VI: WAR, RESISTANCE, AND REVOLT

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 June 2017

Extract

The knights of the shires and all the commonalty of the land: request that the king appoint justices to take fines from all those former adherents to the king's rebels and enemies who wish to come forward voluntarily and make fine for their trespass according to their wealth and the quantity of their lands. By this means the king will have profit and the commonalty of his land will be put at ease.
