Nature of request

The petitioner seeks to prove his petition against William Segan with his body before king and council according to the law of arms. He shows that a dispute between the commons of Bridgwater and the master of St John's hospital in Bridgwater over a vicarage was settled through the law and other means. After the great uprising in London, Frampton was provided to the vicarage, and departed thence from London after the uprising and came to the tourn at Bridgwater and mandated Segan, who came with others of the town to the master of the hospital and demanded satisfaction of these matters on pain that the master should make answer at ten of the clock the next morning. The next morning they went to the hospital and spoke with the master, and by threats made a fine with him in £200, and had quittance of a bond of £100 and took other muniments from the master to save his life.
