Incident

Id3583
Short DescriptionJohn Coggeshall assaults Roger Blaunkgren
DetailsAnd that the same John on Saturday 15th June 1381, in Bridge Street in Cambridge, with many other unknown rebels, came with malice aforethought to the house of Roger son of Richard Blaunkgren, and sought to kill him, and he did not find him there, but immediately went to the church of St. Giles, Cambridge, and there assaulted the said Roger, and would have beheaded him if it had not been for the parishioners in the church at the same time preventing him. And upon this continuing in his malice, he went back to Roger's house to pull it down, when the wife of the said Roger, on her knees, offered him a fine for having his peace and favour, in contempt of the King and to the pernicious example of others. [Witnesses testify against him, he is found guilty, hanged and his possessions are forfeit].
