Chronicle of England by William of Worcester. And a certain very famous cleric, one of those in the whole world in astronomy and the art of necromancy, Master Roger Bolingbroke, was arrested. He was publicly placed in the cemetery of St. Paul's with his necromantic garments and waxen images, and as many other necromantic instruments as possible, sitting on a high throne so that all could see his work. Later, he was drawn, hanged, and quartered [on 18 Nov 1441], and his head was placed upon London Bridge. This Master Roger was one of the most notable clerics in the whole world, and he was accused because of the aforementioned Lady Eleanor, for whom he was a counsellor in the magical arts. After her death, many lamented excessively.

Iste magister Rogerus erat notabilissimus clericus unus illorum in toto mundo, et accusatus est propter prædictam dominam Elianoram, cui conciliarius erat in arte magica, post cujus mortem multi lamentabantur valde nimis.
