A thousand horses, a hundred and twenty plough-oxen, two hundred cows, three hundred bullocks, three hundred hogs, ten thousand sheep were driven off, and granges and barns burned to the ground.

It was judged afterwards that sixty thousand pounds would hardly cover the loss.
Weak as was the government of Mortimer and Isabella, the appeal of the abbot against this outrage was promptly heeded.

A royal force quelled the riot, thirty carts full of prisoners were despatched to Norwich; twenty-four of the chief townsmen with thirty-two of the village priests were convicted as aiders and abettors of the attack on the abbey, and twenty were summarily hanged.

Nearly two hundred persons remained under sentence of outlawry, and for five weary years their case dragged on in the King's Courts.

At last matters ended in a ludicrous outrage.
