John Wryghte raises people in the liberty of Bury St Edmunds
Suffolk. John Wryghte of Bury St Edmunds was accused by the whole community of that town of being the chief rebel and leader of many men, against the king and his allegiance, throughout the liberty of the town, and of making proclamations in various villages in the aforesaid county, inciting and encouraging the people to rise against the king. Because of this he has been arrested and brought before the justices by the sheriff. It was asked of him how he wishes to acquit himself of the charges of felony and treason aforesaid, and the same John freely admits and upholds all felonies and treasons he was charged with to him. Judgement is therefore given that John Wryghte should be beheaded, and that an inquiry be made into his lands and chattels. (Beheaded).
