Incident

Id3764
Short DescriptionPetition from the aldermen and people of Bury St Edmunds
DetailsThe Alderman and twenty-three people of Bury St Edmunds state that they have come to appear before the council, to answer concerning the late rebellion in their town, of which they were never guilty, as was proved before the Earl of Suffolk and other justices given a commission to inquire into this; because of which rebellion, the whole town has been exempted from the king's grace, on the allegations of certain people made at the last parliament. They request that the king clarify this exemption by stating that he and parliament wish only to exempt only the malefactors, so that the innocent are not ruined for others' misdeeds, as the malefactors have been indicted by the people of the town before the said earl.
