Exchequer case concerning the debts of Richard Maisterman and Roger Claveryng to John Hanchach, beheaded for treason
It has been found that Ralph Wykes, escheator, did not answer for £17 for timber from the wood of Hildersham owed by Richard Maisterman and Roger Claveryng to John Hanchach, beheaded at Cambridge for treason, having risen up on 13 June 1381. Maisterman and Claveryng appear by their attorney William de Alyngton, and claim that they have no debt to Hanchach, as they paid him, and had three years to fell and carry away the wood, which was seized after Hanchach's death and entrusted to John Roos. Order to the sheriff of Cambridge to investigate.
