| Text (English translation) | Norfolk. Thomas Bardolf appears through John Drake, his attorney, against William Vaus de Frettenham, John Vaus, Clement Vaus, William Pope and Clement de Thwayt on a plea that with force and arms they broke the close and houses of the said Thomas at Spixworth and took and carried away his goods and chattels found there to the value of £20, and they burnt charters, writings and other muniments of his found there, and other enormities, against the King's peace. And they do not come. And the sheriff has been ordered to attach them. And the sheriff reports that they have nothing. Therefore, the sheriff is ordered to arrest them and produce them here at three weeks after Easter 1382. |
