John Greyston of Bottisham attends murder of Simon Sudbury and Robert de Hales
Details
Twelve jurors say that John Greyston of Bottisham came out of the county of Kent before the disturbance in the said county and went in the counties of London and Kent to the assemblies of wrongdoers, and the same tarried until Simon archbishop of Canterrbury and Robert de Hales, prior of the Hospital [of Saint John of Jerusalem] and other lieges of the king were killed, and very many other murders and demolitions were carried out in their company, and the same John Greyston afterwards returned to Bottisham and asserted himself openly, namely on Sunday 16th June 1381.
