Rolls of the 1281 Derbyshire
Eyre, Case 454; this source is from the records of the court known
as the "Eyre", in Derbyshire, in 1281. This court was held
by one of the king's justices, one of a number who travelled around
to each county, hearing more serious offences.
In this case the hue and cry was raised, some local people caught
the attempted murderer and beheaded him. |
