William Delton describes the meeting of Thomas Hardyng and others at Linton and how they conspired to kill Thomas Colepepir, Thomas Trevet and John Freningham. They planned to be joined by Nicholas Bekes who would bring with him 32 armed men and 60 archers from Romney Marsh, and 18 more armed men were expected from Charing, near Ashford. The same Nicholas Bekes was also intended to be sent as a spy into the courts of noble men, in order to create dissent between the king and his lords, with the intent to 'destroy the party of the king'. Finally, they planned to send a man called Roger Sprynger of Cobham into Essex to foment revolt in that county.
