- The people of Windsor state that Geoffrey de Pycheford has told the King that certain lands outside the town of Windsor belong to the castle, when in fact they belong to the town: and on this they are prepared to put themselves on the country, on life and limb, and on the rolls of the Exchequer. They ask that they might have the farm of the town in its entirety, as it has always been held, as they now pay a farm of £30, whereas before it was only £25.
