However, Dominic, in +1381+:
The Mayor of Leicester, having heard that the rebellious peasants were in
Market Harborough, summoned all able-bodied men to meet on Gallowtree Hill
(by Vicky park gates today) and according to the chronicler Henry Knighton
about 1200 out of 2000 gathered.
To no avail: the rumour was false.
