Question

Royal chicanery after the death of a man from this city inspired both the tenth clause of the Magna Carta and actions in York that earned a man named Richard the sobriquet “Mala Bestia.” A man named Copin was the first of 19 people executed after an event in this city after John of Lexington drew a false confession from him. 12th-century “pipe rolls” contain primary records about a man from this city whose possessions escheated (“es-CHEAT-ed”) to the king upon his death and became the subject of a special division of the (*) Court of Exchequer. This city was the home (10[1])of Henry II’s main creditor (10[1]-5[1])and perhaps the wealthiest man (10[1])in Norman England, Aaron of [this (10[1])city].

For 10 points, (-5[2])“Little Saint Hugh” was from what English city of the northern Midlands? ■END■ (0[4])
