{ping|pl69}} I randomly came across your template from an entirely unexpected direction, and I realised that the only red link left was the one I was hoping to find.
Alas! It seems that Charles II with his Royal Adventurers set the royal seal on slavery in what would become the British Empire. It seems there is but one reliable source (Matthew Parker) about this fecund place. It's as if the entire balance of things hung on this little outpost, where justice took a back seat while power, lust, greed, and disdain for human life took control. I have found just one reference to any sort of Chief Justice of Willoughbyland and, in this utterly remote enclave, he is not—sadly—the sort of man you would want as a enemy. His name was William Byam
Justice was barely needed (it seems) at the start of this enterprise: but it appears to have been at at a premium towards its latter end. Nevertheless, I'm fairly sure that something more presentable than a stub can be fashioned from these bare bones. MinorProphet (talk) 04:46, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
