Quietus

Exciting news. I have received the 15th century document noted as "Quietus" for Roger Newburgh. It is currently being translated. There are other new clues too.
Now you may ask, "What is a quietus document?" Here is what I have found summarized by AI. It appears to be accurate.

"In the context of medieval times, a quietus document was essentially a discharge or release from a debt or obligation. More specifically, the term "quietus" originated from the Medieval Latin phrase "quietus est", meaning "he is quit" or "he is released". This phrase was initially used in legal documents in England to signify the discharge of a baron or knight from the payment of a knight's fee to the king.

Over time, the use of "quietus" broadened to encompass the termination or settlement of any debt or obligation. In medieval accounting and legal systems, it represented a final clearing of accounts. For example, the Clerk of the Pipe in England would issue a quietus to an accountant upon discharge, typically concluding with the phrase "abinde recessit quietus", meaning "hath gone quit thereof".

So, a medieval quietus document would have served as a formal record or proof that a particular debt, duty, or obligation had been fulfilled or discharged, effectively releasing the individual from further liability in that specific matter. "

If all this is accurate, then one might conclude that the document was for our Roger, not the Roger who was the Lord of the manor of East Lulworth which was a crown manor. However, both Rogers were stated to have been of East Lulworth which has conflicted historians for centuries.

The wax seal here is from that document. It appears to be an anchor, for which I have no idea of its meaning. Time will tell.
