| Short Description | Writ to Robert de Botemond ordering him to arrest Thomas Whyte, Henry de Neuwerk and Richard de Bostan |
| Details | Writ of Richard II to the bailiff of the liberty of the chapter of Beverley, ordering him to arrest Whyte, Neuwerk and Bostan, and have them before the king in Chancery on Monday after the feast of St John before the Latin Gate next (5 May 1382). The king understands that Coppendale, Beverle, Gerveys, Dudhill and other men of Beverley have been forced, by fear of death, to make bonds with Middelton, Whyte and Neuwerk in large sums of money, and therefore they, and Bostan, who has custody of those bonds, have been ordered by writs of precipimus to bring them into Chancery and show reason why they should not be annulled. However, Whyte, Neuwerk and Bostan have maliciously and deliberately left the town, and thus the messenger could not deliver the writs. Response: Response of Robert de Botemond, bailiff of the liberty of the church of St John of Beverley that he is not able to take them for fear of death. |
