Medieval Manuscripts

This document is a deed of release recording that William Pyx, Nicholas Bocher, Thomas Kingsnoth relinquish their claims to land called Stacys in Plickle or Pluckle (possibly Pluckley, in Kent) to John Hert de Hothfeld (Hothfield, also in Kent). The deed was issued at Pluckley in the first regnal year of Richard III (30 May 1484). The Latin text is written in Gothic cursive script. The lower edge of the document is folded and has three parchment tags, two with small wax seals and the third with remnants of wax.
