| Text (English translation) | The Prior and convent of Bury St Edmunds state that the rebellious people of Bury St Edmunds committed great crimes against their church during the last uprising and also before, and still refuse to confess these or make satisfaction for them, but still persist in their rebellion. They request that the pope's appointee, who is the cause of these evils, should never be received as abbot, and that the rebels, his maintainers, should not be received into the king's protection until they have duly made redress for what they have done. |
| General Information | [c. 1383] Dated in a note on the guard to '? 1383'. It seems to be roughly contemporary with the petition recorded in Rot. Parl. vol. III, pp.170b-171a, which is enrolled on the roll of the parliament held at Salisbury, April-May 1384, but perhaps rather earlier. That petition mentions several previous ordinances on the matter, and especially one made at the parliament held at Westminster in February-March 1383: the present petition may be the one presented to the 1383 parliament. |
