Petition from Roger Rose and other of Bury St Edmunds concerning the fine imposed for participation in the rising
Details
Roger Rose and his companions from Bury St Edmunds who are obliged by record to pay 2000 marks of the fine made to the king for the whole town, state that certain people of the town, who were living there during the insurrection, and took part in it, and because they were charged with a reasonable contribution to the fine, have sold their lands and tenements, alienated any other goods they had in the town, and left - some now living in Norwich, some in Colchester, and some elsewhere - so that their share of the money cannot be raised. He requests that they be compelled to pay.
