3817Petition from Margery Tany concerning the death of her sonMargery, widow of Thomas Tany and executrix of his testament, states that on Corpus Christi during the last insurrection, a proclamation was made that anyone with an action, title or right to recover any debts or inheritances should come to the King at the Tower of London with their evidence, and justice would be done to them: so she and her eldest son went to claim the debts owed to her through her husband's testament; and Walter Almaly, Dean of the College of Windsor was ordered to pay her. However, he had both her sons arrested, and beat the elder so badly that he died, and is now lying in wait for her, so that she has fled to sanctuary. She asks that the parties be ordered to come before the King, and also John Chirch, sergeant of London, who arrested her elder son, to confess the truth of the matter on oath, and that the King might do justice to the parties without delay, on the evidence obtained by this examination.Tower of London,LondonMentionedView Incident page
