Level
Item
Date
late 13th century
Content description
Further statement on behalf of the prior and his monk, that their proctor master John de Pagrave had been summoned to appear before masters Anselm de Estria and John de Bekingham on the first law day in June 1291 wherever in his province the archbishop might be, but they were not there so he appeared in judgment before the archdeacon of Norfolk and Adam de Hale his fellow commissary, but then the proctor of the rector by falsely asserting that the prior had shown contempt obtained that the said commissaries precluded the prior from further producing or exhibiting his documents, and so the sentence was given. For the commissaries had decreed that the prior and his monk should be cited by the dean of Brisele to appear before them on the fourth law day after the Translation of St Thomas the Martyr (7 July) but he had not lawfully done so for he had cited them at Litcham where they do not live or have a servant there, and they had known nothing about it.
