Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- The tenants of Queen Philippa in High Peak
- Addressees
- King and council
- Nature of request
- Queen Philippa's tenants of High Peak complain about Roger de Wendesley, who, after being indicted for various felonies and trespasses and imprisoned at Nottingham, went free and robbed them feloniously, to the value of 200 marks and more. He was arrested for this and imprisoned in the queen's council of High Peak, but escaped, gathered together a band of robbers, and executed several robberies and ambushes in those parts - among others, on the day of the king's victory at Berwick [Halidon Hill], he tied Randolph de Lokwode up, naked, until he made fine with him in 80 marks. He then purchased a general pardon at York, contrary to the ordinance that such pardons are only to be available to those who were in the king's company in his wars - which he never was. He is still laying ambushes for the tenants of High Peak, together with other malefactors. They request that the charter be annulled, and Roger able to be arrested; and that they might have an oyer and terminer to have some recovery for their grievances.
- Nature of endorsement
- With regard to the charter, the justices are sufficiently well advised concerning what they ought to do. With regard to the trespass, they are to have writs of oyer and terminer for a reasonable fine, if it please the Chancellor.
