| 4497 | Assault on John Stokwyth at Scarborough | William Marche and Robert Hunter and many other malefactors of their faction, on the eve of the Nativity of St John the Baptist in the aforesaid year, came with a great crowd of men called 'rowtes' to the house of John Stokwyth of Scarborough, where he was living, feloniously and treacherously, and with force and arms and against the lord king's peace, and they dragged the same John out of his house and took him through the aforesaid town from street to street with a great cry called 'houtays' to the prison there, and there they held him until the next day. And they then took ten pounds of gold and silver from him there, which they held and still hold. And on the same next day they made the said John come before them where they were gathered, and some of them advised that the same John should be beheaded, and some of them advised that he should be hanged, and afterwards they made him, together with other upright men, bind themselves in writing to them in a hundred pounds, to await the judgment of the said malefactors on the following Saturday; and notwithstanding the said bond they took him back to prison and held him there for three or four days until a certain Henry de Roofton, junior, who had married the same John Stokwyth's daughter, made a general proclamation through the whole town that if anyone should wish to make complaint against the said John, he should come and he would compensate them at their will, although he had to sell any of his lands and tenements, goods and chattels whatsoever; which Henry, to save the said John Stokwyth's life, paid the sum of fully three pounds to the complainants. | Scarborough,Yorkshire North Riding | Accused | View Incident page | ||

| 4500 | William del Marche and Robert Hunter attack William de Manby | 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. | Scarborough,Yorkshire North Riding | Accused | View Incident page |
