| Short Description | William del Marche and Robert Hunter attack William de Manby |
| Details | The jurors say that on Monday 24 June 1381 at Scarborough, William del Marche and Robert Hunter, together with many others, feloniously and treacherously came to the house of William de Manby of Scarborough and there, conspiring, uniting and sworn together, they rose up against the said William and broke into his house, and likewise broke the doors and windows of the same house, and took him from his house and imprisoned him there for four days, because he refused to agree with them or go with them to beat and wound men in the cemetery of the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and to break the gates and doors of the friars minor to seize Robert de Aclom and many others. And after four days they took him from the prison and led him to a certain place, threatening him that unless he gave them twenty marks they would behead him. And the said William, terrified with the fear of death, bound himself to give them as much as they asked, according to the discretion of the lord earl of Northumberland. |
