Document 3/549/8 (CDS, iv, no. 1800)
- Description
- Evota of Stirling shows the king that during the siege of Stirling castle by the Scots, she assisted his garrison by procuring food supplies, etc. for them from the surrounding countryside. For this she was accused to the Scots besiegers, who threw her into prison for ten weeks, at the end of which term they made her forswear the country and banished her – all which can be testified by the garrison who are now the king’s archers. She prays a letter to the chancellor of Scotland to re-seise her in a messuage and three acres of land in the town of Stirling which she held during the siege, and which were taken from her for her service to the English; also that her country people neither impede nor harass her by reason of her aforesaid oath.
