On a cold Monday in January 1293, five men, including Roger the Miller of Farndale and Walter Blackhous
of Farndale went hunting in a part of West Rosedale that belonged to St Mary’s
Abbey and at an unknown place in the forest they killed a soar (a sow or female
boar), and a hart (an adult male deer, generally a red deer over five years
old), with bows and arrows. They were all outlawed. (North Riding
Records Yorks, The Honour and Forest of Pickering, 1894, Volume II at page 110, possibly folio 222 in the Coucher Book).

de eadem die Lune proximo post festum Epiphanie
Domini vencrunt in foresta
quo loco ignorantur cum arcubus
et sagittis et occidenterunt
unum sourum et bersaverunt
unum cervum utlagentur
“On the same day, the Monday after the feast of the Epiphany of
the Lord, they fought in the forest, in an unknown place, with bows and arrows,
and killed one boar and killed one deer.” Ulagentur,
literally ‘they will cry’, means outlawed.
