John Langham alias John Glasene presents a writ 'de non molestando'
Details
Afterwards, namely on 3 November 1387, John Langham, cordwainer, otherwise known as John Langhom of Manningtree, cordwainer in the county of Essex, otherwise known as John Glasene of Manningtree in the county of Essex, came before the lord King at Gloucester and gave himself up to the prison of the marshal of the lord King, who is committed to the marshal, for the aforesaid causes. And immediately he appears led by the marshal and he proffers a writ of the lord King, given 18 October 1387, to not molest the aforesaid John Glasene against the statute and grace of the lord King, that which writ is filed among the records of the year 11 Rich. II [1387‒8]. Therefore, he may go thenceforth without day etc.
It can be assumed that the 'statute and grace of our lord king' refers to the general pardon of November 1381. A writ 'de non molestando' for Glasene is in the Precepta Recordorum file for 5 Richard II, KB 145/3/5/1, but it is dated 1 June 1383, suggesting that Glasene took out more than one writ.
