A HOUSEBREAKER OF THE MIDDLE AGES
One of the historical manuscripts taken from the vast store of the Manuscript Room for the EnglishAmerican Historical Conference is a record of proceedings in a Provencal court of law in 1392, not long before Dick Whittington became Lord Mayor of London. When the court met it was recorded that a certain Durandus had been before it 18 times. On one occasion, “in the hours that good men are at rest and wolves are about,” he had broken into a house, and stolen a tub of salt meat, seven or eight pounds of lard, and a half-cheese.
