Westgarth-Hill manor assault and ship news spread
A York- or Cumberland-area notice reports a man from Westgarth-Hill attacking his father and mother, leaving them crippled and beset by neighbors’ aid, with a surgeon’s care hoped. It also chronicles theft of a sword, a ship mutiny, peril at sea, and a flurry of European dispatches detailing wars, treaties, and royal affairs with multiple ships, storms, and port reports, including Prince Brasil’s illness and the Pope’s envoy.
