IRHB comments

It is by no means certain that the fugitives had fled the village after committing a violent crime. A few lines after the above entry comes this: "Henry Osbern and William Osbern each amerced 3d. for default of suit of court."[3] Perhaps they simply failed to appear at a court session or fled the village to escape villeinage.
