To Master Roger de Seyton and his fellows, justices in eyre at the Tower
of London. Order to cause to be observed in their eyre the following
provisions made by the late king, the present king, and his council and
others who had agreed (convenerant) with the late king at Marleberge:
that if appeal or complaint of robbery and breach of the peace or homicide
should be made before justices in eyre or of other offences in the time of the
war against any who were against the late king or against others, or if
presentments of such offences should be made as are wont to be made at the
capitula of the crown, no one should lose life or limb or incur the penalty
of perpetual imprisonment on these grounds, but that justice should be done
in another manner concerning damages or things lost or carried off and
trespasses according to the discretion of the late king's justices, and moreover that the contents of the Dictum of Kenilleworth should be diligently
observed, and that the justices should have in all their eyres a transcript of
the Dictum, so that the said king's justices in eyre should do nothing
concerning those things that had been determined or ought to be determined
by other justices of the said king, without special order from the said king
if he should enjoin anything upon them. They are to know that the war
began on April 4, in the 48th year of the late king's reign, when the same
king went with his army from Oxford to Northampton with banners
displayed, and that it lasted continuously until Sept. 16, in the 49th year,
when at Winchester, after the battle of Evesham, he caused his peace to be
confirmed and proclaimed in the presence of the barons who had come
thither. It was provided that no one should lose life or limb for robberies
or homicides or other things done under the guise of war by those who were
against the late king from 4 June, in the 47th year of his reign, when they
first, going through the land with banners displayed, committed robberies,
homicides, and imprisonments on persons ecclesiastical and secular, until
the said time when the said king went with his army from Oxford to
Northampton. Concerning other things that were not done under guise of
war during that time, [it was decided that] that time should be regarded as
a time of peace. From the time aforesaid when he caused his peace to be
strengthened and confirmed at Winchester, the law should run as in time
of peace it was wont to run; provided that for those who were at Axeholm
or at Kenill[eworth], or in the Isle of Ely, or at Cestrefeld or, afterwards
at Southwark (Suwerk) there should be observed fully their peace as they
ought to have it, whether by the Dictum of Kenil[leworth] or by their
privileges of the peace granted to them. Concerning those who were with
the earl of Gloucester in the last disturbance, the peace made between the
late king and the earl shall be observed, so that from the time when the
earl went from Wales to London until the day when he went from the city
aforesaid, justices should not proceed against him or against those who were
in his peace, and this provision is to be understood of him only. Concerning
depredations made on both sides during the time aforesaid, there should be
observed what is contained in the peace made between the late king and the
said earl. [Ryley, Placita, Appendix, p. 440.] |
