His being interred here suggests that his misdeeds were forgiven and that he possessed some wealth either the result of his robberies or some unknown patron possibly Richard Neville Earl of Warwick under whom Malory may have spent time as a paid spy. In between in June 1450 he found the time to break into the house of Hugh Smyth of Monks Kirby stealing £40 pounds of goods and raping his wife. Eight weeks later Malory alone was charged with attacking the same woman in Coventry.
