William de Colchester, Abbot of Westminster

by Ernest Harold Pearce

In vigilia sancti petri advincula fugit Rex Ricardus secundus a facie ducis Henrici Et postea in vigilia Assumpcionis beate marie captus est et se submisit ordinacioni prelatorum et procerum Anglie.

In crastino sancti laurentii feria secunda venerunt Londonienses ad Inquirendum Regem Ricardum II^um.
