Petition from the Prior and convent of Bury St Edmunds concerning the rising
The Prior and convent of Bury St Edmunds state that the rebellious people of Bury St Edmunds committed great crimes against their church during the last uprising and also before, and still refuse to confess these or make satisfaction for them, but still persist in their rebellion. They request that the pope's appointee, who is the cause of these evils, should never be received as abbot, and that the rebels, his maintainers, should not be received into the king's protection until they have duly made redress for what they have done.
