Extract
Herewith I send you a transcript of a record in the Tower, which contains a pardon for Cecilia Rigeway, who was indicted, at the assizes at Nottingham in 1357, for the murder of her husband, and because she would not plead, sentence was passed upon her, and she was remanded back to prison, where she remained, as the record states, for forty days without sustenance.
