2 .   TNA - C 81/1788/23
Entry Type: Request
Summary: Request for the arrest of Sampson, lay brother, who has left Fountains abbey.
Language: Latin
Note: The abbot would appear to be Robert Thornton, rather than his successor Robert Bishopton. Place of dating uncertain. Cheshunt in Hertfordshire seems likely, but the abbot was seemingly returning from the Cistercian general chapter at Citeaux (see CPR 1281-92, p. 319), held around 14 September, so it could be a place in France or the Low Countries. However, it seems unlikely that the abbot would deal with such business before returning to England.
