And specially that the same John, of his malice, at the time when Edmund de Walsyngham was adjudged to death, feloniously came to him and feloniously snatched a purse of Edmund attached to his tunic containing 42½d., and violently assaulted the said Edmund, dragging him to the place of his beheading, and carried away the said money except 12d. thereof which he gave to John Deye of Willingham, who there feloniously beheaded Edmund, for his labour. [He confesses to committing these acts under influence of the devil, is found guilty and hanged, and his possessions are forfeit.] | Ely,Cambridgeshire | Accused | View Incident page |
