 For some, the disruption caused by the Great Schism probably made the friary a more attractive place to study than continental institutions.The state did not make much use of the friary, unlike some of the others in London, though the Commissary Court did occasionally sit there.During the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, thirteen Flemings who had been sheltering in the friary were taken out and lynched by the mob, though the friars themselves appear to have been left unharmed.
