The York Guild of Merchant Adventurers chastised the then Abbot of Fountains, Marmaduke Huby:

“…we understand that you occupy buying and selling lead and other merchandise as a free merchant, contrary to God’s laws and man’s, you being a spiritual man and of religion, and so your occupying is great damage and hurt to us merchants in these parts.”
