162. Accidit die Dominica proxima ante Annuntiacionem Beate Marie quod Alexander de Chalyz occidit Willelmum de Bentheleghe in venella Sancti Nicholai et fugit et male creditur. Judicium: exigatur et utlagetur secundum formam etc. Catalla eius xiiij d. Et Nicholaus de Molendino qui fuit socius ipsius Alexandri fuit in eodem conflictu cum eo et antequam idem Willelmus fuit occisus, voluit repercutere ipsum Alexandrum et percussit predictum Nicholaum ita quod obiit. Isti duo nulla habuerunt catalla. Et ideo nichil. Et Alexander fuit in franco plegio in warda Stephani Bukere1.1 Ideo in misericordia.
1. Cripplegate Ward according to Beaven, i, 367.
On Sunday before the Annunciation of Our Lady [22 March 1243] Alexander de Chalyz killed William of Bentley in St. Nicholas' Lane. He fled and is suspected. Judgment: let him be put in exigent and outlawed according to the form etc. He had chattels worth 14d. Nicholas of the Mill, who was his companion, was with him in the affray, and William before he was killed, wishing to hit back at Alexander instead struck Nicholas, who died as a result. These two had no chattels. Therefore nothing. Alexander was in frankpledge in the ward of Stephen Bukerel. Therefore the frankpledge is in mercy. |
