166. Unknown malefactors waylaid Robert de Blankmester, servant of Master Robert de Fridaystrete, at Smethefeld by night and at once assaulted and wounded him. They immediately fled and it is not known who they were. Afterwards Robert went to the house of his master Robert and there died on the morrow. Master Robert de Frydaystrete, in whose house he died, was attached for the death, but does not come and is not suspected. He was attached by Hubert the Goldsmith and Robert de Wynton' taverner. So they are in mercy. The neighbours have died, so nothing from them. [cf. 634]
