Pleas of the Crown before the King's Council a Fortnight after Michaelmas in the Thirty-seventh Year of the Reign of Henry III (1253).
Lincolnshire.
William Bardolf complains against William of Kyme that, whereas here in the king's court he had at another time demanded the protection of the king's peace against William and his accessories on account of divers threats he had made, as he had heard, against him, and he had again demanded the protection of the king's peace against him in open county court at Lincoln, on Monday before St. Peter's Chains in this year William sent about three hundred of his men with Benedict, his servent, whom he had appointed as their constable, to William Bardolf's land at Anwick and Coteland, and there, by William of Kyme's order, they burned one of his houses. And on Thursday after St. Peter's Chains he again sent the same men to William Bardolf's land, and by his order they pulled down another of his houses and carried it away to North Kyme, along with the clothes and other things they seized in that house, worth thirty-five shillings. And on a third occasion, that is to say, on the following Sunday, William of Kyme sent these men of his with Benedict to a dike, concerning which William Bardolf had brought an assize of nuisance against William of Kyme etc. in pursuance whereof the jurors of the assize came there on that day with the king's bailiff to make a view etc. And by william of Kyme's order his mean beat the baliff and also some of the jurors, and from one juror they took a sword of which they are still in possession, and they shot one of William Bardolf's men with an arrow so that he died of the wound three days later. Wherefore he is wronged and has suffered loss to the amount of a thousand marks etc.
And William of Kyme comes and denies force etc. and whatever is against the king's peace, and prays judgement whether he is bound to answer William Bardolf or anyone else on a charge of giving instructions or harbouring before the fact has been proved. And because the fact is not proved, on that charge he may go without day until etc. And John de Aincurt, Walter de Dunstanville, Roberd de Ros, junior, Simon de Vere, Enguerrand de Bovington, Eudes of Friskney went bail for him and undertook to have him in court on a reasonable summons after any fact arising out of the aforesaid articles had been proved. And William de Kyme gives the king twenty marks.
