Paul Booth of Keele University spotted the name ‘Roger Fuckebythenavele’ in the Chester County Court Plea Rolls for November 3, 1310. He was part of a long list of people that were supposed to be arrested by authorities, but could not be found. Over the next year he would be named in the records six more times, and because he could not be found, the court declared him an outlaw that was to be arrested. The final mention of Roger appears on September 28, 1311, with the sheriff still looking for him.
