|
| Summary: | Pardon to John, son of William de Rilleston, knight, indicted of killing Richard Wyntryngham, vicar of Skipton, at 'Katerallydezate' with a barbed arrow on Sunday after the Nativity of the Virgin [11 September 1401], and also of having lain in ambush at 'Kateralligeate' between Sawley Abbey and Skipton to murder Wyntryngham, of shooting at him with a catapult and striking him in the back, from which he died on the following Tuesday. |
|---|---|
| Language: | Latin |
| Note: | An earlier pardon (CPR 1401-5, p. 187) explicitly dates the incident to 4 September, one week earlier, but the record of the plea shows that that date was miscalculated, presumably necessitating this further pardon. See also C 260/125/3, and KB 27/587, rex rot 3, detailing the legal process against Rilleston. The identification of the murder site as Catteral Hall near Giggleswick (EPNS West Riding of Yorkshire, vi, p. 145) seems unlikely, as it is a long way from Gisburn and Sawley, and not on any likely route between the two. |

A note on the dorse, dated 25 November 1412, notes that the copy was made for Rilleston himself. |
