarkable. The Inquisirione.'^ post mortem and
the close, line, and patent rolls naturally contain ample (ividence
of the death of Willian\ de Cantilupe, but, with the exception
of one pardon enrolled on the patent roll for 13S7, whicli will be
discussed later, no reference in any printed material has been
found tcv the fact that he was murdered. Thus, it is not surprising
that later writers, including tlie authors of the articles on the
Cantilupe family in the ('omphtr Pcerar/e and the f)irliotiari/ of
Xntioxnl Biography, not having seen the rejjorts of the indictments
at the sessions of tlie peace and of the trial before the King's Bench,
reproduced here, should have remained silent on the subject. It
has therefore seemed worth while to collect as much information
as possible about the Cantilupes in the latter part of the fourtecsnth
century in order to establish the circumstances under which the
murder was committed, and to suggest a possible motive for the
deed.

1. THE CANTILUPE FAMILY*

The early history of the family is too well-known to call for
more than the briefest reference here. The younger branch, to
which the victim of the murder of 1375 belonged, was foimded
by Nicholas, a brother of the third WilUam de Cantilupe and of
Thomas, the saintlj^ bishop of Hereford. By his marriage to
Eustacia, the daughter of Ralph FitzHugh, Nicholas acquired
large estates, including Greasley, in Nottinghamshire, which became
the family seat from that time, Ilkeston in Derbyshire, Middle
Claydon in Buckinghamshire, and the three Lincolnshire manors
of Lavington (or Lenton), Kingthorpe, and Withcall. His son,
William, married as his second wife a Yorkshire heiress, Eva de
Boltby, and added Ravensthorpe and its adjacent manors of Boltby
and Thirlby to the family lands. He received a writ of summons
to parliament in 1299, and had an active career in the service of
Edward I.^ He left two sons ; the elder, another William, died
young and seems to have been in no way distinguished ; the younger,
Sir Nicholas de Cantilupe, was the most notable member of this
branch of the famUv. The date of his birth is unknown, but as
early as 1322 he accompanied Edw^ard II to Scotland.^ He was

1 The name is spelt in a variety of ways. "^Ihe form ' de Cantilupo ' appears
throughout the peace roll, but is varied, in the coram Rege rolls, by ' Caunti-
loue ', ' Canteloue ', and ' Cantiloue ' ; all these forms, together with
' Cauntilieu ', ' Cantelo ', and ' Canteloo ' appear on the close and patent
rolls.

knighted in 1326,' and thenceforward until his death in 1355 he
was constantly employed by Edward 111 both in peace and war.
He served on many judicial commissions in Nottinghamshire and
Derbyshire, including the extraordinary commission sent out in
December, 1340, to hear and determine ' tlie felonies, trespasses
and excesses ' of the king's ministers,- and he played a not incon-
spicuous part as a supporter of the king in his quarrel with the
archbishop of Canterbury in 1341. ^ Diplomatic and military
duties took him frequently to Scotland, Flanders, and France,
and he was with the king at Creepy in 1346.*

Sir Nicholas Was a man of some piety, which he demonstrated
in the characteristic fashion of the age, his chief religious project
being the founding of the small Carthusian house of Beauvale,
at Greasley, for a prior and twelve monks. He also founded the
Cantilupe Chantry at Lincoln ' for the support of three chaplains
.... to celebrate in the cathedral church at the altar of St.
Nicholas for the good estate of the said Nicholas and Joan his
consort '.^ His works of piety were carried on after his death
by his widow, who, in 1358, founded a chantry of five chaplains
at Lincoln to celebrate divine service for her husband's soul and
her own.*

Throughout his life Sir Nicholas was closely connected with
local affairs in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Lincolnshire,
where the principal estates of the family w^ere situated. Like his
father and grandfather, he lived at Greasley, receiving, in 1340,
the royal permission to ' crenellate his dw^elling ' there.' In
Lincolnshire, in addition to Lavington, Kingthorpe and Withcall,
he had other lands, which he held for life, some of them by right
of his wife, Joan, who had been the wife of Sir William de Kyme,®
and some ' of the grant of Roger Lestraunge '.^

By iiis first wife, Tiphaine, Sir Nicholas had one son, WiUiam,
whose own two sons w^ere aged thirteen and eleven at the time of
their grandfather's death. ^" By his second wife, Joan, who sur-
vived him, he had no children. Before he died he arranged for
the disposal of his property in the following way. He settled
half his lands, namely Greasley, Ilkeston, the two Buckinghamshire
manors of ^Middle Claydon and EUesborough, and the three Lincoln-
shire manors on his wife for her life, with remainder to Nicholas,

tiio elder grandson, and the lioirs of his body, roniainder to William,
tlio younger grandson, and the heirs of his hody, remainder to tlie
rigiit heirs of Nieholas. the grandfather.' The rest of the lands,
namely the Yorkshire manors of Kavensthorpe, Boltby, Thiriby,
Stainley, Farnely, As^erlawo, Braythwayt and Kedmir(!, he settled
by a fine on himself and Joan his wife and the heirs of their bodies,
remainder to ^\'illiam, his younger grandson, and the heirs of his
body, remainder to Nieholas, the elder grandson, and the heirs
of his Ivxiy, remainder to his own right heirs. ^ Thus, at Joan de
Caniilupe's death in 1302, the first group of lands, including the
house at Greasley, went to the younger Nicholas, and the second
group to the younger William. When the younger Nicholas died
childless, his share of the lands went to his brother. Their father,
the okier \\'illiam, received nothing until, on the death of his second
son without children, the lands reverted to him as ' the right heir
of Nicliolas the grandfather '.

After Sir Nicholas' death the Cantilupes no longer played
such an important part in public affairs. His son, William, who
mamed Joan, daughter of tSir Adam de Welle, of Lincolnshire,
never received a writ of summons to parliament, nor do the close
and patent rolls bear any record of his activities, except for a few
unimportant entries, such as the witnessing of pardons given by
the king for good service in the French wars, the acknowledging
of debts, and the like.^

Nicholas, the elder of William's two sons, apparently took
up his abode at Greasley when he succeeded to half the family lands
on the death of his step-grandmother in 1362. In 1366 we find
him complaining that Sir Ralph Paynel and others had broken
into his castle at Greasley, ravished his wife, Katherine, and carried
her away, together with goods and chattels of his.'* A commission
of oyer and terminer was appointed to investigate the case, but
no further reference to it has been found. This is particularly
unfortunate because Paynel was accused of complicity in the younger
William's murder in 1375 and one would be glad to know more of
his relations with the Cantilupes. He was himself a member of
a family which had been prominent for many years in Nottingham-
shire and Lincolnshire ; he served as sheriff of Lincolnshire in
1376-77° and the close and patent rolls contain many references
to him as a member of commissions of different kinds under
Edward III and Richard II.

The younger Nicholas de Cantilupe died at Avignon in
1370-71, leaving no children, and his widow, Katherine, almost

immediately married Sir John Auncell,* another important Lincoln-
shire man, who represented his county in the parliament of March,
1377.2 During the year 1371 Sir John and his wife were involved
in a law-suit with the younger William over the three Lincolnshire
manors of the Cantilupes, Katherine claiming that she had been
enfeoffed of them jointly with Nicholas, her late husband, while
William asserted that his brother had held the manors in tail with
remainder to himself in tail.^ The manors were committed to the
keeping of WilUam, as the nearest heir, pending the settlement
of the suit in chancery, and were finally adjudged to him in accord-
ance witli the terms of the entail.^ This Sir John Aunccll, like Sir
Ralph Paynel, seems to have been a somewhat turbulent person ;
he was tried in the King's Bench at Lincoln in 1375 on an indict-
ment for rape and various indictments for assault,^ one of his
victims being Sir WilUam ]\Iarmyon, a member of the commission
of the peace for Kesteven at the time.^ Sir John was acquitted
on all the charges, but the verdict may well have been due to his
influential position rather than to a beUef in his innocence on the
part of the jury.

Wilham de Cantilupe, the younger, had livery of his brother's
lands in September, 1371,' having already succeeded to the York-
shire estates on the death of Joan de Cantilupe in 1362. Only a
few meagre details of his career can be ascertained from the avail-
able records. He married Maud, daughter and heiress of Sir
Philip Nevil of Scotton, Malmeton, and Grimsthorpe.^ We know
that he went abroad on a pilgrimage, for in December, 1367, he
received the royal hcence to ' pass beyond the seas ' for this pur-
pose, with a small retinue, and to nominate attorneys in his absence.^
In September, 1371, he was again abroad, this time in Aquitaine,
on the king's service, though in what capacity is not clear, and the
homage due from him for his brother's lands was accordingly respited
till the following Christmas.^" He probably Uved for part of the
year at Greasley, which he inherited from his brother, though
at the time of his own death in 1375 he was living at his wife's
manor of Scotton.

Maud de Cantilupe, by whom William had no children,
subsequently married twice. Her second husband was Sir Thomas
de Kydale of South Ferriby, in Lincolnshire, who was sheriff of
Lincoln in 1374-75^^ and again in 1377-78. ^^ -phey were married
in 1379, and in October of that j^ear received the royal pardon

The lands of the young William de ('aniiiui)e in Nottingham-
shire, Derbyshire. Lineolnshire, anil Buckinghamshire reverted to
his father* who. however, never obtained possession of the York-
shire lands, which had l)een granted to feoifees for a term of years.*
The elder William did not long survive his sons, and when he died
in 1377. without surviving issue, his line died with him. The
Cantilupe lands were claimed by the two representatives of the
elder branch of the family, Sir William de la Zouche of Haryng-
worth and John de Hastings, a minor, the descendants respectively
of Milliccnt and Joan, sisters and co-heiresses of George de Cantilupe
(d. 1273) ; they were eventually obtained by Sir William de la
Zouche.^

2. THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE MURDER

Only the bare facts of the Cantilupe murder can be gleaned
from the Lindsey peace roll. The sum of the information given
by the juries in the sessions of the peace is represented by the
statement that on the night of Friday, March 23rd or 30th, 1375,
Sir WilUam de Cantilupe was murdered in his room at Scotton
by twelve members of his household, including his esquire, his
seneschal, Maud his wife, and Agatha her maid.

The picturesque and gruesome details of the crime are supplied
by the juries who made their presentments before the court of
King's Bench. They tell us that William was slain while sitting
on his bed in his room at night, being ' in the peace of God and the
king ', and that the murderers bathed his mortal wounds in water,
presumably to close them up and staunch the blood ; they then put
the body, naked, in a sack and carried it on horseback to Graying-
ham, some four miles away, where thoy threw it out into a field,
clothed it afresh in fine garments, with spurs and a belt, and left
it there, in order that people passing that way and finding it, would
not suspect them, but would believe the crime to have been com-
mitted bj' unknown men. The coram Rege juries give also some
additional information about the accused, as that one of them
was the dead man's ' botiller ' and one of them his ' chamberleyn '.

INTRODUCTION Ixxi

Not only do these details afford an illuminating glimpse into
the household of a wealthy country gentleman of the time, but
they show, what is even mon^ interesting, that this cold-blooded
crime was no ordinary murder, but a case of petty treason. A
few years before, the famous statute of 1352,^ in drawing a dis-
tinction between high treason and petty treason, had defined the
latter as ' when a servant slayeth his master or a wife her husband,
or when a man secular or religious slayeth his prelate to whom he
oweth faith and obedience '. The terms used by the presenting
juries U) describe the murder, tradiciose, false et sediciose, seditaciane
precogitata, are those which it was customary to apply to treason
and which, to the medieval mind, at once conveyed that most
heinous of crimes, treachery to the lord. Cases of petty treason
are rarely found in fourteenth century sessions of the peace, and
it is therefore particularly interesting to find as clear an example
as this, which includes two out of the three types of homicide
defined as petty treason by the statute.

Not the least curious point in connection with the murder
is the lack of unanimity on the part of the presenting juries as to
the date when it took place. It is tru^^ that the seven juries who
made presentments before the justices of the peace in the summer
sessions of 1375, are fairly well agreed. Five of the seven give
the date as Friday after the Annunciation or before Mid-Lent,
namely March 30th ; the other two give it as Friday before the
Annunciation, namely March 23rd. Probably this divergence is
the result merely of a slip on the part either of the jury, who were
muddled, or of the clerk, who was careless and wrote ante instead
of post. The juries, however, who made presentments before the
King's Bench at Lincoln in October, 1375, give as many as ten
other dates, ranging over a period of two months, as follows :

Tuesday before Septuagesima, February 13th.

Tuesday after Septuagesima, February 20th.

Friday before the first Sunday in Lent, March 9th.

Tuesday after the first Sunday in Lent, March 13th.

Friday after St Gregory, March 16th.

Monday after St Gregory, March 19th.

Saturday after the Annunciation, March 31st.

Thursday before Passion Sunday, April 5th.

Friday after St. Ambrose, April 6th.

Wednesday before Palm Sunda3% April 11th.
Some uncertainty might reasonably be expected on the part
of men who had only memory to rely upon and who, in the case
of these coram Rege juries, were speaking of an event which had
occurred six months previously, but a difference of opinion as
marked as tliis makes one wonder if their information on other points
was equally unreliable.

3. THE TRIAL

SixUH^n people in all were accused of the murder, or of com-
plicity in it. Iti-fon- the justice's of the ])(>at;e in tlie suninicr of 1375
and before the Kind's Bench at Lincoln in tiie autunni of the same
year. Tliey were Kichard Oyse, the esquire, Robert Coke or Cook,
the * botiller ', Hubert de Clethaiu. tlie seneschal, Augustine IMorpath,
William w AValter Chaumberle^Ti or Ciuuimberleynmiin, John
Chaumborleyn or Hcnxteman, \A'illiani de Hole or Haylo, John
Barneby de Bekingiuim, John de J5arnel)y or John Tayllour dr
Rarneby, the ' chaumberleyn ', Henry Taskare, Augustine Forster
or Forester, Augustine Warner, John Astyn, Maud de Cantilupe,
her maid. Agatha Lovel or Frere, and {Sir Ralpfi Paynel. Six of
these names appear only in the coram Bege indictments, one onlj^
in the peace roll, the others appear in both.

Only two of these, Richard Gj'se and Robert Coke, were actually
condemned. They were first indicted before the justices of the
peace, Gyse's name being mentioned by six and Coke's by five
out of the seven juries. They were also appealed of the murder
by Maud de Cantilupe in the county court of Lincoln on Monday,
June 25th, 1375, before the sheriff, Sir Thomas de Kydale, and
the coroners. When the King's Bench came to Lincoln both the
appeal and the indictments were removed before it and, at the
same time, the two men were freshly indicted by the juries who
came to make presentments there. When tliey came up for trial,
Maud, who was herself under an'cst, withdrew her appeal, for which
she subsequently had to pay a fine, and they were therefore acquitted
on that score. They were then tried on the indictments, convicted
by the trial jury, and condemned to be drawn and hanged,^ this
being the usual punishment for petty treason as distinct from
ordinary felony. ^

Maud de Cantilupe was indicted by some juries as a principal
and b}' others as an accessorj'^ and was tried on both charges before
the King's Bench at Lincoln. She was acquitted, of the murder
and of aiding and abetting Gyse and Coke and was released under
mainprise until the other principals should have been convicted
or outlawed.^ One of her mainpernors on this occasion was Sir
Thomas de Kydale, the sheriff of Lincoln, whom she afterwards
married. When she appeared before the King's Bench at West-
minster in Michaelmas term, 1376, the rest of the accused had been
outlawed and she was acquitted of aiding and abetting them.*

1 Appendix LL, XXIX (i) (p. 142, below).

2 Edward Ill's statute does not mention the punishment, but according
to Blackstone {Comm. iv, 204) ' the punishment of petit treason in a man
is to be drawn and hanged, in a woman to be drawn and burnt '.

were all principals ', Stephen, History of the Criminal Law of England iii.

INTRODUCTION Ixxiii

Robert de Cletham, the seneschal, was indicted before the
King's Bench of the murder, before the justices of the peace merely
of aiding and abetting. He, like Maud, was tried before the King's
Bench at Lincoln, and, like her, was acquitted of the murder and
of aiding and abetting Gyse and Coke, who had already been con-
victed. He was then released under mainprise until Michalemas
term of the following year, when he appeared at Westminster and
was acquitted of aiding and abetting the others, who had mean-
while been outlawed.^

ISir Ralph Paynel's trial lasted longer than any of the others.
He was indicted before the King's Bench at Lincoln of harbouring
Maud de Cantilupe, Richard Gyse, and Agatha, in his house at
Caythorj3e, knowing them to be guilty of the murder or of complicity
in it. He was dismissed under mainprise until Michaelmas term
of the following year, but was not finally tried until Easter term,
1377, when he was acquitted by a jury at Nisi Prius.^

A certain amount of mystery surrounds Agatha, Maud de
Cantilupe 's maid, who was accused, with her raistress, both as
principal and as accessory. The juries in the sessions of the peace
refer to her merely as Agatha, the ancilla of Maud. In some of
the King's Bench presentments she appears as Agatha Lovel, in
others as Agatha Frere. Like so many of the accused, she failed
to appear before the court and was waived, but in her case we are
given an explanation for her failure to appear. Thomas de Thom-
hagh and John Bate, baihffs of Lincoln castle, were indicted before
the King's Bench at Lincoln for having aided the escape from
prison, on Monday, August 27th, of Agatha Lovel, imprisoned
because she had been appealed in the county court of the murder
of Sir William de Cantilupe and was notoriously suspect of the
same.^ If Agatha was really appealed it can only have been at
the suit of Maud, her late mistress, but there is no other reference
to the fact in the coram Eege rolls. Thomas de Thornhagh was
acquitted of felony but fined for negligence in connection with
the escape.* John Bate was eventually pardoned."

Of the rest of the accused, the fate of William de Hole does
not appear on the rolls. Henry Taskare, John Barneby de Beking-
ham, Augustine Forster, Augustine Warner, John Astyn, Augustine
Morpath, John Barneby or John Tayllour of Barneby, William
or Walter Chaumberleyn, and John Chaumberleyn or Henxteman
were outlawed for failure to appear before the Bench and no further
record has been found of their names, with one curious exception.
This is the enrolment, on the patent roll for the year 1387, of a
pardon, dated November 11th, granted 'at the supplication of

and shadtnv}'. In particular one would give much to know the
motive of the crime, and some speculation on this point, though
it cannot bo anything but tentative, seems legitimate in a con-
cluding paragraph. The story as told by the presenting juries
atfords no clue, but some of the facts revealed by the printed records,
w hen taken together with the events of the trial, appear to have a
certain significance.

From 1374 to 1375 Sir Thomas de Kydale was sheriff of Lincoln.
It was thus before him in the county court that Maud de Cantilupe
appealed Richanl Gyse and Robert Coke, it was he who was
responsible for summoning the trial juries to Lincoln when the
King's Bench sat there at Michaelmas, and he acted as one of
Maud's mainpernors during her trial. Kydale was succeeded as
sheriff in October, 1375, by Roger Beler,'' but during the year
1376-77 the sheriff was Sir Ralph PajTiel, who, nine years before,
had been involved in a serious quarrel with the younger Nicholas
de Cantilupe and who was acquitted actually during his tenure of
oflBce of compHcity in WilUam de Cantilupe's death. In Novem-
ber, 1377, Sir Thomas de Kydale was once more appointed sheriff,
and two years later, in 1379, he married Maud de Cantilupe. For
the greater part of three years these two men must have practically
controlled the affairs of Lincolnshire, and if, as would seem to have
been the case, they were both interested in procuring the death
of William de Cantilupe, the one because he wanted to marry his
wife, the other in order to pay off old scores, they were admirably
placed to do so. Is it not at least a plausible hypothesis that
Maud de Cantilupe planned the murder with the cognisance of her
lover, Kjdale, and of her husband's enemy, Paynel, and bribed
the members of the household to perform the deed ; that, in order
to divert suspicion from herself, she subsequently appealed two
of them ; that Kydale used his influence as sheriff to secure her
acquittal by the juries whom he summoned to Lincoln in October,
1375 ; and that Paynel, in the same way, suborned the juries
which acquitted Maud as an accessory at W^estminster in 1376
and himself at Lincoln before the justices of Nisi Prius in 1377 ?
It will probably never be known if there is any truth in this sugges-
tion as to the motive for the crime, but it seems at least to meet
the facts of the case as far as they can be ascertained, and it is
therefore set down here for what it is worth.

PEOPLE IN THE LINCOLNSHIRE RECORDS

Tlio oharactors who figure in the Lincolnshire records fall into
two main chisses. There is, first, the group from whom the justices
of tlie peace were drawn, nobles and country gentry like the Canti-
lupes. whose names occur constantly t>n tlie parliament rolls, the
calendars of close and patent rolls and other published documents,
and whose pedigrees and pubhc careers may be studied by anyone
with the time and patience to search the considerable quantity of
available material. These men filled all the important administra-
tive post« of the shire and were at the same time in close and
constant touch with the central government, sometimes even in
personal attendance at court. It was through them that the king
was able to keep in touch with the mass of his subjects. Some of
them, of course, had lands in manj' different counties and occupied
many important posts, so that their knowledge of local conditions
in any one district cannot have been profound ; but it is rare to
find one of them appointed to office in a locaUty with which he or
his family had not some connection. In any case, he would always
be associated with lesser men whose interests were more purely
local than his owti. The group which governed the affairs of
Lincolnshire and the adjacent counties at the end of the fourteenth
century was not large, even when due allowance is made for the
smallness of the medieval population,^ for the same men served
again and again as justices and commissioners of various kinds,
sheriffs, escheators, and knights of the shire. They must all have
been known to one another, for, apart from their association in
public business, many of them were connected by marriage, and
the records show them constantly witnessing each other's wills
and charters, going bail for each other, and, not infrequently,
conducting law-suits against each other.

The second group consists of the ordinary folk, the lesser
local officials, such as constables, bailiffs, and reeves, who did much
of the actual work of administration for the great men ; the well-
to-do freeholders and householders from whom juries in the sessions
of the peace were mainly drawn ; and the small tradesmen and
craftsmen, country parsons, monks and peasants with whom the
majority of cases presented at the sessions were concerned :
Baxsteres and brewesteres and bocheres manye,
Wollewebsteres and weueres of lymien,
TaiUours and tynkeres and tolleres in marketes,
Masons and mynours and many other craftes.^

1 Gasquet estimates the population of England and Wales in 1377 at
about 2,350,000, as against four or five millions before the plague. The Black
Death, oj 1.348 and 1349, p. 225. Later estimates put it at a higher figure,
e.g. A. E. Levett, The Black Death on the Estates of the See of Winchester,
Oxford Studies in Social and Legal. History, vol. v.

- Piers the Plowman, Prol., 216-23' (B version).

INTRODUCTION Ixxvii

The histories of these people, their very names, in fact, are to be
found, as a rule, only in such local records as happen to have been
preserved in private collections or in the archives of the central
government.

This chapter represents an attempt, first, to put together
such personal facts about the Lincolnshire justices of the peace
as have been revealed by a necessarily incomplete study of some
of the published records, with a view to illustrating what manner
of men they were and what kind of public duties they were called
uix)n to fill ;^ and, secondly, by an examination of the peace rolls,
to discover something about the names and occupations of the
lesser folk.

1. THE JUSTICES OF THE PEACE

Before proceeding to discussion of individuals, a further
classification is necessary. The personnel of the fourteenth and
fifteenth cenlur}- commissions of the peace formed, almost invariably,
three separate groups. Ac the head of each commission occurred
the names of two or three great men who were often members
of commissions in many different counties at the same time. Many
of them never attended the sessions in person, and even if they
did so, they were not paid a salary, as were the other members of
the commission who sat.^ Secondly, came the ' men of law ',
judges or Serjeants of the central courts, usually two or three in
number, from whom, at this period, the members of the quorum
were drawn. The third, and much the largest gToup, consisted
of the ordinary country gentry, some of whom would seem to have
been always present at the sessions, and upon whom, in this, as in
other respects, fell the main brunt of the work.

The members of the various commissions for the period of
the five Lincolnshire peace rolls have been grouped according to
this classification upon the accompanying tables ; the tables show,
also, the commissions of which each one was a member. The
Ust contains six magnates, seven lawyers, and twenty-seven country
gentlemen.

Magnates^ : No tiling need be said here of the first and greatest
member of this group. Owing to his absence from England between

* It would have been impossible to make this study of personnel an
exhaustive one. I have, for the most part, drawn my information from such
obvious and accessible sources as Dugdale's Baronage, P'oss' J udges of England,
the list of justices of labourers printed by Miss Putnam (Stat, of Labourers,
App., pp. 44r-138), and other printed lists and calendars.

»The statute of 1390 (14 Richard II, c. 11), which laid down that no
duke, earl, baron, or btinneret should be paid wages as a justice of the peace,
was almost certainly a confirmation of existing practice, not an innovation.

' I include under this heading those ^\ho received, or whose ancestors
had received, a personal summons to parliament, and who would, according
to modem doctrine, be considered holders of a barony by writ.

Ixxvui INTHODrcTlON

1370 and 1376.' John of Gaunt cannot have attended the sessions
of till- peace in any of the counties to wliieli he was apjxunted durinji;
these years.'- Tiie presence of liis nanu' on the Lincolnshire com-
missions of 13t)S and 1371 is probably ex])laincd by the fact that
much of Lincolnshire, including the iionour of Bolingbroke, formed
part of the lands whicii were later to be known as the Duchy of
Lancaster, and which had already * become united in the hands of
John oi Gaunt and were being wehlcd together b}' an unified
management ami control '.^ >Several of the men to be mentioned
below were connected in some way with the administration of these
gre^it possessions.

The earl of Angus, on the other hand, may well iiave sat in
person on occasion. He had inherited lands in Lincolnshire from
his mother's brother, William de Kyme,* and from 1350 until his
death in 1381 he was a member of many commissions of the peace,
of array, and of sewers in Kesteven.^ He was removed for a time
from the Kesteven commission of the peace in December, 1370,
on the grounds that he was to be ' charged by the king with other
matters touching him and the realm ',* but in December, 1372,
he was appointed custos rotulorum, a fact which argues that his
post was not intended to be a sinecure.

Sir Ralph Basset of Sapcote, Leicestershire, became Lord
Basset, according to modern doctrine, by virtue of a summons
to the parhaments of January, 1371, and October, 1372,' but when
he died, in 1378, leaving only daughters, the barony fell into abey-
ance. His connection with Lincolnshire began in 1369, when, on
the death of his cousin, Robert Colvill, he became lord of Castle
Bytham and its appendant manors. He seems thereafter to have
lived at Castle Bytham in preference to Sapcote, and he was
certainly buried there.® He saw much service abroad, fovight at
Cre9y, and went to France with the duke of Lancaster in 1372, so
that it was only during the last few years of his life that he was
appointed to Leicestershire and Lincolnshire commissions of the
peace. According to the session headings of roll K, he presided
at the sessions held at Grantham in 1371.

Sir Ralph de Cromwell was the son of Ralph Cromwell of
CromweU, in Nottingham, and West Hallam, in Derbyshire, and
became lord of the manor of Tattershall by his marriage to Maud,
sister and heiress of Sir William Bernake.' He seems also to have
held lands of John of Gaimt in the honour of Tickhill.^" He became

Lord Cromwell by receiving a summons to parliament from 1375
onwards. In 1373 he was retained by indenture to serve the king
with twenty men-at-arms and twenty archers ; and in 1386 he
was a banneret. From 1371 he was a member of commissions
of the peace, of array, and of sewers in Lindsey.^ He died in 1398.

Sir Andrew Luterell, or Luttrell, of Irnham (Lord Luttrell),
had lands in both Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, and in the
intervals of service in France and Scotland^ served on various
commissions in Lincolnshire. He was a member of practically
every commission of the peace in Kesteven from 1366 until his
death, ^ and presided at the Corby sessions in 1371. He died in
1390 and was buried at Irnham.'* His first wife was the daughter
of Sir Geoffrey Scrope, chief justice of the King's Bench, his second,
the daughter of Sir Philip le Despenser. He is to be distinguished
from another Sir Andrew Luterell, who married Elizabeth de Vere,
daughter of the earl of Devon, ^ and died in 1381.

Sir Robert de Willoughby (Lord VVilloughby de Eresby) held
man}' Lincolnshire manors, as well as lands in the counties of
Northampton, Norfolk, Derby, and Cambridge.^ He was only
twenty-three in 1373, when he was aj^pointed ' chief keeper and
justice ' of the Lindsey commission of the peace.' In the same
year he was retained by indenture to serve the king with thirty
men-at-arms and thirty archers, and went to Fr?,nce under the
duke of Lancaster. 8 Thenceforward he was on many commissions
of the peace, of array, and of sewers in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and
Suffolk. He went to Spain with the duke in 1387, and died in
August, 1397, leaving five sons. His will contains the following
instructions :

My body to be buried in the Chapel of the Holy Trinity of my Chapel
of Spillesbj'. I will that the master of the said chantry, being parish
priest of Spillesby, shall have my best horse and my best saddle for a
mortuary, and in satisfaction of my tithes and obligations forgotten or
negligently paid by me and my officers."

Men of law : Sir Henry Asty, the custos rotnlorum on the
Holland commission of 1368, appears on commissions of the peace
and of sewers in Holland from 1364.^° He was not, apparently, a
serjeant-at-law, and seems to have held no important legal post
outside his own county until he was appointed chief baron of the
exchequer in November, 1375. He remained at the exchequer
until December, 1380, when he was succeeded as chief baron by
Robert Plessington, but acted as a justice of Common Pleas until
the early part of 1383.^^ From the time of his elevation to the
Bench he was a justice of the peace in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex
as well as in Holland and Kesteven. '-

Ixxx INTR()J)UC"TION

Sir John CavemlisJi, chief justice' of iUv King's Btiich from
July, 1372, until his citvith in 1381, is well known lo every student
of hist<>ry as one of llie victims of the rebels during the (ircat
Revolt.' Students of the Year Books may remember him in a
pleasanter connection, as the author of a famous remark during a
discussion in court, as to the age of a certain lady :
II n'jui mil lioniine en Englctcrrc que puy adjudge a droit deins age
ou do pleiu age ; car ascun feiaes que sont do xxx aus voilent appurer
d'age do xviii ans. ('rhcro is no man in England who can rightly judge
whether a weinan bo under age or of full age ; for all women of thirty
years would like to appear eighteen. )-

Though his own county was Suffolk, Cavendish served on innumer-
able judicial commissions, especially of the peace and of Gaol
Delivery, in Lincolnshire as in other eastern counties throughout
the 'sixties and 'seventies.' In his will made at Bury St Edmunds
the year before his death, he ordered : ' My body to be buried in
the Church of Cavendish, near the body of Alice, my late wife.'*

Sir Thomas de Ingelby, of Ripley, in Yorkshire, was a judge
of the King's Bench from 1361 until his death in 1378. ^ During
most of the last sixteen years of Edward's reign he was the only
judge there in addition to the chief justice.^ This explains his
constant association with Cavendish on many commissions during
the last decade of the reign. To give only a few instances, they
delivered Lincoln gaol together eight times between 1367 and
1373,' and composed the quorum of many Lincolnshire commissions
of the peace between 1368 and 1375. In view of their many duties,
however, it seems highly improbable that either of them actually
attended the sessions of the peace at this period.^

Roger de Meres, who was made a king's serjeant in 1366 and
a justice of the Common Pleas in November, 1371, has been proved
by Foss to have been the same person as Roger de Kirketon of
the Year Books, using the latter name occasionally because he
had property at Kirton in Holland. Foss'^ arguments are sup-
ported by many references on the close and patent rolls to ' Roger
de Meres of Kirkton in Holland '. Meres was a justice of the peace
in Holland from 1356 until the end of the reign. In 1368 he was
appointed to commissions of the peace in many other eastern

^ The most vivid account of his death is that given by Prof. G. M.
Trevelyan, England in the Age of Wycliffe, p. 217.

counties — Bedford, Buckingham, Huntingdon, Norfolk, .Suffolk,
and Cambridge. In 1375 he seems to have been transferred to
the north, and appears on commissions for Yorkshire, Northumber-
land, and Cumberland, i>ut in 1377 lie was a justice of the peace
in Worcestershire and Staffordshire. He died in 1386.'

Sir John Moubray's career belongs mainly to the middle years
of Edward Ill's reign. He first appeared as a pleader in the courts
in 1343, was a scrjcant in 1354, and a justice of the Common Pleas
from 1359 until 1373.^ During the ' fifties ' he was on man}'
judicial commissions in Yorkshire, but from 1368 to 1373 he was
mostly in the western counties.^ He does not seem to have served
on ciny Lincolnshire commissions of the peace later than that of
1359, of which he and Ingelby composed the qiiorum.

Thomas PyncJiebeck, the founder of the family of Pinchbeck,
of Hagbech Hall, Whaplode,^ served on commissions of the peace
and of sewers in Holland and Kesteven from 1366, but does not
seem to have reached great prominence outside his own county
until his appointment as chief baron of the exchequer in April,
1388. He evidently lived to enjoy this position for only a year,
for his successor was appointed in Mc^y, 1389.^

William de Wichingham was made king's Serjeant in 1362
and was a justice of the Common Pleas from Octolier, 1365, until
the end of Edward's reign. ^ He came from Norfolk, and from
1358 to 1368 served mainly on commissions in the eastern counties.
Between 1368 and 1374 he was a justice of the peace in Hampshire,
Wiltshire, Somerset, and Devon, but in February, 1375, he was
again appointed to commissions of the peace in Northam})t/on,
Lincoln, Derbj^ Leicester, Norfolk, ;ind Warwick.' Among his
other activities may be mentioned the delivery of Lincoln gaol
in March, 1375.8

Gentry : The amount of information available for a study
of the lesser country gentry varies greatly in different cases. About
the career of John de Alkebarowe the only facts that have been
ascertained are that he held lands at Pinchbeck^ ; that he was a
justice of the peace in Lindsey between 1354 and 1358,^° and a
collector of taxes in Holland in 1377, 1382, and 13841' ; and that
in 1370 he received a licence to ship corn from Holland to Ix)ndon."
The exact date of his death does not appear, but he was still alive
in 1388.

Randolf Bolle has proved even more elusive. He seems to
have held land at Swineshead and Gosberton in 1360 and to have
acted as assessor of taxes in Holland in 1379 ; this post and his
association to the Holland commission of the peace in 1369

Sir John de Boys Wius more prominent. He was sheriff of
Lineohi in 1360- ; a member of commissions of tiie peace, of sewers
and of array in Lindsey during the last twenty y«^ars of Kdward's
reign-'' : ami a knight of the shire in the parliament of 1380.'* He
must have ilicd very shortly afterwards, for a writ of August Hth,
1380, refers to John de Boys, recently a justice in Lincolnshire,
' now deceased '.^

Tliomas Claymond had lands in Lincolnshire, Nottingham,
and Derby. He had not acted as justice of the peace before his
association to the Kesteven commission in 1370. From 1375 until
1395 he sat on many commissions of the peace, of array, and of
sewers in Kesteven, and upon similar commissions in Holland.^
From May to October, 1385, he was sheriff of Lincoln, in succession
to William de Spayne, who died in the middle of his term of office.'
Claymond himself died some time before February, 1397.

The name of Sir John Dymoke of Scrivelsby, iure uxoris
champion of England,^ will be known to most readers. He entered
the service of the duke of Lancaster in 1372, agreeing to serve
him ' pur pees et pur guere a terme de vie (in peace and war for
the term of his life),' in return for a fee of twenty marks a year,
paid in half-yearly instalments and charged on the revenues of the
honour of Bolingbroke.' He was knighted in 1373 ; was a knight
of the shire in the parliaments of 1372, 1373, and 1377^" ; served
as escheator of Lincoln from November, 1375, till February,
1377*^ ; and was a member of every commission of the peace
in Lindsey from 1368 until his death in 1381.^^

Sir Godfrey Foljeaumbe, of Derbyshire, was also prominent
in the service of the duke of Lancaster, as steward and constable
for Newcastle -under-Ly me, steward for the counties of Derby,
Stafford, and Warwick," and, possibly, also chief steward for
Lincolnshire.^* He was a knight of the shire for Derbyshire in
several parliaments, served on practically all the commissions of
the peace in Derby and Lancaster between 1356 and 1376, and
occasionally on commissions of the peace and of sewers in Lincoln-
shire.^^ He died early in 1376, and on July 17th, 1378, his son

mined '.'

John Gaunt, of Binbrook, probably had some legal training,
for lie acted as the king's attorney in the court of Common Pleas.^
In 1357 he was granted the reversion of the office of usher of the
exchequer, held as a serjeanty in chief. ^ He was justice of
labourers, justice of the peace, and commissioner of sewers in
Lindsey during the 'fifties, but does not appear on any commis-
sions after that of 1359.* His son, John, died while a minor in
the king's ward before October, 1369, leaving his father's three
sisters as co -heiresses.^

Nicholas Hatclyf's public posts seem to have been confined
to those of justice of the peace and commissioner of sewers in
Lindsey between 1373 and 1381,* and tax-assessor in 1379.' After
1381 his name does not appear on commissions, but he was alive
in 1382.

John Hode of Flete filled similar posts in Holland between
136U and 1385, and was sheriff of Lincolnshire for the year 1373-4.^
On at least two occasions he acted as attorney for John de Multon
during the latter's absence abroad, and in 1367 he himself received
licence to cross the sea from Dover, with what purpose is not
stated .'

William de Huntingfeld, custos rotulorum of the Holland
commission of 1375, seems to have taken his name from a manor
in Suffolk which he held for life,^° but he also had lands in the
counties of Norfolk, Essex, Lincoln, and Cambridge.'^ From 1354
to 1375 he served on commissions of the peace and of sewers in
Holland, but died before the end of 1376.^'-^

Richard de la Launde of Gosberton, the founder of a distin-
guished family," was old enough to act as attorney in 1366, and
thenceforward until the close of the century was on many com-
missions of the peace, of array, and of sewers in Holland. The
last commission of the peace to which he was appointed was that
of February, 1398, and in May of the same year John Belle was
appointed in his place, ^* which suggests that de la Launde died at
about that time. His name does not appear thereafter on the close
and patent rolls.

justice of the jx^nce and of lalwurcra* and aH commissioiur of
sewtTs in Lindsay during the 'fifties. He seems to have died about
13tjl. afttT which (hite his name does not appear. -

Sir W'ilham Marmyon, of Keisby, Ix'nton, and Sempringham,
was a knight of the shire in 13()4-5 and 1372,=* and between 1362
and 13S0 was on several Kesteven commissions of tlie peace and
of array. In December, 1370, he was removed from the commission
of the peace * for certain causes propoun(U>d before tlie king and
council,'* but was reappointed in May, 1371, only to be disciiarged
once more in November, 1372, possibly on account of his parlia-
mentary duties. He was appointed a justice of the peace for the
last time in January, 1379, but Uved until l^JS/^

Sir John de Multon saw a good deal of foreign service during
the early part of his career ; in 1367 he had licence to go to ' le
Pnice '* ; in December, 1370, he went abroad ' to stay there on
the king's service ' ; and in June of the following year he went to
sea in the company of the earl of Hereford.' In 1375 he was
rewarded for his good service by a grant for life of one hundred marks
a 5'ear from the issues of the count}' of Lincoln.^ He does not
seem to have been a justice of the peace after December, 1375,
but served on several commissions of array, and was a knight of
the shire in 1373, 1383, and 1384.» He died in 1388.i»

John Poucher, or Pouger, of West and Middle Rasen, had an
active career as sherifif of Lincoln in 1379-80 and 1 380-83,^^ escheator
for Lincolnshire from November, 1377, to November, 1379,^^ and a
member of commissions of the peace and of array in Lindsey between
1372 and 1394.13

John de Repynghale of Catworth was a member of a family
which, for several generations, was to play an active part in the
local government of Kesteven.^* He was a justice of the peace
there throughout the 'sixties, but was removed from the commission
in December, 1370, ' for certain causes propounded before the
king and council '.^^ He also had connections with neighbouring
counties, acting as escheator in Cambridge and Huntingdon in
1379-80.^^ He was dead by 1381, but his son, John ' tlie younger '
was on many Kesteven commissions between 1377 and 1407.^'

Robert de Roos of Gedney was evidently a retainer of the
duke of Lancaster and seems to have been mayor of Bordeaux

between 1372 and 137G.* He acted as attorney for the younger
Sir William de Cantilupe in 1367, and between 1375 and 1380 was
a justice of the peace and commissioner of array and of sewers in
Holland and Kesteven.'* He died before February, 1382, leaving
his brother, Nicholas, as his heir.^

Richard de Salteby, who held lands in socage at Grantham
' by fealty and the service of a single visit to the court of Grant-
ham '.* served on the Kesteven commissions of the peace and array
between 1300 and 1309, and died before October, 1369.

Simon or Simkin Simeon was the duke of Lancaster's steward
for Lincolnshire.^ He evidently saw military service during the
earlier part of his career, for in 1360 he received a general pardon,
' for good service done in the wars of France and elsewhere '."
He was a justice of the peace and of labourers in Holland in the
'fifties, and a member of many commissions of sewers and of array
there during the next two decades ; from March to July, 1371,
lie was also on the commission of the peace for Lindsev. He died
in 1387.

Ralph de Skipwith, lord of the manor of Haburgh, was a son of
John Skipwitli and a first cousin of Sir William Skipwith of South
Ormesby, the judge.' The Lindsey commissions of the peace of
1371 and 137.1 are the only ones upon which his name appears.
He died before Marcli, 1395, leaving a son, William.

William de Spa^Tie, or Spaigne,® was one of the duke of Lan-
caster's most important retainers, feodar of the counties of Lincoln
and Nottingham.^ He was mayor of the staple at Lincoln^" ; col-
lector of customs in Boston between 1367 and 1382" ; justice of
the peace and commissioner of sewers in Holland at various times
ilurinf-; the 'sixties and 'seventies ; and a knight of the shire in
1380 and 1382.^2 He was sheriff of Lincoln in 1378-9, and again
in 1384—5, but died in the middle of tliis second term of office, and
was succeeded by Thomas Claj^mond.^^

William de Stayn and William de Surflet both seem to have
died in 1371, or very shortly after. The former was several times
justice of the peace and commissioner of sewers in Lindsey, the
latter filled similar posts in Holland, where he also acted as a subsidy
collector in 1357 and 1358.^*

Sir William de Thorj) was the brother and heir of Robert de
Thorp, the chancellor, who died in 1372.^^ He had lands in Cam-
bridge and Northampton as well as in Lincoln, and was appointed
steward of Rockingham castle and forest in 1378.^^ He served as a
member of commissions of the peace and of sewers in these three

Roger Toup oi Algarkirk wa.s tlie duke of Lancaster's seneschal
for Boston' and for the county of Lincohi.* He also acted as the
duke's attorney in the court of (oninion IMeas, in return for a salary
of one iiundred slullirigs a year.^ He served on various commissions
in Holland lulweeu 1307 and 13^4, antl was eschcalor for Lincoln-
shire from Uecemlx^r, 13S3, to January, 1384." His tenure of
office was probably terminated by his death, for his name does
not appear after this date.

William de Wyome or Wyhum, of Gosberton, was one of
the coroners of Lincolnshire for a time, but was removed from
office in October, 1375, because insufficiently qualitied.' During
the 'seventies and early 'eighties he was justice of the peace and
commissioner of sewers and of array in Holland. His name does
not appear after 1385.

Thomas de Wythornwyk was closely connected with the East
Riding of York.-^hire as well as with Lindsey, and was appointed
escheator for Holdemess in October, 1361.^ He served on a number
of the usual commissions in both counties, and died between July
and December, 1376, when Nicholas Hatclyf took his place on the
Lindsey commission of the peace.^

2. THE ORDINARY FOLK

Their names : An intensive study of the surnames of the jurors
and of the peoi)le mentioned in their presentments calls for an
expert knowledge which the present WTiter does not possess. All
that can be attempted here is to extract a certain amount of
information from a hastv survev of some of the names in the
rolls.io

By the latter part of the fourteenth century the surnames
of the great had become well established, but those of the lesser
folk were still in a state of transition. A good many people
undoubtedh' already had hereditary surnames, but it is often
impossible to tell whether the names in the peace rolls are surnames
in the modern sense of the v.ord. or merely personal descriptions
which would not necessarily be handed on to the descendants of
the person to whom they w^ere applied. This uncertainty becomes
greater as we move down the social scale, and it is especially marked

« P.R.O. list of escheators. '•' C.P.R.

»» I have tried to follow out the suggestions for such a study made by
Mr G. J. Turner in the introduction to his Feet of Fines in Huntitigdonshire,
and by Professor F. M. Stenton in his chapter in Introduction to the Survey
of English Place-Jslames, Part I, pp. 165-189,

INTRODLXTIOX Ixxxvii

where the names are obviously derived from an occupation or trade.
For instance, is ' Roljert TavUoiir ' (LL 2) himself a tailor by
profession, or has he inherited the name from an ancestor who
was ? The rolls abound in ' occupativc ' names of this kind, of
which the following list gives only a few examples : John Feryman
(L G), John Lohmer (L 14), John Nethird (LL 2), John Glover
(LL U)), Simon Flesshewere (LL 256). WiUiam Dyker (LL 260),
Thomas Shepherde (LL 260). Henry Chapman (LL 364), John
Cardemakere (LL 440), John Loksmyth (LL 440), Simon Couper^
(LL 24), Robert Draper (KK 3). Thomas Taverner (KK 16), Alan
Corneseller (H 41), Nicholas Townh\Td (H 85). Sometimes we
seem to see a man's occupation actually in process of becoming
his surname : ' John de Thorgamby, shepherd ' (LL 353) is described
elsewhere as ' John Shepherd ' (LL 343) ; ' Gilbert Plomer ' (LL
162) takes excess wages for working in lead ; ' Symon Olyer ' sells
oil (K 16) ; ' Henry Souter ' is described as communis sutor (KK
22). On the other hand, in many cases it is clear that there is no
connection between a man's name and his calling, as with ' Thomas
Raton, theker ' (LL 223), 'John Smyth, taskerc ' (LL 225), and
many others. Often, again, no indication is given of whether
there is a connection or not.

Even more puzzling are some of the names derived from places.
Of these there is a very large number in the peace rolls, especially
among the lists of jurors, such as : William de Whitton (LL 1).
Richard de Calesthorpe (LL 34), Richard de Haugham (LL 34).
John de Lind)er (LL 34), Nicholas de Riseholme (LL 310).
Eventually, of course, most of these places become surnames, but
it is impossible to say how many of them had already become so
in 1373-5. As far as it is possible to judge, the rolls bear out
Mr Turner's statement that

the peasantry seems to have been a somewhat stationary class and
throughout the Middle Ages an English place name used as a surname
is generally that of a village in the neighbourhood of the home of the
person by whom it is used.-

Where a place name follows the name of a trade or an apparently
hereditary surname, it undouV)tedly represents the actual place
of residence of the bearer, as in the case of names like ' Simon
Bakere de Horncastle '. Where a man is described by two place
names, as ' John de Thorlay do Barton * (LL 1), ' Thomas de Eve-
thorp de Glentworth ' (LL 8), or " Thomas de Pumfrayt de Halton '
(LL 27), it seems legitimate to regard the first as a hereditary
surname derived from the place of family origin, the second as his
own place of residence.^

Liidcr the heading of surnames derived from places shonki
perhaps be included those names which evidently originated from

' Couper^a merchant, c.f. ' liorse-coper '.

place (K 9.')). Adam Attonesende (K 115), Iloger in the bern (K 159),
Alice de la iiostery (K 32). Thomas del Pantryo (H 01). Some of
these arc especially interesting geographically. ' Atteferidyk ' and
* del Fen ', for instance, tell their own story ; ' bek ' or ' beck '
is, of course, the north-country word corresponding to the Scots
' burn ' ; ' brigg " means bridge : ' del More ' is probably another
form of the common Lincolnshire name 'dc la Mawe ', from 'mow ',
meaning a heap or mound' ; and 'atte Gote ', from ' gote ', a
channel or gutter, is also typical of the county.-

Names derived from personal peculiarity or from nicknames,
such as W^illiam Newecummen (L 34), John Redhcd (LL 240),
John Blakhat<^^ (LL 30), Ralph Hopshorl (LL 34), Simon Leve-
launce^ (LL 410). William Runfarc'' (LL 35), Joan Standepert
(LL 147), John Talifer (LL 10), Robert Barfote (H 40), had probably
already become permanent by the time of Edward 111. There
are, however, one or two amusing personal nicknames : ' little
Henry ' {parvus Henricus) of Saltfietliaven (LL 279), ' long John '
of Lavington (K 4), ' John dc Fordam called Cok de Biry ' (KK
66). A few examples occur of a Christian name used as a surname,
presumably, as Mr Turner says, ' the Christian name of some
ancestor of the person by whom it was borne ',^ such as Ehas
Fraunsays (LL 34), Wilham Valentyn (LL 26), Simon Adrian
(LL 34), Elena Martyn (LL 30).

Finally, there are fairly numerous descriptions of one man
as the son of another, who sometimes is himself described as the
son of a third ; these may be regarded as still in the transition
stage. The rolls give us, among others : William, son of Petronilla
(L 1), Henry, son of John, son of Matilda (LL 28), John, son of
Walter de Wintringham (LL 1). Perhaps these were eventually to
become Fitzwalters, Johnsons, and Petersons, by a process such
as had already taken place with names like Simon Colynsone
(L 7), John Sibilson (LL 10), Stephen Aleynson (LL 49), Wilham

' ' Levelavince ' and ' Talifer ' or ' Taillefer ' belong to the ' Shakespeare
type of surname ', of which there are many examples in the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries, ibid., pp. 252-77.

Ciftsesson (LL 378), Robert Ibbotesson (LL 114), Walter Wattesson
(LL 430), Roger Personsonc (KK (51), John Martynson (H 60).

Their occupations : Apart from the indirect and rather unsatis-
factory evidence of surnames, the rolls give a good deal of informa-
tion about the occupations and trades of the people concerned in
the cases presented at the sessions of the peace. About tlie jurors,
of course, we are told nothing except their names and their place
of residence.

We find, for instance, a certain number of local officials, in
addition to the constables, bailiffs, and sub-bailiffs to whom there
is constant reference : among them are subsidy collectors, proctors
of various parishes, and the ' park keeper ' of Mareham (L 3).
John Annnory, tlie seneschal of the bishop of Carlisle's manor of
Horncastle^ (LL 81-83), who was, at different times, collector of
a tax- and commissioner of sewers in Lindsey^, and William de
Keseby, ' keeper of the jurisdiction of Louth ' (LL 198), are among
the officials accused of extortion. One would like to know more
about tlie duties of John de Gerneseye, ' late keeper of the passaj^e
of the Humber " (LL 212), John Fraunceys, ' keeper of the animals
of Worlaby ' (LL 349), and William de Corby, constable of Castle
Bytham and ' keeper of the market of Corb}^ ' (K 83, 90).

A good many churchmen figure in the presentments, not always
as the innocent parties. There are references to parsons and
vicars of different churches, to chaplains and clerks, and to inmates
of many of the religious houses of Lincolnshire.

Among the most interesting figures are several foreign mer-
chants, John de Gravesmyln, an ' Esterlyng ' or Hansard (LL 282),
Henry of Louth, another Hansard (H 43), Peter de Skidham, a
merchant of Zeeland (LL 275), and the two Flemish weavers,
Geoffrey Braban and Reginald Webster (LL 457), who have been
discussed in an earlier chapter.* Foreigners such as these, from
the Empire, the Low Countries, and Scandinavia, were probably
familiar figures on the narrow streets and busy quays of the flourish-
ing east coast to"«ns in tiie fourteenth century.

Since Lincolnshire was mainly an agricultural count3^ it is
natural that a very large proportion of the ordinary people should
be engaged in agricultural pursuits. There are many references
to men employed in harvesting and threshing (described by the
Latin terms falcator, messor, triturator, or by the corresponding
English words ' mawere ' and ' taskerc '), or in the office of plough-
man and carter {carucarius et carectarius) ; shepherds, however,
are only mentioned a few times. Next in importance come the
brewers, bakers, and tanners, who are concerned in many of the
forestalling cases and other economic offences. The earlier Kesteven
roll, in particular, contains a very large number of brewers and

Other trades are less well represented. Those of carpenter
and tliatelier (' thekere ' in Englisli, tecfoj- or coopertor domorum
in Ijiitin) not unnaturally occur the most fre(|uently ; there are
scattered refereni'es to smiths, tailors, drapers, mercers, weavers,
millers, masons, and locksmiths ; surnames such as Smyth, Taillour,
Webster, Milner, and Loksniyth occur several times. Lastly,
John ^^'hithand, the ' tynker ', and John Prat, the ' tregetour '
or juggler^ (LL 163), serve as a reminder of the many wandering
folk of the roads without whom no picture of rural life in the middle
ages would be complete.

J. B. is a common wool merchant, and sold M. three stone of ' pelt-

N. de R. and T. de B., tanners, commonly sell tanned hides at double

INDEX OF PERSOiNS AND PLACES

DIRECTIONS

The Roman numerals refer to the pages of the Introduction, the Arabic numerals
to the pages of the text. The numbers of the cases in the text have been added
in brackets, for ease of reference.

Place-names have been indexed under their modem forms, with a cross-reference
from the form found in the text, and the name of the wapentake has been added
in brackets to the Lincolnnhire names, where possible.

Where a Christian name is followed by two place-names, it has been assmned that
the first is a hereditary surname, the second a place of residence (vide Introduction,
p. Ixxxvii). In such cases the person has been indexed under the first name, e.g.
' Thorlay, John de, of Barton ' ; and Barton has been included separately as a
place-name.

Where a person is described as e.g. ' John, son of Thomas Smith ', the reference
is given under ' Smith, Thomas ', with a cross-reference from ' John '. Son is
represented by s, wife b5'^ w, daughter by d.
