On 24 January 1326 an arrest warrant was issued to apprehend those involved in the murder of the corrupt Baron of the Exchequer and ardent supporter of the Despencers, Sir Roger de Beler, who had been killed going from Kirby Bellars to Leicester.[4] On 1 March a warrant was issued that named Sir Robert de Hellewell as one of the gang[4] and his land and goods were seized on 24 March.[3]
