The Red Book of the Exchequer belongs to the class of Place of Entry Books usually termed Precedent Books, but more < d correctly Registers, or Books of Remembrance. The amougst practice of compiling such works of reference seems to Registers, have obtained from a very early date. In the first place, we find a number of official compilations of the very highest value emanating from the clerical staff of the Curia and Exchequer, and designed ostensibly in the interests of the Crown. At one time or another, almost every department of the State has had its Precedent Book, but none can boast of such a collection of historic Registers as that which is still preserved amongst the Records of the Court of Exchequer, including Domes¬ day Book, and a number of kindred Feodaries which are of secondary importance only to the great Anglo- Norman Register itself—the Red Book, the Black Book, O Testa de Nevill, the Book of Aids, Kirby’s Quest, the Libri Munimentorum, and many more whose titles are household words to the student of our national Records. The Chancery, which made a speciality of stately rolls, as fairly written and nearly as accessible through the consecutive arrangement of their membranes as any entry book, had seldom occasion to resort to a form of Registration which was indispensable for the financial system of the Exchequer. The Common Law Courts, too, were on the whole content with the abbreviated and ill-arranged, yet wonderfully terse and graphic Records, which, like all “ headed ” rolls, were not calculated to facilitate a speedy reference to b 63377. 11 PREFACE. Later official Registers precedents. Registers- there were in plenty, containing law collections with Note Books and Reports, hut these were rather the result of private industry than of official zeal, and the statutes and public charters of the realm have chiefly been preserved to us in the Chronicles and Memorials of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Passing from the Middle Ages to the Law Courts and departments of the modern State, we find the fashion for compiling Entry Books fitfully observed down to the close of the seventeenth century. The ancient Courts of Law were distinguished by the increasing copiousness of contemporary Records, and the collection of modern precedents was continued by many hands. Statesmen and officials busied themselves with the task of transcribing mediaeval Remembrance Books and treatises, and the vast number of such transcripts (the Red Book itself being, perhaps, the most favoured of any exemplar) scattered throughout the chief manuscript col¬ lections of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries bears witness to their industry and discernment. Meanwhile a new Court, that of the Augmentations, undertook, and actually carried out within a few years of the middle of the sixteenth century, the compilation of the most com¬ plete and serviceable series of Precedent Books ever attempted before or since. The clerks of the Royal Household were engaged from the reign of Edward IV. upon another great series, which is even yet resorted to by the Lord Chamberlain’s Department as an official guide to all ceremonies of State. The Admiralty still possessed its famous Black Book, while from the Restoration the War Office had founded a series of Entry Books which has proved invaluable to the student of military antiquities. Lastly, a number of official Precedent Books of a very miscellaneous character had been compiled by the industrious zeal of successive Secretaries of State, from Lord Burgliley to Sir Joseph Williamson. PREFACE. Ill The example of the Crown in the making; of official Analogy Precedent Books was closely followed by those classes siasticaT of the subjects who had special need of such appliances Registers, for the preservation of their individual or corporate interests. Of these the Church was naturally the earliest, the most assiduous, and the most skilful com¬ piler of the choicest evidences of her possessions. Every monastery possessed its Register or Cartulary, the character and historical value of which are too well known to need any description, while the Registers of several Cathedral Churches and Colleges which have survived are at least equally important. At a neces- municipal •ii . . Registers, sarilv later date another splendid series or Registers begins, such as still exist in the proud possession of many a lay corporation, thanks to the half-forgotten offices of some civic Swereford of the fourteenth century. Besides these Entry Books of clerical and lay cor- and porations, a few great bishops and nobles had instituted Registers, a very perfect system of registration of their charters and judicial acts, as familiar examples of which may be cited Bishop Kellawe’s Register and the Cowcher Books of the Duchy of Lancaster. It is evident, therefore, that the Red Book of the Motives Exchequer was only one of a great class of Registers, C ompihi- designed with the common intention of preserving tion - certain important documents, as well as of displaying them to the best advantage for the purpose of con- \ enient reference. It is merely due to the feudal survivorship of the Crown that so many of the best- known examples of this class were swept from their shelves in the monastic aumbry or the baronial ward¬ robe, to keep company with Feodaries and Remembrance Books in the iron-bound chests of the King’s Treasury at Westminster. We may not only assume a common motive for the Typical compilation of these Registers, but we may go further tolltulN - and specify the common nature of their contents, which b 2 1Y PREFACE. Red,Black, and White Books not to be classified according to their colour. will be found in typical cases to comprise some or all of the following subjects—Charters, Statutes of the Realm, Placita, or other public acts, with private Deeds and Ordinances, Correspondence, Chronicles or Annals, religious, physical or legal Treatises, Topo¬ graphies, Genealogies or Successions, Surveys and Accounts, Precedents and Facetice. The Red Book itself contains some examples of all the above subjects, and we also find that a considerable portion of its contents recurs in independent Registers as a proof of a common origin and purpose. It is necessary thus at the outset to indicate the probable relationship of the Red book of the Exchequer with a large and widely-distributed class of muniments in order to realize adequately its generic position amongst Records, which, although generally recognised, has not hitherto been definitely stated . 1 Fortunately, the nature and contents of many of the kindred Registers in official or private custody are so well known that the analysis of the Exchequer MS. given in the Table of Contents will enable the reader to verify at leisure the several points of resemblance which have been alluded to here. Another means of classification, which is perhaps more popular, though in reality merely superficial, is to be found in the resemblance of the titles applied to this and other Registers. The Red Book of the Irish Exchequer is still preserved in the Dublin Record Office .' 2 There was formerly a Red Book amongst the muniments of the Corporation of London , 3 and one of the ancient Precedent Books of the church of Wells 4 1 Since these lines were written, a ■ 2 Report on Public Records, Ire- clear definition of this class of Re- I land, p. 159. cords has been given by Mr. Scar- j 3 Monument.

Y bore the same title, and the Red Book of Hergest, con¬ taining the text of the Bruts is well known. There was even in the fourteenth century at least one other Red Book in official custody, for we find in a contemporary Record the note that a recent eclipse of the sun has been duly entered in “ Rubeo Libro vocato Chronicles.” 1 Before the close of the sixteenth century provincial Red Books abounded, as, for instance, the Red Book of Jesus College, Oxford , 2 the Red Book of Bath , 3 the Red Book of Derby , 4 and the lost Red Books of Gloucester 5 and Nottingham . 6 It is scarcely necessary to observe that the colour of the leather binding of such Registers is no indication whatever as to the nature of their contents, precisely similar compilations being indifferently known as Red Books, Black Books, or White Books . 7 Thus, besides the well-known Black Books of the Exchequer at Westminster and Dublin, two other volumes bearing this title were included anions the lost Registers of the Guildhall, whose White Book still survives as a thoroughly typical Precedent Book. Similarly, there was a Black Book of St David’s, a Black Book of the Church of Holy Trinity at Dublin , 8 the Black Book of Limerick , 9 the Black Book of Lincoln , 10 and the Black and White Books of Wells , 11 the White Books of York and Southwell , 12 and the Table Books of the Cinque Ports : 13 1 Inq., 34 Edw.

The above examples have been chosen to illus¬ trate the widely different nature of certain Regis¬ ters bearing a similar title, but it may be further pointed out that the very titles of several of these volumes have become inappropriate with the lapse of centuries. The Red Book of the Exchequer is now rather black than red, and the contemporary Black Book of the same Court has, like the White Book of St. Edmunds , 1 acquired a roseate covering, while the well known verses on a fly-leaf of the Guildhall White Book point to a similar transformation as early as the reign of Elizabeth . 2 Finally, the two famous volumes known as the Liber A. and Liber B., though once red in colour, are now of precisely the same hue as the Red Book of the Exchequer itself . 3 The Red Book of the Exchequer in relation to this class is to be regarded as representing the interests of the royal Exchequer. As a Feodary, this Register accurately determined the liabilities of the tenants in respect of military service or Scutage, or indeed any further assessment wherein the knight’s fee served as the unit of taxation. From a narrower view, the officials of the Exchequer were personally concerned in the smooth ;ind expeditious collection of these feudal assessments. Moreover, it was always an object with them to show that whoever else might be liable, they at least were not by virtue of their office, for which purpose it was desirable that the exemptions noted in 1 MS. Hark, 1005. 2 It is a rather curious coinci¬ dence that the famous Register E. of the French Chancery, still pre¬ served, which was compiled in the second quarter of the xiiith century by an official churchman of distinc¬ tion, was also known as a Red Book, or rather as the “ Registrum Rubeum.” This also contained lists of knights’ fees. 3 Memorandum that on the 19th Jan., 14 Henry VI., thq/Treasurer, &c., delivered to the keeper of the Privy Seal, “ duos libros corio rubio “ coopertos, vocatos Libros de Re- “ membranee ” {Liber Memoran¬ dorum, fo. 79 d). PREFACE. vii the Ancient Charters and Pipe Rolls should he per¬ petuated in a handy-book of reference . 1 As a Cartulary the Red Book of the Exchequer was a most serviceable Register of Surrenders to the Crown, Exchanges, or other Quit-claims, the practical use of which has been positively demonstrated by the labour incurred during the preparation of the Table of Contents to the present Edition, in the identification of the originals or inrolmerits of the several charters tran¬ scribed here. Again, from an official point of view, the terms of many of these instruments involved a very nice adjustment of certain annual charges in the Sheriffs’ Accounts—matters which might easily be lost sight of unless the unmatured instruments were “posted,” so to speak, in the Office of the Receipt. As an Entry Book of State Papers, Statutes, and other Public Acts, this book has long been famous for its choice collection of historical documents, aud for its authoritative text. Most of these will be found, as might have been expected, to deal with questions of fiscal interest: Papal Bulls on the subject of first- fruits and tenths; correspondence of the Emperor Frederick II., associated in the minds of Exchequer officials with a recent Marriage Aid; correspondence with the French King, involving a question of homage and of the finances of Gascony; conventions with Flanders, based upon supplies of men and money, and negociations with Scotland connected with an historical obligation. The Statutes and Ordinances entered here are chiefly such as relate to the govern¬ ment or reformation of the Exchequer, while even if the more ancient and interesting of the remaining Public Acts do not directly concern the business of this Court, they were such—the laws of Henry I. and as a Car¬ tulary, as an En¬ try Book, 1 Dialogus de Scaccario, i, 11. vm PREFACE. and as a Precedent Book of the Ex¬ chequer. Curiosities of the MS. Its autho¬ rity as a book of Evidence. the Anglo-Norman Charters of liberties, for example—as invited the studious attention of every official of the Curia, which owed its own origin to the resultant definition of the constitution. As an Entry Book of Departmental Precedents and. Memoranda, the Bed Book of the Exchequer deserves the highest praise. The Officers of State were sworn upon the oaths entered in its pnges down to our own times. Forms of writs, directions for renewing tallies, every kind of information that might prove useful to future generations of chamberlains and clerks, to the just measure of a hundredweight of office wax, was scattered over its fly-leaves, blank folios, and spacious margins, in addition to the classical treatise upon the system of the Court, and the remarkable writs of Protection that were intended to illustrate its doctrine of Exchequer privilege. It was only fair that, with this strict attention to official business, a little worldly gossip should have crept in to lighten the perusal of interminable columns of knights’ fees and precedents. This irrelevant matter is, however, very slight: A description of Babylon and a few other excerpts from some monastic register; an account of the coronation of Eleanor of Provence, in which, moreover, the professional subject of Serjeanties was introduced; a few royal genealogies and a calendar of regnal years, useful for official ready-reckoning; and a solitary distich with a moral tendency, while even the dignified Black Book of the same Court could count a hundred poetic essays, besides the relief of various pen-and-ink sketches. It will be evident from the above outline of its contents that the Bed Book of the Exchequer was undoubtedly a compilation of the greatest value and utility to the officers of the Court, and it may also be gathered from several contemporary notices that its authority was at least highly respected by the PREFACE. IX Courts of Law and frequently invoked by other depart¬ ments of the State. The notices in question, which might easily be multiplied, are chiefly of inrolments ordered or found to be made in this book, or of appeals to its authority in c.tses before the Courts. 1 It is evident from the recurrence of the entry, “ scrutato Libro Rubeo,” that this Register had come to be acknowledged as an authority on questions con¬ cerning the tenure of lands, in which it might even be exemplified in the same way as Domesday Book itself. Herein, however, an important reservation was made by the King’s Justices, to the effect that such Registers might be received “ pro evidentiis sed non “ pro recordo ” 3 and that, as to the Red Book itself, “ il n’est mie de Record cy.” 3 From these and certain later notices it would seem The Red that the Red Book of the Exchequer was preserved in official** the custody of the Treasurer and Barons, or more im- Custody, mediately in that of the King’s- Remembrancer, as a precedent book of the Court from a very early period, perhaps from the year 1246. 4 In the reign of Henry VI. this Register, with other important Exchequer Records, was ordered by the Crown to be transcribed. 5 This transcript does not appear to have survived, but there is evidence of considerable attention having been bestowed 1 Aucient Deeds, A. 350, 355, 1875.

Case of an Exchequer Record in¬ terpolated. upon the original in the course of the next century- in the shape of the addition of most of the forms of oaths and the Tables of Contents, while, as pre¬ viously mentioned, it was during this same period that numerous transcripts were made of the better known portion of its contents. From the end of the seventeenth century down to the date of its transfer 1 into the custody of the Master of the Rolls, references to the Red Book of the Exchequer abound in the works of antiquaries and £enealo«ists. 2 We learn further that the Book was still in the custody of the King’s Remembrancer, having been always preserved in an iron chest within that office. 3 II. The subject of the official custody of the MS. raises a question of the gravest importance in connection with its integrity, in view of certain early references to transcripts of documents which are no longer, in their original form, at least, included amongst its contents. A few years ago, Mr. L. Owen Pike, the learned editor of the “Year Books,” drew attention to a remarkable instance in which a document, which is stated in two contemporary Records to have been enrolled in the Red Book in the 11th year of Edward III., is only represented in the existing volume by a copy entered out of place in the reign of Henry VI., and for other reasons obviously intended to replace the earlier entry. 4 The discovery in question was the result of Mr. Pike’s verification of a reference made by Sir Edward Coke to certain proceedings in the case of a Writ of 1 17 May 1870. 2 e.g., Dugdale, Madox, Le Neve, Hearne, Hunter, Eyton, &c. 3 Communicated by R. Hankins, | Esq., of the Queen’s Remembran¬ cer’s Office. 4 Year Book, 14 Edw. III. (Rolls), pp. xx-xxv. PREFACE. XI Error in the 14th year of Edward III., entered at fo. 322 d of the Red Book. This entry, however, proves to be a fifteenth century copy of a Record enrolled in the Memoranda of the 11th year of Edward III., reference to which again exhibits the following con¬ clusive note :—“ Et memorandum quod breve praescrip- “ tum et aliud breve de quo fit mentio superius, sunt “ inter Communia de hoc anno xj° ; et csetera contenta “ in dicta certificatione annota[n]tur modo specialiori “ in Rubeo libro de Scaccario, et in Recordis et processu- “ bus habitis coram Baronibus ad placita ibidem.” 1 There can be no doubt as to the date of the sub¬ stituted entry in the Red Book, since apart from the character of the hand and position at the end of the volume, the expression, “ Edwardi tertii nuper regis “ Anglim ” is decisive, and there existed moreover a strong motive in the reign of Henry VI. for restoring the missing entry. It must also he regarded as a fatal objection to a theory which has been strongly advanced in defence of the integrity of the MS. 2 that the expression “ annotatur ” is one of those most fre¬ quently used to denote an official inrolment, and that it actually occurs in the cross-reference from the later Red Book entry to the Memoranda. 3 Therefore the phrase was not loosely used, as has been suggested, by way of reference to the Dialogus, or the writs of Brotection entered in an earlier part of the Red Book. Besides this, the second writ referred to can actually be identified in another part of the Memoranda Roll, and therefore is not the “ caetera contenta,” as has also been suggested. Clearly the meaning is that the proceedings in the Exchequer, as forming the body of the Record, were entered contemporaneously with an 1 Q. R. and L. T. R. Memoranda, Hil. Communia, 11 Edw.

Second case of the formulae of mediae¬ val oaths omitted. xii PREFACE. official preamble in the Red Book, in the same way as the “Ordinances of the Exchequer,” 1 and several other Statutes and Records, “ more especially ” for the information of the Treasurer and Barons. It is well known that during the last three centuries of the preservation of the MS. in the custody of the Queen’s Remembrancer, frequent reference was made to a certain portion of its contents for the purpose of administering various oaths of office according to the prescribed formulae. The greater number of these oaths being entered in a sixteenth century hand on the fly-leaves of the Book, this view of its official use, although perhaps more familiar than any other, has generally been regarded as a matter of purely modern interest. It is, however, an interesting fact that a certain Red Book was from a very early period recog¬ nized as the forrnular for the oaths of allegiance of the magnates of England ; and that it was apparently preserved in this connection, amongst the most sacred relics of the King’s private Treasury. But this is not all that we thus unexpectedly learn concerning an eventful episode in the life-history of this belated Red Book. We are able to trace its progress with the King from Westminster to Scotland during the last ten years of the reign of the first Edward, carefully packed in one of the Wardrobe chests, between the folds of the State cloths of gold, or at other times lying wedged between the skull of one of the Eleven Martyr Virgins of Cologne and the fingers of Edward the Confessor, in the very 'penetralia of the Treasury of the Chamber. It was in a Wardrobe Account 2 of the 31st year of Edward I. that the Editor first found a notice of an Exchequer MS. in the above unusual surroundings, the 1 Table of Contents, Nos. 2. r >8-261. These are entered sub ptde sigilli, as to the significance of which see Cooper on the Records, s. v. “ Red Rook of the Exchequer.” 2 Q. R. Misc. Wardrobe PREFACE. Xlll Account in question being an inventory of the Trea¬ sury of the Wardrobe taken at Westminster, in which the contents of the several chests are described, and amongst others those of a “ small leather coffer ” filled with cloths of gold and samite, amongst which we find “ Liber Rubeus qui vocatur textus super quem Mag- “ nates Anglim solebant jurare.” 1 The clue to the further discovery that this portion, at least, of the Wardrobe Treasury was not stationary at Westminster was found in the mention of a gold cup given to Edward by his second Queen as a New Year’s Gift on the first of January, in the 30th year, and delivered into the Wardrobe at Linlithgow. It was evident, then, that some part of this treasure had recently travelled from Scotland, and a careful examination of the remaining Accounts of the reign revealed the following o o o remarkable circumstances :— A very minute inventory of the contents of the Wardrobe at Westminster in the early part of the 24th year establishes the fact that no Exchequer MSS. were at that time preserved there. 2 We find, however, that the chest in which this Red Book of Oaths was preserved in the 31st year, had been despatched from Berwick to London on the 17 th September of the 24th year in company with the Scotch regalia taken at Edinburgh and a chest, “ in quo continetur scripta “ magnatum et aliorum Regni Scotiae de fidelitatibus “ suis et homagiis post guerram Scotiae anno xxiv to .”3 These chests seem to have remained at Westminster between the 24th and the 28th years, for an inventory, taken there in November of the 27th year, mentions the 1 That this is an official and not merely a literary title is shown by the description given in these same Accounts to the stone “ Super quam reges Scotiae solebant coronari.” 1 Q.

Palgrave in “ Scotch Documents.” XIV PREFACE. “ Liber Rubeus super quem magnates solent jurare.” 1 Another inventory taken in April of the 28th year states that a portion of the contents of the Wardrobe at Westminster had been “trussed” for a journey to Scotland. The MS. is again mentioned in this account, 2 and it seems almost certain that it followed the Court to Linlithgow, whence it was despatched to Westminster some time after January of the 30th year, and was deposited once more, as we have seen, in the Wardrobe Treasury with other regalia and relics. This was in November of the 31st year, and it was at some date during the next six months that the famous robbery of the Treasury took place, that is to say, of the Wardrobe Treasury situated in the vaults of the Chapter House. 3 It is possible, therefore, that this Red Book was amongst the contents of the chests rifled by the robbers, and that it was con¬ temptuously tossed aside when the jewelled shrine of the Cross of St. Neots presented itself as a more tempting spoil, 4 for, at least, it does not appear in the inventory of the treasure recovered. 5 Finally we meet with a notice of this Book once more on the road to Scotland, which on this occasion it was not des¬ tined to reach. In the inventory of Edward I.’s effects, taken immediately after his death at Burgh-on-the- Sands, we find the same Red Book in company with the heterogeneous volumes which had throughout shared its travels— the Book of Chronicles, the Book of Romance, the works of devotion, the two unknown Registers with silver-gilt plates, 6 together with the 1 Q.

III. may be quoted, which records the purchase of 1 Bible, 3 books of PREFACE. XV Cross of St. Neots, and the panoply of political relics. Even the young Queen’s gift of five years back was there, with the inevitable trunk of the cloths of gold. * 1 Two questions naturally arise from a consideration of the above remarkable occurrences. In the first place we may ask was this possibly the Red Book of the Exchequer? It will be observed that the volume mentioned in these accounts was best known in con¬ nection with the ceremony of receiving the oaths of fealty of the English barons, and the inference might be drawn that Edward I., whose characteristic diplo¬ macy in his feudal relations with his troublesome neighbours of Scotland and Wales and his own out¬ spoken barons took, like that of Louis XI. of France, the form of exacting oaths of fealty upon certain sacred emblems, carried an official formular about with him for this purpose, in company with the Cross of St. Neots, the Black Rood of Scotland, and the other relics which were undoubtedly used on these occasions. 2 3 In this case the book would supply the forms of oaths as romance, 1 Juvenal, and 1 Porti- foriuru from the goods of Henry deTatton, “because it was certified “ to the King that the same re- “ lated to the solemnity of the ■■ Feasts, and were of great value.” The plated hooks here referred to may* possibly have been the same as are stated to have been stripped by order of the Council, and melted down in the reign of Edward VI. (Audit O., Declared Accounts, Bdle. 1533, Roll I.) 1 The atmosphere of the charnel- house which pervaded the official and diplomatic life of the Court is quite depressing, even to a modern student of the Household Accounts of this reign. During the last ten years especially, the King could not j move without a whole assortment j of coffers and shrines filled with I relics and a museum of choice I curiosities, such as a vial of dra- I gon’s blood, a griffin’s horn, &c. Amidst these melancholy sru'round- ! ings we are not surprised to find a Wardrobe clerk embellishing his account with the following sorrow- j ful ejaculation.—“ Ego dixi in dimi- j “ dio dierum meorum, Vadam ad j “ portas Inferi.” 3 Wardrobe Account, 28 Ed.

We know further that the chamber- lain attended on this and similar occasions (Close Roll, 21 Edw. I., m. 8d.), and this officer was the legal custodian of the Red Book and other Exchequer Records. 2 In addition to these original formula, which seem to have been recovered, stitched in, and tran¬ scribed at the close of the xvth century, we know that a formula for the Chancellor’s oath must have beeu used at the Exchequer, for an interesting direction for administer¬ ing the same is given in the Q.

That Edward was quite equal to the responsibility of removing a Record from official custody is proved by his action in the case of certain Chancery Hulls at this very date, the chest in which they were contained being broken open by the King’s orders, and the Rolls forwarded to Scotland. The Exchequer officials, how¬ ever, seem to have been allowed the cost of a new lock and key. 1 The second question that arises in connection with this possible disposition of the Red Book in the King’s Wardrobe 2 is, how did the officers of the Exchequer fare whilst deprived of their highly-prized Register? During the greater part of the period the Exchequer was resident at York, having been transferred thither in the 26th year. From the detailed description which exists of the mode of transfer on this and a subsequent occasion in the next reign, we gather that the entire contents of the Treasury, including the Records and Tallies, were conveyed with enormous labour to the northern capital. 3 It is conclusively proved by another Wardrobe account of the 35th year 4 that the Red Book mentioned above was received by the King from Walter de Langton, the Treasurer, and the theory that this MS. 1 Close Roll, 20 Edw. I., m. 13 d. 2 Although no one who was ac¬ quainted with the peculiar functions exercised by the Wardrobe during this reign or with the dispersal of the contents of the central Treasury would be surprised at the above incident, it may be advisable to point to one undoubted instance of an Exchequer Register being lodged in the former department during this period.

It is even possible that the fine copies of these documents, still preserved among the originals of the Exchequer Miscellanea are the actual exemplars from which the entries should have been made had the Red Book been available at the time. 2 A third instance of palpable omission is fur¬ nished by a passage in the History of Matthew Paris. At the conclusion of the description of Richard I.’s coronation in the “ Historia Anglorum ” the follow¬ ing remarkable note is appended by the author:— “ Officia prelatorum et magnatum quae ab antiquo “ jure et consuetudine in regum coronationibus sibi “ vindicant et facere debent, in rotulis Scaccarii “ poterunt reperiri.” 3 This note is partly written over an erasure, but in the Abbreviatio by the same author the following note is embodied in the text :—“ Et quia exigit plenitudo historiae officia “ quorundam magnatum qui (sic) in coronationibus ha- “ bent implere, de antiqua consuetudine, lectorem hujus “ libelli abbreviati ad historiam transmitto prolixiorem, “ quae in consuetudinibus Scaccarii poterit reperiri.” 4 As there exists at the present day no Exchequer roll or custumal in which an account of the services ren¬ dered at the Coronation of Richard I. is entered, it 1 In one case the original thus Bishop Stapleton’s Calendar, fo. inserted bears the contemporary 150, in support of this view. note “Scribatur hoc primo in Libro 3 Hist.

XIX might be thought that this is a vague and general reference to an earlier tradition or to the later and surviving precedents in connection with the corona¬ tion of Eleanor of Provence. There are good reasons, however, for believing that such an account as is here referred to must have once existed for the former event, since Hoveden, Bromton, 1 and other authorities give an abbreviated narrative, which is fuund in a more detailed form in a transcript of the so-called chronicle of John Beaver, which is inserted, curiously enough, in a Cotton MS. behind the narrative of the coronation of Henry III.’s Queen 2 from the Bed Book of the Exchequer. Here, in addition to other technical allusions there is the following passage :—“ Comites “ autem et barones, sicut eorum solebant patres, servie- “ runt.” It can scarcely be doubted, therefore, that Matthew Paris’s reference was to some Exchequer Prece¬ dent Book which no longer exists; but considerable light is thrown upon the relationship of this missing Begister by the unmistakeable reference to the source of the same historian’s later description of the pageant of 1236. This occurs in a marginal note in the following words :—“ Hsec omnia in consuetudinario Scaccarii me- “ lius et plenius reperientur.” It will be shown pre¬ sently that this reference at least is to the Bed Book of the Exchequer.

Be this as it may, it is certain that many public instru¬ ments were issued from and received in the Curia of the Norman Kings, for the texts of these instruments have been preserved by certain chroniclers, as well as in private Registers, and we cannot suppose that the scribes obtained their intelligence from any other source than the Curia itself, facility of access to which is the best known test of the value of every history of the twelfth century at least. One possible means of com¬ munication is indicated by the relations which existed between historians, like William of Malmesbury or Henry of Huntingdon, and patrons like Bishops Roger of Salisbury and Alexander of Lincoln. It was also possible, nay, easy, for a favoured historiographer at the court of a literary sovereign to obtain access to documents which may even have been the common property of the learned crowd of courtiers. The supposition is by no means improbable, neither is it very new, but it does not help us to answer two ques¬ tions of very great importance. The first is; what was the system adopted for the custody of these official docu¬ ments ? The second is; by what agency have they been preserved to us in certain official or private Registers ? As far back as we can trace the issue of royal laws or royal missives, even back to the remote antiquity of Oriental monarchy, we shall find these two essential conditions of their composition and preservation, a clerical staff and a repository. The first of these con¬ ditions varied in character with the nationality or requirements of the kingly state, but the second almost invariably took the form of a sanctuary wherein the royal rolls kept company with the royal treasure. 1 1 Palgrave Kal a ad Invent. I. xiv. PREFACE. XXI The existence of such a treasure-house under the Saxon and Norman Kings can be more easily con¬ jectured than proved, in spite of the casual references in contemporary chronicles, and the tradition of a later age, which assigns its position to the Church of Westminster and the Castle of Winchester alternately. That such archives existed is proved by the fact that .specimens have survived, while their very preservation, under all the circumstances, might be held to prove their sufficient custody. We are, however, absolutely devoid of delinite information as to the system which may have existed for this purpose. It is not insisted on here as a hard and fast rule, at West- that access to every public instrument was obtained ^^dse- by the professional historian only through the medium where, of the Exchequer. The royal Treasury, situated in the Exchequer Buildings at Westminster, was from the middle of the twelfth century at least the normal repo¬ sitory of the State Archives, 1 but there were also other temporary or extraordinary treasuries which served equally as repositories of Records during the next century. The Camera Regis and the Wardrobe, or indeed the strong-room of any royal castle or church might be utilized for this purpose, 2 yet it is not to this local distribution of the archives, even if it obtained to any extent, that we must look for an explanation of their provincial publication. Copies of the most important documents were frequently communicated for the information of spiritual and lay magnates, and their preservation was thus directly ensured in private Registers, let if the existing Domesday Book was in¬ deed compiled in the Conqueror’s reign, there must have 1 Antiquities and Curiosities of ^ the Exchequer, eh. 1.

As some solution of this problem was imperative, historians have very reasonably assigned these duties to a staff of royal chaplains or clerks, who may as well be supposed to have performed similar duties under William I. as during the new organization of the Curia and Exchequer in the reign of Henry I. They have also assigned as the scene of these clerical labours the Camera of the peripatetic Curia. According to the above theory it must have been from this Camera, the common ante-chamber of the Curia and Exchequer alike, that the documents com¬ municated to the 'proteges of Roger Bishop of Salisbury and his nephew were issued. In some respects, and espe¬ cially in order to overcome certain archaeological diffi¬ culties, it would be preferable to waive this view of the royal Camera, and frankly to suppose that the docu¬ ments in question were actually lent to the historian, or at least inspected bv him out of official custody; but this suggestion is so entirely at variance with our knowledge of the elaborate safeguards and checks em¬ ployed only in the next generation for the preservation of such records that we must absolutely reject it. The gap must indeed be a wide one, not in time but in point of practice, between the accepted view of William of Malmesbury borrowing the national records from a complacent minister and that of the same minis¬ ter's nephew and great-nephews seated at work in the Exchequer buildings at Westminster—buildings which were apparently as ruinous through age as the Saxon palace itself—surrounded by a vast collection 1 Eyton, “ Notes on Domesday.” PREFACE. XXlll of records and registers compiled absolutely upon the same plan that was destined to endure for centuries, bestowed with the most jealous care in presses and chests secured with iron bands and triplicate locks, under the charge of a large and highly trained staff of clerks whose foremost instruction was that nothing should be taken away without the written order of the Court. 1 Therefore until further light is thrown upon the shadowy fabric of this Camera, and yet equally without insisting over-much upon the theory invited by the arch¬ aeology of the Westminster Exchequer, it may be worth while to pursue our inquiry from another starting point. There is no part of our limited information regarding the practice of the Exchequer in the twelfth century more clearly defined than the references which we possess to the practice of registering original documents affect¬ ing the state of the King’s revenue or the personal interests of the officials. The originals in question have only survived in a few cases, but in many others their contents have been preserved in certain Registers. Domesday Book, the official example of a group of kindred feodaries, is an instance of this practice, almost as early as the Conquest, in respect of one important branch of fiscal procedure. 2 It is scarcely to be believed that the elaborate organization of the Exchequer under Roger of Salisbury, Nigel of Ely, Richard of London, and William of Ely should have been destitute of such appliances for necessary reference. Therefore it really matters very little whether the feodaries, year-rolls, royal writs, charters and diplomatic documents which 1 Dialogus , i. 5. 2 Item in alio libro Thesauri Regis tempore Willelmi Regis . . . abreviatio hidarum.

Just as we are apt to forget that feudal inquisitions were so inrolled from the reign of the Conqueror, so we too frequently ignore the positive notices and even the surviving fragments of other in- rolments in which historical documents may as easily have found a place as in the unbroken series which dates from the first years of the thirteenth century. 1 The Camera or Receipt of the twelfth century had not much to learn from the monastic scriptorium, and may at least be credited with a similar desultory but invaluable practice of registration, of which the Inquisition of Templars’ lands and the lesser Black Book of the Ex¬ chequer are amongst the earliest surviving examples. It might be objected to this view of a system of purely official registration that the official instinct itself was o incompatible with the single-hearted devotion of the royal service of that age; but the whole tone of the Dialogus reveals on the contrary a naive adherence to vested interests in the face of the requirements < f the royal service. 2 Therefore if the satire which charged the great clerical treasurers with a too strict devotion to the revenue roll in place of the missal be just, it should at least be added that, all anti-clerical and anti- feudal though tliey were, they read the former by the rubric of the memoranda of their official privileges. 3 The question that we have to answer, and on which the origin and position of the Red Book of the Ex- 1 Dialogus, I. 14, which enume¬ rates lost enrolments, fragments of which may still be identified. 3 Ibid., I. 8 and 11. 3 Court Life under the Plantaga nets, 238-240, 2G9. PREFACE. XXV chequer really depends, is this, whether the science of the Exchequer in which Bishops Roger and Nigel, and even Henry of Winchester, were so fully versed, did in fact perish with them; or whether it formed the basis of the later collections of Richard Fitz-Nigel and Alexander de Swereford. The latter’s allusion to the technical works of the four great Treasurers of the twelfth century and first decade of the thirteenth is very slight, hut it is confirmed in one instance by the sur¬ vival of an inestimable treatise. We may remember, too, that Richard Fitz-Nigel himself attributes his knowledge of Exchequer practice to the gleanings of his predecessor’s science, while his admiring references to the official skill of the great organizer of the Ex¬ chequer, like that of Swereford himself to the repute of William of Ely, 1 with some other indications, tend 1 It may be to the purpose of the present argument to point out that this Treasurer may have in¬ herited his skill in Exchequer practice, for it it quite possible that he was Richard Eitz-Nigel’s brother. The latter was also fre¬ quently spoken of as “ Elyensis ”— from the monastery where, like William, he w'as probably educated. This theory receives further con¬ firmation from the fact that Richard Eitz-Nigel himself was known to one at least of the scribes of the Historia Elietisis as “ Franciscus.” In the Pipe Roll, 1 John, Essex and Herts, William the Treasurer accounted for Richard’s lands, and was pardoned three-fourths of a year’s rent in respect of them. The point is of real interest, because considerable confusion has hitherto prevailed as to the identity of the Treasurer under whom Swereford laboured at the Exchequer with such grateful devotion, and who has been frequently confused with William de S. Mariae Ecclesia, and with William Longchamps, bishop of Ely r , himself. William of Ely, the Treasurer, was also a church¬ man, and the Stall of Leighton was conferred on him during voidance of the See of Lincoln (Pat. 9 John, m. 6). On the other hand, it should be noticed that no such brother of Richard is mentioned by the his¬ torian of Ely (Licbermann, Einlei- tung, p. 30, n. 2) ; but this may' be due to a great disparity in the ages of the brothers, since Richard was introduced into the service of the Crown soon after 1158, and William “Auglicus” does not appear as a Baron of the Exchequer before 1184. Richard the Treasurer died in 1198, arid William the Treasurer in 1222; yet, as Bishop Mgel sur¬ vived till 1169, this younger son may w r ell have lived till the latter date. XXVI PREFACE. Early documents enrolled in semi¬ official Registers. to strengthen the suspicion that from the reign of Henry I. onwards, documents of historical or official interest were transcribed in semi-official registers by the hands or under the direction of these treasurers themselves, and at least it can be shown that three important documents were thus preserved. Of the above the first is the convention of 1101, be¬ tween Henry I. and Robert, Count of Flanders, which is entered in the Small Black Book of the Exchequer. The second is an establishment of the King’s House, which apparently refers to the Ducal Court in Nor¬ mandy about the year 1135. 1 The third, a Return of Norman Knights’ Fees, can be dated in the year 1172, but a still earlier Inquest of the Fees of the Bishopric of Bayeux, appended to this return, goes back to the year 1133. 2 Here then we have documents of an official interest dating from the reign of Henry I., which have been transcribed for better preservation in an official Precedent Book, dated in its present form only from the second quarter of the thirteenth century. 3 It will be obvious that any document pre¬ served in the Norman Exchequer, could not have been copied by an English scribe later than the year 1204, and it is a curious fact that the Inquest of 1133 was taken before Robert of Gloucester, the patron of courtly historians, and the contemporary of Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, to whom the Expositiones Vocabu¬ lorum were generally attributed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. 4 At the same time it cannot yet be proved that these interesting twelfth century fragments were once con- 1 Stapleton, Norman Rolls, I. xx. 2 Ibid., II. xi. 3 More than one of the Returns of Knights’ Fees in the Exchequer Registers can be dated in the reign of Henry I. 4 For the possible origin of the Expositiones Vocabvlorum, see Pre¬ face to Part III., where the question is discussed at length. PREFACE. XXV11 tained in an official Register in the sense that we apply the term to the later contents of the Red Book. We may even consider them as analogous to the collections of laws, charters, and diplomatic correspondence of a still earlier period, preserved in some lost Register connected with the Quadripartitus, which itself was possibly inspired through Archbishop Gerard’s connection with the Curia during the first decade of the century. These are, in fact, like the original sections of the Red Book, private collections— libelli —evoked by the vigorous existence of a central government, and tinged with a strong monarchical bias—precursors of the Dialogus de Scaccario and the Tractatus de legibus Anglice. This book was made for Archbishop Gerard, that for Bishop Alexander; this by Richard the Treasurer, that by Alexander the Archdeacon. There was certainly no other way of learning the country’s history and policy from documentary evidence than through the Curia, but a Malmesbury monk instructed by the Bishop of Salisbury in the earlier period, and a St. Alban’s monk, by the Archdeacon of Salop, in the later period, were in as favourable a position to all appear¬ ance as the King’s clerk, who was able to turn over the originals with his own hand. The book could be O made, and it was made; it could be inspected by future historians, and it was inspected ; the only difference is this, that the borrowed text is often seriously corrupt compared with that of the Register, which contained a direct transcript from the original. Still, with all these facilities for hasty perusal or leisurely transcription, there was undoubtedly a re¬ siduum of highly important documents which seem to have been accessible only to the most privileged his¬ torian through the Exchequer itself, probably because these instruments were such as directly or indirectly concerned the state of the King’s revenue, and for that reason were transmitted directly into the Barons’ Cham- Practiee of registering certain Exchequer Prece¬ dents. xxvm PREFACE.

Here, since the distinction of the Exchequer as an independent and jealously guarded department of the Curia, they were not easily accessible, the proof being that several most important documents remained undis¬ covered down to our own times, while still more would have shared the same fate but for the accidental connec¬ tion of three great historians with the Exchequer itself. The documents in the nature of State Papers, dated during the second half of the twelfth century, which are entered in the Red Book of the Exchequer, are seven in number, all of the greatest historical interest. The first of these is the Convention of Westminster, 1153, between King Stephen and Henry Fitz-Empress. The only text of this document hitherto noticed is that preserved in the Exchequer Registers, but, as might have been expected from its date and general interest, two other authoritative texts exist in the Chroni¬ cle of Bromton, and the Gurney (Macro) MS. 1 In the case of the next two documents in order of date, however, the Conventions of 1103, between Henry II. and the Court of Flanders, no other text than that of the Red and Black Books is known to exist. The fourth document is the famous Con¬ vention of Falaise, otherwise the submission and homage made to Henry II. by William the Lion, in 1175. This was transcribed by Diceto and Benedict Abbas 2 the latter of whom only alludes to the next document of this series—the alleged forged letter of William the Lion to the Pope in the matter of the subjection of the Scotch Church to the See of York 3 — 1 Since these lines were written Mr. Macray has published the text of the Macro MS. in the Hist.

XXIX but Avlio again transcribes the release of the Scotch homage made by Richard I. in 1189. 1 The remaining document of the series, the writ of Richard I., author¬ izing tournaments under certain conditions in 1194, was described by Hoveden, who quoted portions of its contents in a very abridged form. 2 It is surely something more than a coincidence that Benedict began to write in 1171, and therefore some years after the date of the first three of the above- mentioned documents, that he has been proved with almost absolute certainty to have been none other than Richard Fitz-Nigel, the King’s Treasurer and the author of the Dialogus de Scaccario, and that Hoveden, who, following in his footsteps, transcribed the same docu¬ ments, perhaps independently, and continuing his work from the year 1192, noticed the last of these documents on his own account, was also qualified by his official position to obtain access to Exchequer records. 3 The original of one of the above instruments which still survives enables us to ascertain that the historian’s version bears traces of a derivation from another source. What this source may have been the re¬ markable reference made by a slightly later writer will perhaps enable us to surmise. The reference in question is that previously alluded to of Matthew Paris to the “rolls” or “custumal” of the Exchequer, wherein a certain document of the reign of Richard I. is stated to have been entered, which no longer exists in the Red Book or in any other Exchequer MS. 4 Here we are fortunately no longer dependent on a comparison of handwriting or a reconstruction of the 1 Ibid., II. 102. 2 Hov., III. 268. 3 Iu the fine MS. of this his¬ torian’s work, preserved in the Inner Temple, reference is made to a Liber Curiali *, which, if it he not actually one of the lost portions of the Tricohiinnus, may have been a similar semi-official Register of Precedents.

We know from the historian’s own words that he was in the habit of questioning the Exchequer clerks about matters of state, 1 that he had access to Exchequer records and knew their value, 2 and that he was acquainted personally with Alexander de Swereford, whose capabilities as an historical col¬ lector he highly valued. 3 Finally we have two distinct references to Swereford’s work which prove that he was in possession of such a Register as, we shall pre¬ sently see, was probably begun by him early in the remn of John, and added to from time to time down to bis very death, a Register of which the contents of the two famous Exchequer MSS. and the historical documents noticed in Benedict and Hoveden, and Matthew Paris alike, are but partial and in many respects disappointing survivals. 4 It is possible therefore that the Court historians of the latter part of the twelfth century were indebted to this lost work, or to a kindred Register for other docu¬ ments than those which are still preserved in the Red and Black Books of the Exchequer. For instance, Hoveden and the author of an Itinerary of Richard I. notice the 1 “ Sicut [audivimus] a fide dig- “ nis clericis conclavis qui super “ hoc rotulos revolverant et sum- “ mas diligenter computaverant.” Chron Major, v. 627.

XXXI convention made in the year 1194 for the entertainment ( corredium ) of the Scotch King at a fixed tariff during his visits to England, 1 and the language of this in¬ strument proclaims its official origin in connection with the Constitutio Domus Regis of the Exchequer Registers. This document would almost certainly have been entered as a Precedent, and here by a strange chance the original still exists 2 to prove that the historians derived their texts from some other copy. The circum¬ stantial evidence of the Scotch Documents receives an important confirmation from the proceedings during the assertion of the English Supremacy in 1291-92. On this occasion returns were received by the Crown from numerous English monasteries, in the shape of extracts from the Chronicles in their possession bearing on the question at issue. In only two instances, how¬ ever, were authentic texts forthcoming of any of the instruments above referred to, the Convention of 1175 having been preserved in the Chronicles of Bridlington and Croyland, to which houses it had probably been communicated during the King’s progress from York. In both cases the transcript produced was ignored by the Commissioners, who had the Exchequer Register, or even the originals themselves, in view as evidence for this part of their case, although they gladly availed themselves of such documentary evidence as does not now, and probably did not then, exist in the Red Book. 3 For the first quarter or more of the thirteenth cen- Exchequer tury, there is the same gap in the series of historical Re S lsters J _ < 1 not always documents which might be derived from an Exchequer available to source as existed between the years 1141 and 1170. hlstorians - Several historical memoranda of great interest are 1 Hoveden, III. 24.3, Itinerarium Regis Ricardi, quoted in Scotch Poets., p. 106. 5 Palgrave, Scotch Docts., No. xxviij.

XXX11 PREFACE. known to us only from the transcripts preserved in the Red Book, or from the originals in the few cases in which they have survived. Once more we must suppose that Wendover and Walter of Coventry had no facilities of access to this class of documents. 1 With the appearance of Matthew Paris upon the scene in his own person as a courtier, traveller, and privileged historiographer, a great change is witnessed. Between the years 1236 and 1253, there are no less than twenty-three documents, mostly of the greatest historical importance, entered in the Red Book as possessing more or less of fiscal interest, and of these, all but one re-appear in the historian’s text. In one instance, indeed, the latter has improved upon the Exchequer version. The reference given by Matthew Paris to the Exchequer custumal for a further description of Queen Eleanor’s coronation has already been alluded to; but conversely, while the Exchequer scribe was unable to attend the ceremony of the royal mar¬ riage at York in the winter of 1251 (and so has given a very brief memorandum of the event), the historian, who was evidently an eye-witness of the scene, gives a very detailed narrative. Again, the Exchequer Register has an authoritative version of the Sententia lata of 1253, which the historian has evidently copied just as he noticed the Exchequer memorandum in the case of Eudes Rigaud, and as he would assuredly have noticed the proceedings in the case of the Bishop of Hereford in 1227, had this latter episode fallen within the period of his own observation. Indeed, nothing proves more strongly the existence of a sharp line of demarkation between the period of 1 The learned editors of Mon.

These are the first two letters in the long correspondence connected with the quarrel of the Emperor Frederick II. with the Pope entered in the Red Book and otherwise most carefully transcribed by the historian. These two letters, of course, should have been used by Wendover, together with the other docu¬ ments omitted between 1202 and 1236, hut as Wendover had not made use of them, his successor could not or would not correct the omission. It may, perhaps, be objected to the foregoing con¬ clusion, that there is no proof that the scribe of the Red Book did not derive these State Papers from the history itself. There is, indeed, no proof to the con¬ trary, but still an inherent improbability. 1 We have alreadv seen from Matthew Paris’ own statement, that •> ' he derived a certain portion of his documentary evidence from an Exchequer Register, which is not the existing Red Book.

Exclusi^ The evidence which points to the existence of a Records by systematic arrangement of the royal archives by the the later Exchequer officials early in the reign of Henry II., is confirmed by the instances, above mentioned, of the habitual access to originals or enrolments of historical documents preserved here by successive historians, while the undoubted fact of the immediate and ex¬ clusive possession of the most important public and diplomatic documents by the department from the close of the thirteenth century onwards, may be held to confirm the practice of an antecedent period. It is scarcely reasonable to suppose that when, in July 1291, a few months only after the date of the occurrence, in accordance with the King’s mandate that the record of the proceedings touching the supremacy question before referred to, should be transmitted to the Prior of Lewes for entry in the Chronicle of that house “ ad perpetuam “ rei memoriam,” the record was forthwith despatched from the Exchequer, under writ of the Treasurer, that this was a premature or isolated practice. 1 Indeed, although a little known, and, perhaps, an unexpected fact, it was the King’s Treasury and not the Chancery that furnished the nucleus of the modern collection of State Papers; therefore, from the close of the thirteenth century, we should no longer expect to find the text of a certain class of public instruments entered in the Red Book in the pages of contemporary chroniclers, who no longer had access to these jealously guarded archives, and this, in fact, does prove to be the case. 2 1 See also the like entry of these proceedings in the Register of Rievaulx (MSS. Inner Temple, No. 508.) 2 The collection of Exchequer documents contained in the Cotton MS., Cleo. A. xvi., is one of a few possible exceptions; but this at least appears to have been origi¬ nally an official compilation, Henceforth the Exchequer Register was transcribed for official uses until it once more became available as a mine of information to the antiquaries of the sixteenth century. PREFACE. XXXV IV. About the time when Richard Fitz-Nigel, the King’s Hife of Treasurer, was engaged upon his famous treatise, there was born a statesman and a scholar who was destined ford, to do more than any other man has done for the preserva¬ tion of the mysteries of Exchequer practice. Alexander de Swereford is known to have flourished during the whole of the reign of John and the first thirty years of Henry III. We have no certain information re¬ specting his birth and parentage, but as he certainly died in the year 1246, still executing several important offices, we may reasonably suppose his age to have been under 70 years. We know, still further, that he was employed in important clerical work at the Exchequer early in the reign of John, and we must suppose that he was at least 20 years of age at that sovereign’s accession. Perhaps, therefore, we may conjecturally assign the year 1177, or thereabouts, as the date of his birth. Alexander de Swereford was almost certainly a West-countryman, and two counties may be considered as having a claim to the honour of his birth-place. The surname of Swereford is said to be derived from the parish of that name, about six miles distant from Chipping Norton, in Oxfordshire. Here he His con- may well have been born, since at this date such local “^ 10n cognomina were not meaningless, and the name still sur- Oseney vived in the neighbourhood in the reign of Edward I. 1 The rich monastery of Oseney had large possessions in these parts, and possibly young Alexander may have been indebted to the good Canons for his education, returning 1 Botuli Hundredorum , II. 726. d 2 XXXVl PREFACE. later to his native village to assume his first cure as vicar, and afterwards as rector, on the presentation of the Abbey. 1 Swereford’s connexion with Oseney appears, at one period of his life, to have been a close one, and we find him executing a deed of assignment to the Abbey of the tithes which he held at Chesterton. 2 The church of Swereford, in the diocese of Lincoln, archdeaconry of Oxford, and deanery of Norton, was returned for Pope Nicholas’ taxation as worth 61. 13s. 4 d. yearly. It appears from the Oseney Cartulary that this church had corne recently into the possession of the Abbey by the bequest of John Gray, Bishop of Norwich, for the maintenance of the canons to pray for his soul, and for all the religious dead; this bequest being confirmed by charter of Henry de Oylli, who had granted the same to the Bishop, and whose family were notable benefactors of the Church of St. Mary of Oseney. 3 Now, as the Bishop died in 1214, Alexander de Swereford could not have been presented before this date. He did not live to take part in the great lawsuit of the Abbey about this donation in 1259, or even in the similar case of the lands of Wanborough in 1250, in which his old colleagues at the Exchequer assisted the King and Council. It is very likely, however, that he was able to render the Abbey good service in the several law¬ suits which arose during his term of office as Baron of the Exchequer. 4 1 Cotton MSS., Vitell. E. xv., the Oseney Cartulary which was un¬ fortunately mutilated by the Ash- burnham House fire. The Annals printed in the Annales Monastici (Rolls Series), from the Cotton MS., Tit.

PREFACE. xxxvii On the other hand there are indications of another or with close connection with the city of Gloucester. In the Glouccster ’ cartulary of the monastery of St. Peter tl.ere is men¬ tion of an Emma de Swereford, who granted two shillings rent “ in vico fabrorum ” to the Abbey of Tewkesbury. 1 This Emma was possibly his mother, for in a case before the King’s Court, Alexander son of Emma impleads Matilda de Brom for lands in Glou¬ cestershire. 2 We also learn that Swereford resigned his prebend at Lichfield in favour of his nephew, Simon of Gloucester, in October 1234, while in the deed of assignment above referred to, he styles himself “ cle- “ votus clericus ” of St. Peter’s Church. Therefore he may have been born and educated at and with Gloucester, or more probably still born at Gloucester, and Shl ° 1,shue educated, or at least professed at Oseney, and this theory harmonizes with his diplomatic employment in the Marches, and with his preferment to the Arch¬ deaconry of Salop. Moreover in 1222 he was appointed to administer the estate of Robert of Gloucester, some time Dean of Chichester, and a debtor of the Crown, whose will was proved in the Diocese of Worcester. 3 Such indications as can be gathered from the phonetic forms of the text of the Red Book point to a south-country extraction, but we cannot sup¬ pose that Swereford or his scribe was responsible for the existing form of English fragments in this Register. 4 It is a curious fact, however, that Alexander, Archdeacon of Salisbury, the reputed compiler of the Expositio Vocabulorum, in this work was, as Bishop of Lincoln, also closely con¬ nected with Oseney, and this connection may have led to the confusion which has prevailed as to the 1 Cart.

In his preface to the collection of Scutages, Swereford states that he was constantly engaged at the Exchequer, under William of Ely, the King’s Treasurer, and ap¬ parently in the capacity of his clerk. 3 At first, how¬ ever, we may suppose that his official duties were of a laborious and even menial nature. It would appear that he was originally in the service of one of the Chamberlains, for in the first year of John, the Sene¬ schal of Normandy, received from the King’s treasury of England 200 marks by the hands of Elyas, Ser¬ jeant of the Treasury, Alexander, clerk of John de Wika, and Robert, son of Terric, Serjeant of Robert Malduit. 4 In the second year, William of Ely was ordered to forward to the King at Gloucester 200Z., which was received by the hands of Alexander the 1 Q.

XXXIX clerk and two others. 1 Possibly Swereford (if he may be identified with this Alexander) was sent on this mission owing to his knowledge of the country, but he seems to have been otherwise employed during the next few years in “conducting” drafts of treasure from Westminster or Winchester to Normandy for the service of the French War. In the 2nd year he was again sent with treasure to Normandy, and the bailiff of Barbeflet was commanded to provide for the passage of himself and companions. 2 In the 4th year he twice made the passage by the same route, being described in one roll as Alexander the clerk, and in the other as Alexander the clerk of Winchester, a curious instance of the long-continued association of the Treasury with the old Saxon and Norman capital. 3 In the next year, however, on the occasion of his last recorded mission, he is described as “ Alexander cleri- “ cus Thesaurarii Londonise.” 4 It was during this long period of subordinate service in the Receipt of the Exchequer, which must have extended over more than thirty years, 5 that Swere¬ ford obtained that extensive knowledge of the Records of the Court, which he turned to such good account in his compilation. If the character of the hand-writing and internal evidence justify us in assigning the authorship of the small Black Book of the Exchequer to Swereford, and the date to the first decade of the thirteenth century respectively, and if we can admit the theory which will be presently submitted in respect of the identi¬ fication of the author’s hand-writing with certain portions of the Red Book, then we can point to many 1 Liberate, 1 John, m. 2. 2 Rot.

As the King’s clerk. existing specimens of his official handiwork, and par¬ ticularly to certain portions of the earliest surviving Memoranda Rolls. 1 These last, however, as indicated by the treatise of Richard Fitz-Nigel, 2 seem to Lave been more or less informal notes of current business— being in fact, as they are headed and indorsed, “ Ex- “ tracta de Memorandis,” or “ Memorialia,” betraying this informality in one case by the cynical motto, indited in a fair official hand—“ Alter alterius /tonera “ portate, et sic adimplebitis legem Scaccarii In the year 1216 Swereford seems to have been acting as chaplain to the Bishop of Coventry, and he obtained leave in this year to go abroad to meet his patron. 3 In the next reign, however, he obtained more active and important employment, being des¬ patched in May of the 5th year of Henry III. on a diplomatic mission to Lewelyn, Prince of North Wales. 4 In the year 1227 he was present at the Council held at Westminster, in the chapel of St. John, to decide the dispute between the Bishop of Hereford and the citizens of that town whom the Bishop had excommunicated for assessing a common tallage upon his canons. The case is reported in the famous auto¬ graph note entered in the Red Book amongst the Precedents for clerkly privileges, in which the writer describes himself as Alexander, Archdeacon of Salop, then the King’s clerk. 5 Swereford must have been presented to the Archdeaconry near the beginning of the reign, since he appears in the 5th year with that title as witness to a charter, 6 being already rector of Swereford. In the 12th year of this reign the Archdeacon was sent on the King’s business to 1 L. T. R. Misc. Rolls, Bdle. 5. 1 Dialogus , II. 2. 3 Hardy, Catalogue, III. 107. It was doubtless through this connec¬ tion that he was presented to the prebend of Lichfield before referred to. 4 Close Roll, 5 Hen.

In the year 1236 he was granted full and free administra¬ tion of that tower in the wall of the city of London, which is next to Ludgate, towards the North, and he was to erect a building there. 8 This concession was perhaps connected with several deeds of the period relating to tenements between Ludgate and Fleet Bridge. 9 The Register known as the Liber 1 Liberate, 12 Hen.

It appears however from this entry that his companion was Chancellor of St. Paul’s; this subsequent trans¬ action may therefore possibly refer to a second mission in or before 1230. 3 His name appears in several deeds as a witness with other offi¬ cials of the church from the year 1220 onwards.

Pilosus of St. Paul’s makes frequent mention of his name during this period as “ Magister Alexander de “ Suereford,” or as “ Alexander Thesaurarius,” or “ Archidiaconus Salopisbirise,” for the most part as a wit¬ ness in his official capacity of several deeds executed by or in favour of the Church, and also, as will be pre¬ sently seen, in connection with his own private affairs and benefactions. During the first twenty years of the reign of Henry III. Swereford certainly enjoyed a consider¬ able share of the royal favour, as evidenced by several grants made to him during this period. We have no knowledge of his regular occupation, but unless the gap that exists in the Red Book between the years 1212 and 1230 is accidental, we may suppose that he was more frequently to be found about the Court than at the Exchequer, though still nominally resident there. In the 12th year he received a grant of 20 marks annually to maintain himself in the King’s service until he should be otherwise provided for. 1 In the 15th year he was allowed for fuel, ten oaks in Windsor Forest, which were intended, doubtless, to be brought by water to London, 2 and following this, in the 16th year, he obtained a grant of the custody of the county of Berks during pleasure. 3 In the 19th year he was allowed to purchase three casks of wine out of the ship of Walter le Fleming at London, after the King had taken his prise-wines therefrom. 4 In the 16th year we find Swereford again employed in a diplomatic mis¬ sion to Wales, or rather to the Marches, in order to settle certain border disputes, with the assistance of the King’s officers in those parts. 5 In the 18th year he received a commission as one of the King’s Justices ’ Pat.

Exchequer, 2 and on the 21st of October 1234, he received a grant of 40 marks yearly until the King should otherwise provide for him. 3 On the 21st November 1234, the Treasurer and Chamber¬ lains were commanded to pay 40 marks yearly to him as long as he should sit at the King’s Exchequer. 4 5 By the same patent John the Frenchman and John Haunsel were also appointed Barons, but with salaries of 30 marks only. At the Exchequer Swereford was essentially in his element, and the records of the Court during the next twelve year bear ample witness of his legal in¬ dustry. 3 In his new office he was able to smooth the course of justice for more than one old friend or colleague. On the 7th October 1234, he tested a writ to Some cases compel a fraudulent collector to appear and acquit } ie was * the Abbot of Oseney of monies levied from his lands. 6 engaged.

It appears from his complaint that he held one knight’s fee in Bedfordshire, concerning the possession of which a plea depended in the King’s Court between Hubert Earl of Kent and William de Beauchamp.

PREFACE, xlv the occasion of the levy of a scutage for the Gascon war of the previous year, the earl distrained Swereford as tenant to recover the scutage to which the lord of the fee was entitled by virtue of the King’s writ. Swereford, however, relied on the terms of the grant of this scutage “ per commune consilium Regni,” namely, that it should be collected by the Sheriff and not otherwise, and a writ was accordingly addressed, being attested by the prudent archdeacon himself, to the Sheriff of Bedfordshire, enjoining him to restore the chattels seized by the Earl, and not to allow the scutage to be collected by any other than himself. 1 At some date between 1220 and 1230 we find Swere- He enjoys ford recorded as the tenant with W. cle Ralegh, of a tinned*' knight’s fee in Bix, Oxfordshire, held of the Countess favour of of Oxford. 2 To the last he was a recipient of the royal tlK Cl0 ' VUl bounty, for in 1243 the King granted him the reversion of any living in his gift that should be worth 100 marks, 3 and in the next year he was pardoned for certain fines which he had not accounted for. 4 He also obtained the grant of a certain deodand in Shropshire, namely, the horse from which Stephen de Staunton fell and was killed, the coroners being ordered to dis- train the widow to deliver possession of the same. 5 He was also still occasionally employed by the Crown in business of State. Thus he was one of the Commis¬ sioners appointed in 1245 for the delicate task of taking and imprisoning certain workmen of the Mint, if they thought it ought to be done—the Sheriffs of London and the Constable of the Tower having taken and imprisoned the same contrary to the liberties of the King’s Mint. 6 1 Q.

Swere- ford’s private estates and bene¬ factions. There is one more side of Swereford’s life which demands our attention. It has been already noticed that while his earlier territorial interests were connected with the West, those of his later years, owing to his connec¬ tion with St. Paul’s and a certain Exchequer clique, had shifted to the Eastern Counties. Here he seems to have become possessed of considerable private property in Hertfordshire and Essex. He is stated in a con¬ temporary chronicle to have granted “ whatever he “ possessed at Tewin ” to the Canons of St. Bartholomew, London, and this was apparently sufficient for the endowment of four canons to celebrate divine service for his soul in their church. 1 It appears, however, that the Prior and Canons surrendered the same, which comprised lands in Tewin and the advowson of the church there, before his death. 2 In the Liber Pilosus of St. Paul’s several folios are devoted to a particular record of certain deeds and legal proceedings connected with the acquisition by Swereford of certain lands in Fobbing with a special heading and a memorandum, “ Nota pro cantaria Alexandri Swerford, “ Thesaurarii.” This entry records the several proceedings in two conveyances, one of 43s. rent from a marsh in Fobbing, and the other of 3 marcates in the manor of Talworth, Surrey. 3 In these proceedings, which extended from the 19th to the 28th years of the reign, Swereford was represented by his colleague William de Haverhulle as his attorney, while Hugh de Pateshulle, the King’s Treasurer, repaid an earlier obligation by testing the writs in his favour. Swereford’s name also appears as witness in a charter, which was probably executed after Midsummer 1246, being a grant of the manor and advowson of Melbury 1 Aiinal. Dunstapl.

We have good reasons for believing that he literally died in harness. His last appearance as a Baron of the Exchequer was on the 14th July 1246. 3 He therefore sat throughout Trinity Term, but sickened probably during the long vacation and died soon after the commence- ment of the Michaelmas sittings, 4 or according to several independent authorities, between Michaelmas and Christmas, and probably on St. Frideswide’s Day, 19 October 1246. 5 He was buried before the altar of St. Chad, in the Church of St. Paul’s, which he had built himself and endowed with a chantry of one priest to celebrate daily for his soul, and for the souls of his successors in office, and all the faith¬ ful dead. 6 The account given in the St. Paul’s Register 1 Ancient Deeds, A. 218. 2 Ancient Deeds, A. 734.

The above sketch is a mere outline of the materials which may exist for the life of a typical Exchequer official of the thirteenth century, whose personality has been invested with a peculiar importance through his connection with a famous historical record, and whose reputation has been enhanced by the repeated testimony of many distinguished scholars. 1 But as the facts connected with his official life have hitherto been involved in much obscurity, so it still remains to be seen what was his exact share in the compila¬ tion of the Red Book of the Exchequer. y. The Red Book of the Exchequer is a very thick Descrip- quarto, 13| inches in length by 9^ inches wide, and Exchequer inches deep, weighing 9f pounds. It is distinguished, MS - like other Registers of the Queen’s Remembrancer’s Department, by the over-hanging flaps of the soft leather binding with which the older binding was covered, according to tradition, in the reign of Elizabeth, being secured at the sides with brass studs. The origi¬ nal boards, bound in faded red leather, may still be seen beneath this ample covering, and these may be sup¬ posed to bear date not later than the reign of Edward III., when the volume is believed to have been thoroughly repaired. 2 The parchment folios are 345 in number, of which 25 are fly-leaves at the beginning and end of the book, and most of them are yellow and highly polished through exposure and constant use.

The Har¬ grave MS. the MS. is written in double columns in a hand of the second quarter of the thirteenth century, and is finely rubricated. The later additions, from the middle of the thirteenth century onwards, are written for the most part on the whole width of the folios, and are not rubricated. The MS. volume, 1 catalogued as No. 313 of the Hargrave Collection in the British Museum, is a folio bound in black leather, containing a transcript of the earlier portion of the Bed Book of the Exchequer, with certain Exchequer matter bound in with it. A comparison of the two MSS. gives us the following results:— The whole of the earlier portion of the Red Book, beginning at fo. 16 with the “ Laws of Henry I.” and ending at fo. 233d. with the “ Roll of Robert Mantel ” (with the exception of the “ Scutages ” and certain miscellaneous Returns and Precedents entered on fo. 231 d. et seq., which the scribe probably found a diffi¬ culty iu reading, and for which he left space), is tran¬ scribed here in a hand of the middle of the thirteenth century. The “ Scutages-” have not been transcribed, or more probably the transcript has been lost, its place being- supplied by a transcript in a clerical hand of the end of Henry III.’s reign, without the Preface and on different parchment. A quaternion of the transcript of the Barons’ Cer¬ tificates is also missing, namely, for the whole of Shropshire (except the first part of Fitz-Alan’s fief) and for the whole of Herefordshire (except the last two charters and part of Richard de Candos’s fief). With these exceptions, the MS. apparently com¬ prises every entry in the Red Book of the Exchequer Neues Archiv der Gesell.se/iaft, x. 594, 1 This MS. was described some years ago by Dr. Liebermann in PREFACE. Ii down to the year 1251, but none that were made in and subsequent to the year 1253. Thus the Sententia lata appended to the confirmation of Magna Carta in May 1253, is omitted, as likewise is Grosseteste’s letter to the Pope in the same year. 1 The whole of this transcript is in a hand which somewhat resembles that of the earlier portion of the Red Book. It may be regarded as a copy made, not from the Red Book itself, but probably from the same exemplar, and, unlike the Exchequer MS., completed at one time, the several entries being made without any break, and the rubrication and the distinction of the paragraphs being very care¬ lessly and often unintelligently executed. 2 The above brief analysis of the Hargrave MS. will perhaps serve sufficiently to indicate its probable origin and present value, and as a careful examina¬ tion failed to disclose any readings or variations of interest, but rather an aggravation of the worst errors of the Exchequer MS., it has not been thought de¬ sirable to collate this MS. with the Red Book, except for the purpose of restoring certain defaced or missing passages in the latter, or of identifying certain doubtful readings. Next in importance to the Hargrave MS. is the Cotton MS., Cleo. A. xvi., which seems to have been either a transcript from the Exchequer MS. or an independent compilation of Exchequer Precedents. It contains parallel MSS. of the Dialogus and of the Treatise on the Mint at fo. 259 d. of the MS.

D. ii.), with that appended to the Preface of this volume, will show that if not derived from a common source as far as the historical documents are concerned, they were at least compiled on the same plan. Some further account of the MS. origins of the Liber Custumarum will be given in the Preface to Part III. Later transcripts of the Red Book of the Exchequer, more or less complete, abound in various Manuscript Collections of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the best known being the Cotton MS., Claudius C. iv., a r d an Elizabethan transcript in the Public Record Office. None of these transcripts requires any special description. A considerable portion of the contents of the Red Book of the Exchequer is preserved in a still earlier MS., known as the Small Black Book of the Ex¬ chequer. This is a small folio, the ancient black leather binding of which is now protected, as above mentioned, by a modern red leather cover. The charac¬ ter of the hand, which is the same throughout the volume, and internal evidence, assign the date of its compilation to the reign of John. 1 The greater part of its contents consists of a text of the “ Barons’ Certificates,” which is in substance identical with the Red Book text, and which must be regarded as the earliest existing, if not the original text, of a compilation which, by his own statement, was the work of Alexander de Swereford. The remaining documents included in both volumes are the “ Constitutio Domus Regis,” the “ Conventions with Flanders,” the “Treaty of Westminster,” 1153, and a copy of the “ Boulogne Inquisition,” entered in the Red Book under the 13th year of John. 1 Older antiquaries ascribed it, j Templars’ lands, c. 1185, to the like the very similar Register of ! reign of Henry II. PREFACE. liii The obvious theory thal the MS. of the Baron’s Certi¬ ficates in the Red Book is merely a transcript of the MS. known as the Small Black Book of the Exchequer includes the following propositions:— 1. That the Red Book scribe was a very faithful and consistent copyist of the the MSS. set before him. 2. That many instances occur in which the scribe has imitated letters or words, and has repeated blanks and other omissions in his exemplar. 3. That he has incorporated in his text many passages that were evidently later additions in the exemplar, regardless of the consequent anachronisms. 4. That this faithful method of transcription, ex¬ tending even to the imitation of letters and words, and the incorporation of later and anachronistic additions, applies in the fullest sense to this text of the Carton. The correctness of the first of these propositions can easily be ascertained by a general examination of this portion of the MS. The application of this and the remaining propositions to the present case can best be judged by the following instances. More than two hundred such instances have been collected, but it will perhaps be sufficient to enumerate only a few in order to economize a very limited space. It is a peculiarity of the Black Book MS., that the scribe’s “ F ” at times exactly resembles an “ R.” Simi¬ larly, it may easily be mistaken for a “ K.” Now the scribe of the Red Book writes Raveirches for Faveir- ches, 1 and R. de Lisuris for F[ulcu] de Lisuris. 2 He even writes Robertus for Folbertus .' 3 The “ D ” of the Black Book is remarkably like an “ A.” The 1 P. 306. 2 P. 333.

Archbishop of Canterbury’s knights. 1 Moreover, the treatment of the rubrics and the distinction of paragraphs in the Red Book, afford evidence of an independent construction, quite inconsistent with the previous esti¬ mate of the method of the scribe, so that we must suppose either that the marked resemblance between the two MSS. is purely accidental, or that there exists some other and hitherto unsuspected relationship between them. This latter theory is so startling, and affects the whole question of the composition of the Red Book of the Exchequer and kindred Registers so intimately, that it will be necessary to consider its development at some length. The theory in question may be stated briefly as follows : that the text of the Baron’s Charters in the Red Book was transcribed, not from the Black Book text, but from another MS. by the same hand, written at a later date, and embodying the later addi¬ tions posted in the original. It is almost certain that the Black Book MS. was written during the early part of the reign of John. The hand is distinctly a official one of that period, and we have the following proofs that it was compiled about the seventh year of the reign :—In the first place, the several political charters which immediately follow the Baron’s Certificates, can all be dated before the year 1206, and these are followed, after an interval of space, by a few later documents, such as the Proclamation concerning William de Braose, which can be dated 1210. This, and especially the manucaption which follows at fo. 84, has every appearance of being a contemporary entry. Then with another slight break, and in a still later hand, follows the text of the Bologne Inquisition, apparently transcribed in 1211. In the next place we have the following remarkable evidence from the Baron’s Cer¬ tificates themselves :—In the charter of William son of 1 P. 198. PREFACE. lvii Richard, an entry occurs, as a later addition, to the effect that William Briwerre holds Chesterfield by the service of one knight. 1 The grant of Chesterfield was made in the sixth year of John, and therefore it follows that the MS. in which this addition was made was written in or before that year. 2 In another addition, at the end of the Bishop of Durham’s charter, Richard de Scalis is mentioned as holding lands in Husseberne, which he obtained not later than the year 1207. 3 In the last entry of the Charters, Theobald son of Walter is given as tenant. 4 He tvas alive in 1205, 5 but was dead apparently in 1207;° therefore, as this entry is a later addition, the date should be between these years. The next circumstance that attracts our attention is, that the additions to this MS. seem to have been marie, for the most part, between the years 1206 and 1212. For example:—Baldwin de Betun, Earl of Albemarle, is mentioned as the tenant of Liston, co. Bucks; he died in 1212. Nov/ the scribe of the Red Book is not content with merely copying this and other later additions as they stand, but varies them by allusions which, it is insisted, could only have been made by a contemporary. For example:—The Earl of Albemarle here referred to obtained that title by his marriage with Hawisia, the heiress of William le Gros. He died in 1212, and his wife and her son successively enjoyed the title; but there was a possible claimant in the person of Ranulf de Fston, who derived from a sister of the countess, and whose descendant formally advanced his claim to the Earldom in the reign of Edward I. 7 This Ranulf seems to have lived in the reigns of 1 P. 344. 2 Rot.

Richard I. and John, 1 and it is a curious fact that the scribe of the Red Book on more than one occasion pointedly omits the name of Baldwin, and once actually substitutes that of Ranulf. 2 How, it may be asked, is it possible that a scribe who wrote in 1230 should have been aware of a claim which may have been discussed in 1212, but which certainly had no justi¬ fication during the next sixty years ? Again, the scribe of the Red Book, in the Charter of the Bishop of Chichester, gives that prelate’s name as Nicholas. 3 The Black Book, following the original Charter (one of the two that still survive), correctly writes Hilarius. It is scarcely conceivable that a scribe, writing in the year 1230, in which the Pre¬ face to the Scutages is dated, so mechanical and so ignorant of the ordinary chronology of the reign of John, should have remembered the story of Nicholas de Aquila and his wrongs. It was at some date between the years 1208 and 1213, that this worthy Dean of Chichester is alleged to have been elected as Simon de Wells’ successor, 4 and therefore it is only possible to suppose that the scribe who wrote this name, gave, by a common clerical error, that of the contempo¬ rary bishop-elect instead of that of the prelate of 1166. If, therefore, we could suppose, in the first place, that another MS. of the Barons’ Charters was written at the close of the reign of John ; and secondly, that it suffici¬ ently resembled the earlier text to account for the simi¬ larities and palpable imitations which have been noticed above, we might readily believe that this MS., and not 1 Plac.

PREFACE. lix the existing Black Book, was the exemplar used by the scribe of the Red Book about the year 1230. 1 The main part of the earlier portion of the Red Book is in two different hands; both these have been generally ascribed to Swereford himself, chiefly on the ground of a supposed autograph notice in each. One of these occurs in the Preface to the Scutages, which are written in the same hand as the Charters, Inquisitions, and other portions of the Feodary. 2 The second reference occurs in a note indorsed upon the Dialogus in the same hand as the Abstracts of the Sheriffs’ Accounts, and the curious synopsis of the Scutages and Charters 3 ; and here, too, another allusion to an earlier compilation by Swereford is found. In the first place, Swere- however, it should be observed, that if the notice in supposed the Scutages be an original one, that contained in the autograph outside leaf of the Dialogus is not in the same hand. Moreover, there is nothing to show that it was worded by Swereford himself, and the expression “ tunc clericus Regis,” rather tends to show that it was written by another hand. This view is confirmed by a third notice in the Synopsis in the same hand as the last, to the effect that a certain total, which could not be 1 It may be of interest to mention that Mr. J. H. Round arrived at a very similar conclusion after a simultaneous and wholly indepen¬ dent examination of the two texts. His opinion, which he kindly com¬ municated to the present editor, is supported with much learning, and maybe summarised as follows: — That the MS. from which the ex¬ isting Red Book was derived was also the exemplar of the Black Book text of the Cartes ; that it was in the form of a roll without rubrics or distinctions of para¬ graphs ; and that the two scribes treated it each according to his own judgment and knowledge, a fact which will account for the remark¬ able variations which are evident in the rubrics and paragraphs. It will he observed, however, that this conclusion affects only the texts of these Barons’ Charters, and not the view of the Red Book at large, as a transcript from an earlier Ex¬ chequer Register, which has been advanced here. 2 Fo. 47, and p. 3 of this edition. 3 Fo. 46 d.

This exemplar was not the Pipe Roll itself, which agrees with the Synopsis in every particular, neither was it the Red Book text of the Scutages, in which the figures indeed are as usual erroneous, but do not make 84, but 72; therefore it is obvious that some other compilation of Alexander the A rchdeacon is here referred to which no longer exists. 1 2 The Synopsis affords further evidence in support of this view from the general character of the text, which differs in many important particulars from that of the earlier portion of the MS. 3 Thus we find under this same county, Cornwall, a note respecting the Knights’ Fees of Reginald de Valle Torta and others under the 1 Fo. 230. 2 With this should be compared the passage at fo. 144 of the MS. Willelmus filius Martini, v milites et dimidium ; et secundum Librum x milites et dimidium. This refer¬ ence, however, is not to any earlier list in the MS., where the tenant figures in the Synopsis and Scutages with the lower assessment. Here again, therefore, a lost Register (which was apparently used as an exemplar) is referred to, for “ Liber ” in this sense meant a Register, as the well known entries “ in Libro ” for the Testa de Nevill prove. 3 For instance, the entries re¬ specting the fees of Richard de Reimes and William de Reimes (Essex, 14 Hen. II.), where the Synopsis states correctly the facts which are totally misrepresented or omitted in the Red Book text of the Charters and Scutages. PREFACE. lxi marginal heading “ Secundum Cartas,” as follows :— “ Reginaldns de Valle Torta lj milites secundum quod “ Lucas filius Bernavdi seneschallus ejus mandavit per “ litteras Baronibus de Scaccario in anno vj Regis “ Ricardi, et habet Marescallus litteras illas.” Similar entries follow for Robert de Cardinan and Geoffrey de Lacellis, but none of this information is to be found either in the Feodary or in the Pipe Roll; and we are left to suppose that it was derived from a lost Register of which the Synopsis was an independent abridgement, and the Scutages and Baron’s Charters very concise and rather inaccurate copies. Finally, we have the evidence afforded by the obvious reproduction in the Hargrave MS. of the peculiarities of this lost exemplar, for although this transcript very closely resembles the texts of both the existing Ex¬ chequer MSS., a careful comparison will show that it was not copied directly from either. 1 It remains to be seen how far the earlier portion of Date of the the Red Book may be regarded as a transcript made about the year 1 230. In the first place, it is evident that the several articles or treatises in this portion of the work were originally written and bound up as distinct vo^mes. The text of the Leges Henrici Primi, if it is not in a different hand, was not written at the same date as the Charters and Scutages The same remarks apply to the Dialogus, the Scutages, Charters, Inquisi¬ tions, and Serjeanties. For example, the Dialogus was apparently copied before 1227, for a report of the pro¬ ceedings of the Council in that year is endorsed upon it in another but a contemporary hand, and the Charters also were probably written before 1230, as proved by the 1 In addition to the variations noted in certain tested passages, the Hargrave MS. contains four important documents of the first half of the 13th century which are not found in the Red Book at all, but which must apparently have existed in the exemplar, from which both MSS. were directly or indi¬ rectly derived. {See P. lj supra and Preface and Appendix to Part II.) lxii PREFACE. Conclusion suggested by this evidence. Coinci¬ dence of dates. later addition of the Northamptonshire fief of Walter de Preston, who died in or before 1230. 1 2 Each of these pieces formed, it is suggested, a distinct Rotulus or Libellus, the terms applied to them by Matthew Paris and by Swere- ford himself. 3 About the year 1230, these Libelli were probably bound together. At the same time the Preface to the Scutages was written on a blank folio preceding the text, and the Constitutio Domus Regis was also inserted on the blank folio at the end of the Leges , both these pieces having been written at one time and crowded into a given space. We may now advance to the following definite con¬ clusion, that in or about the year 1206, Swereford (then entering as we have seen upon a course of more respon¬ sible and purely clerical labour at the Exchequer, in the capacity of clerk to William of Ely) compiled the existing Black Book of the Exchequer from the original certificates in the manner described in his Preface to the Scutages. Between the years 1206 and 1212, he posted ” his volume from time to time with those notices of contemporary changes of tenure which have proved such a fruitful source of confusion and error, and in or about the latter year he commenced a new work on a greater scale, which was the custumal known to Matthew Paris, and the probable exemplar of the existing Red Book of the Exchequer. In the latter work we are at once struck with the circumstance that several of the principal collections were evidently compiled about the year 1212. This has been already referred to in the case of the Barons’ Charters, and it will be found that 1 Rot. Fin., 15 Hen. Ill,, m. 9. 2 See p. xxx. One more piece of evidence may be introduced here in proof of the assertion that the historical portions of the MS. do not represent Swereford’s ori¬ ginal or his finished work. The following note occurs in the Cotton MS., Nero D. I., of Mathew Paris’s History, “ Secundum assertionem “ magistri Alexandri de Suereford “ — Ilex OJf'a habuit sub sua di- “ tione in principio sua doniina- “ tionis tantum novem provincias “ quas Angli Sires appellant (Chron. Major., vi. 519 n.). We naturally turn to the list of English Shires in that portion of the MS. attributed to Swereford, but no such statement can be found there, PREFACE. the Inquisitions also conclude abruptly in that year, as do the Scutages. It is true that Swereford refers in his preface to the latter collection, as a work under¬ taken in the year 1230. As, however, there is no proof that this statement is in the author’s own hand, it might be possible that the current date, 1230, was given to this later edition of the "Register up to date after an interval of nearly twenty years. Unfortunately it would seem probable that we have Deficien- to deplore the loss of several important pieces of the existing 6 original work, for a close inspection of the MS. shows that MS. a considerable number of folios, and even some quater¬ nions, are missing. But apart from these losses, it is difficult to believe that Swereford’s original work should have stopped short in the year 1212, to be continued in a desultory fashion after the year 1230, and that the officbd experiences of the best years of his life should have remained wholly unrecorded, except by the report of the case in 1227 before referred to. 1 It is also sigmi- o ficant that this obvious void was partially, but very imperfectly, filled by a lacer scribe, writing apparently soon after his death. Moreover, we have seen that cer¬ tain documents were inspected by Matthew Paris during Swereford’s life in an Exchequer Register which can scarcely have been the existing Red Book, and it has also been seen that other documents were entered in the latter Resister before the middle of the reign of Edward III. which are no longer found there. We know further that in one case, and probably in others, the missing folios have been to some extent replaced by additions made on the ily-leaves and blank margins. These later additions, being from the end of the thir¬ teenth century of a purely official nature, were continued 1 It is highly probable that we have in the case of the miscellane¬ ous collections entered atfos. 184 d. -233 the remains of one of Swere¬ ford’s “ Parvi Rotuli ” or official Note-hooks, for, apart from external evidence, the date of compilation is fixed by the table of regnal years ending thus “ Johannes, xviij. annos et.” (See P. lxj supra and Preface and Appendix to Part II.)

Lastly, we know that between the reign of Henry VI. and that of Elizabeth still later additions were inserted on the fly leaves at the begin¬ ning and end of the book. O The plan of the present Edition will be easily gathered from an inspection of the following Table of Contents ; but it may be convenient at this point to make a short statement as to its actual scope. The work is divided into three Parts, in which the prefatory matter and the Text are both paged continuously throughout, and an Index and Glossary to the whole work will be found at the end of Part III. For a detailed explanation of the several methods employed in the preparation of this Edition, the Reader is referred to the conclusion of the Preface to Part III. With reference to the classifica¬ tion of this Register, 1 it will be found that the larger portion of the Feodary has been printed in Parts I. and II. of this Edition, whilst some pieces have been omitted from want of space, and also because the information supplied might possibly be obtained from other sources. At the same time the texts of early Laws, Charters, anti State Papers, with other historical matter entered in the original Register, have been omitted, most; of these having been already printed in the Foedera and other standard editions. 2 This dis¬ poses of all the “ original matter ” in the Register, namely, that distinguished by Mr. Hunter from the “ superinduced matter,” which was added on the fly¬ leaves at the beginning and end of the book, from the time of Edward I., and which has been printed, with some exceptions, such as the series of Ancient Deeds, in Part III. of this Edition for the first time. 1 P- vj. 2 A much needed revision of the existing texts will be a feature of the great work upon which Dr. Liehennann has been so long en¬ gaged.

Noverit excellentissima dignitas vestra ecclesiam nostram nullum militem feffatum 2 nec de veteri feffa- mento 3 nec de novo habere, sed servitia quae vobis ecclesia nostra debet, de dominio suo persolvit. Con¬ tigit tamen aliquando, ecclesia nostra vacante, R[oge- rum] Episcopum Saresbiriensem illam, ex mandato Regis Henrici avi vestri, in custodiam annis v suscepisse. Tunc praedictus Episcopus de quodam tenemento quod tenuit R[obevtus] de Monasteriis feodo censuali, scilicet de dua¬ bus hidis, unum feffavit 4 militem. De altero tenemento quod tenuit Willelmus filius Walteri feodo censuali, scilicet de duabas hidis et dimidia, alterum constituit militem. Postmodum vero bonae memoriae R. praedecessore meo constituto abbate, per Justitiam Regis Henrici et consilio praefati Episcopi R[ogeri], feoda praedicta ad antiquum statum revocata sunt. Et quos Episcopus constituit milites facti sunt censuarii, et sic tenuerunt tempore praedecessoris mei et adhuc tenent eorum haeredes, scilicet, Willelmus de Monasteriis et Willelmus Brito. 1 This and the preceding entry 3 fefamento, L.

Domino suo Henrico Anglorum Regi, Galfridus Ahbas de Abbodesbiria 3 devotas orationes in Christo. Quoniam ita imperastis, innotescimus vobis quod Abbatia de Abbodesbiria 4 nullum habuit militem anti¬ quitus feffatum. 5 Servitium j 6 militis debet Abbatia de dominio suo. Cum Rogerus Episcopus habuit custo¬ diam Abbatiae, duas hidas apud Atrum ad maritandam quandam neptem 7 suam dedit Nicbolao 8 de Meriet, con¬ tradicente Conventu ecclesiae. Hanc terram longo tempore tenuerunt vi ipsi et Hen- ricus filius eorum, et nullum servitium Ecclesiae inde 9 facere voluerunt. Ista terra antiquitus reddere solebat Gablum xx solidorum, sicut testatur vestrum regium scriptum. 10 Ego vero intelligens quod aliter non potui recuperare servitium istius terrae, concessi huic Henrico terram tenendam sibi et heredibus suis faciendo servi¬ tium dimidii militis. Et-hoc modo fellavimus 11 eum ut faceret servitium dimidii militis quod debebat Ecclesiae de dominio suo. Quidam autem Abbas, antecessor noster, feffavit 12 quendam militem Willelmum 13 nomine sicut testatur carta Regis 14 quam vobis mitto. Valete. 1 placet, L. N. 2 Galfridi omitted in L.

Price 10s. each Volume or Part.] On 25 July 1822, the House of Commons presented an address to the Ci’own, stating that the editions of the works of our ancient historians were inconvenient and defective; that many of their writings still remained in manuscript, and, in some cases, in a single copy only. They added, “that an uniform and convenient edition of the whole, published “ under His Majesty’s royal sanction, would be an undertaking honour- “ able to His Majesty’s reign, and conducive to the advancement of “ historical and constitutional knowledge; that the House therefore “ humbly besought His Majesty, that He would be graciously pleased to “ give such directions as His Majesty, in His wisdom, might think fit, “ for the publication of a complete edition of the ancient historians “ of this realm.” The Master of the Rolls, being very desirous that effect should be given to the resolution of the House of Commons, submitted to Her Majesty’s Treasury in 1857 a plan for the publication of the ancient chronicles and memorials of the United Kingdom, and it was adopted accordingly. Of the Chronicles and Memorials, the following volumes have been published. They embrace the period from the earliest time of British history down to the end of the reign of Henry VII. 1. The Chronicle of England, by John Capgrave. Edited by the Rev. F. C. Hingeston, M.A. 1858. Capgrave’s Chronicle extends from the creation of the world to the year 1417. As a record of the language spoken in Norfolk (being written in English), it is of considerable value. 2. Chronicon Monasterii de Abingdon. Vols. I. and II. Edited by the Rev. Joseph Stevenson, M.A., Vicar of Leighton Buzzard. 1858. This Chronicle traces the history of the monastery from its foundation by King Ina of Wessex, to the reign of Richard I. The author had access to the title deeds of the house, and incorporates into his history various charters of the Saxon kings, of great im¬ portance as illustrating not only the history of the locality but that of the kingdom. 3. Lives of Edward the Confessor, I.—La Estoire de Seint Aedward le Rei. II.—Vita Beati Edvardi Regis et Confessoris. III.—Vita iEduuardi Regis qui apud Westmonasterium requiescit. Edited by Henry Richards Luard, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge. 1858. The first is a poem in Norman French, probably written in 1245. The second is an anonymous poem, written between 1440 and 1450, which is mainly valuable as a specimen of the Latin poetry of the time. The third, also by an anonymous author, was apparently written between 1066 and 1074. 4. Monumenta Franciscana. Vol. I.—Thomas de Eccleston de Adventu Fratrum Minorum in Angliam. Ad® de Marisco Epistol®. Regis- trum Fratrum Minorum Londonise. Edited by J. S. Brewer, M.A., Professor of English Literature, King’s College, London. Vol. II.— De Adventu Minorum ; re-edited, with additions. Chronicle of the Grey Friars. The ancient English version of the Rule of St. Francis. Abbreviatio Statutorum, 1451, &c. Edited by Richard Howlett, Barrister-at-Law. 1858, 1882. The first volume contains original materials for the history of the settlement of the order of St. Francis in England, the letters of Adam de Marisco, and other papers. The second volume contains materials foimd since the first volume was published. 10 5. Fasciculi Zizaniorum Magistri Johannis Wyclif cum Tritico* Ascribed to Thomas Netter, of Walden, Provincial of the Carmelite Order in England, and Confessor to King Henry the Fifth. Edited by the Rev. \V. W. Shirley, M.A., Tutor and late Fellow of AVadham College, Oxford. 1858. This work gives the only contemporaneous account of the rise of the Lollards. 6. The Buik or the Croniclis of Scotland ; or, A Metrical Version of the History of Hector Boece; by William Stewart. Vols. I., II., and III. Edited by AV. B. Turnbull, Barrister-at-Law. 1858. This is a metrical translation of a Latin Prose Chronicle, written in the first half of the 16th century. The narrative begins with the earliest legends and ends with the death of James I. of Scotland, and the “ evil ending of the traitors that slew him.” The peculiarities of the Scottish dialect are well illustrated in this version. 7. Johannis Capgrave Liber de Illustribus Henricis. Edited by the Rev. F. C. Htngeston, M.A. 1858. The first part relates only to the history of the Empire from the election of Henry I. the Powler, to the end of the reign of the Emperor Henry VI. The second part is devoted to English history, from the accession of Henry I. in 1100, to 1446, which was the twenty- fourth year of the reign of Henry VI. The third part contains the lives of illustrious men who have borne the name of Henry in various parts of the world. 8. Historia Monasterii S. Augustini Cantuariensis, by Thomas of Elmham, formerly Monk and Treasurer of that Foundation. Edited by Charles Hardwick, M.A., Fellow of St. Catharine’s Hall, and Christian Advocate in the University of Cambridge. 1858. This history extends from the arrival of St. Augustine in Kent until 1101. 9. Eulogium (Historiarum sive Temporis) : Chronicon ab Orbe condito usque ad Annum Domini 1366 ; a monacho quodam Malmesbiriensi exaratum. Vols. I., II., and III. Edited by F. S. Haydon, B.A. 1858-1863. This is a Latin Chronicle extending from the Creation to the latter part of the reign of Edward III., and written by a monk of Malmesbury, about the year 1367. A continuation carries the history of England down to the year 1413. 10. Memorials of Henry the Seventh : Bernardi Andrese Tholosatis Vita Regis Henrici Septimi ; necnon alia qutedam ad eundem Regem. spectantia. Edited by James G-airdner. 1858. The contents of this volume are—(1) a life of Henry VII., by his poet Laureate and historiographer, Bernard Andrb, of Toulouse, with some compositions in ver>e, of which he is supposed to have been the author; (2) the journals of Roger Machado during certain embassies to Spain and Brittany, the first of which had reference to the marriage of the King’s son, Arthur, with Catharine of Arragon ; (3) two curious reports by envoys sent to Spain in 1505 touching the succession to the Crown of Castile, and a project of marriage between Henry VII. and the Queen of Naples; and (4) an account of Philip of Castile’s reception in England in 1506. Other documents of interest are given in an appendix. 11. Memorials of Henry the Fifth. I.—Vita Henrici Quinti, Roberto Redmanno auctore. II.—Versus Rhytbmici in laudem Regis Henrici Quinti. III.—Elmhami Liber Metricus de Henrico V. Edited by Charles A. Cole. 1858. 12. Munimenta Gildhallas Londoniensis ; Liber Albus, Liber Custu- maram, et Liber Horn, in archivis Gildballse asservati. Vol. I., Liber Albus. Vol. II. (in Two Parts), Liber Custumarum. Vol. III., Translation of the Anglo-Norman Passages in Liber Albus, Glos¬ saries, Appendices, and Index. Edited by Henry Thomas Riley, M.A., Barrister-at-Law. 1859-1862. The Liber Albus, compiled by John Carpenter, Common Clerk of the City of London in the year 1419, gives an account of the laws, regulations, and institutions of that City in the 12th, 13th, 14th, and early part of the 15th centuries. The Liber Custumarum was com¬ piled in the early part of the 14th century during the reign of Edward II. It also gives an account of the laws, regulations, and institutions of the City of London in the 12th, 13th, and early part of the 14th centuries. 13. Chronica Johannis de Oxenedes. Edited by Sir Henry Ellis, K.H, 1859. Although this Chronicle tells of the arrival of Hengist and Horsa, it substantially begins with the reign of King Alfred, and comes down to 1292. It is particularly vniuabls for notices of events in the eastern portions of the Kingdom. 11 14. A Collection of Political Poems and Songs relating to English History, from the Accession of Edward III. to the Reign of Henry YIII. Yols.I. and II. Edited by Thomas Wright, H. A. 1859- 1861. 15.

Edited by Henry Richards Luard, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge, 1859. 17. Brut y Tywysogion; or, The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales. Edited by the Rev. John Williams ab Ithel, M.A. 1860. This work, written in the ancient Welsh language, begins with the abdication and death of Caedwala at Home, in the year 681, and continues the history down to the subjugation of Wales by Edward I., about the year 1282. 18. A Collection of Royal and Historical Letters during tue Reign of Henry IV. 1399-1404. Edited by the Rev. F. C. Hingeston, M.A., of Exeter College, Oxford. 1860. 19. The Repressor of over much Blaming of the Clergy. By Reginald Pecock, sometime Bishop of Chichester. Yols. I. and II. Edited by the Rev. Churchill Babington, B.D., Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge. 1860. The “ Repressor ” may be considered the earliest piece of good theological disquisition of which our English prose literature can boast. The author was born about the end of the fourteenth century, consecrated Bishop of St. Asaph in the year 1411, and translated to the see of Chichester in 1450. His work is interesting chiefly because it gives a full account of the views of the Lollards, and it has great value for the philologist. 20. Annales Cambria;. Edited by the Rev. John Williams ab Ithel, M.A. 1860. These annals, which are in Latin, commenced in 447, and come down to 1288. The earlier portion appears to be taken from an Irish Chronicle used by Tigemach, and by the compiler of the Annals of Ulster. 21. The Works of Gtraldus Cambrensis. Yols. I.-IY. Edited by the Rev. J. S. Brewer, M.A., Professor of English Literature, King’s College, London. Yols. V.-VII. Edited by the Rev. James F. Dimock, M.A., Rector of Barnburgh, Yorkshire. Vol. YIII. Edited by George F. Warner, M.A., of the Department of MSS., British Museum. 1861-1891. These volumes contain the historical works of Gerald du Barry, who lived in the reigns of Henry II., Richard I., and John. His works are of a very miscellaneous nature, both in prose and verse, and are remarkable for the anecdotes which they contain. The Topographia Hibernica (in Vol. V.) is the result of Giraldus’ two visits to Ix-eland, the first in 1183, the second in 1185-6, when he accompanied Prince John into that country. The Expugnatio Hibernica was written about 1188, and may be regarded rather as a great epic than a sober relation of acts occurring in his own days. Vol. VI. contains the Itine¬ rarium Kambrice et Descriptio Kambrice ; and Vol. VII., the lives of S. Remigius and S. Hugh. Vol. VIII. contains the Treatise I)e Principum Instructione, and an Index to Vols. I.-1V. and VIII. 22. Letters and Papers illustrative of the Wars of the English in France during the Reign of Henry the Sixth, King of England. Vol. I., and Yol. II. (in Two Parts). Edited by the Rev. Joseph Stevenson, M.A., Vicar of Leigbtcn Buzzard. 1861-1864. 23. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, according to the several Original Authorities. Yol. I., Original Texts. Yol. II., Translation. Edited and translated by Benjamin Thorpe, Member of the Royal Academy of Sciences at Munich, and of the Society of Netherlandish Literature at Leyden. 1861. There are at present six independent manuscripts of the Saxon Chronicle, ending in diffeienc years, and written in dilferent parts of the country. In this edition, the text of each manuscript is printed in columns on the same page, so that the student may see at a glance the various changes which occur in orthography. 12 24. Letters and Papers illustrative of the Reigns of Richard III. and Henry VII. Vols. I. and II. Edited by James G-airdner. 1861— 1863. The principal contents of the volumes are some diplomatic Papers of Richard III., correspondence between Henry VII. and Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain; documents relating to Edmund de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk; and a portion of the correspondence of James IV. of Scotland. • 25. Letters of Bishop Grosseteste. Edited by the Rev. Henry Richards Luard, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College, Cam¬ bridge. 1861. The letters of Robert Grosseteste range in date from about 1210 to 1258, and relate to various matters connected not only with the political history of England during the reign of Henry III., but with its ecclesiastical condition. They refer especially to the diocese of Lincoln, of which Grosseteste was bishop. 26. Descriptive Catalogue of Manuscripts relating to the History of Great Britain and Ireland. Vol. I. (in Two Parts) ; Anterior to the Norman Invasion. {Out of Print). Vol. II.; 1066-1200. Vol. III.; 1200-1327. By Sir Thomas Duffus Hardy, D.C.L., Deputy Keeper of the Records. 1862-1871. The object of this work is to publish notices of all known sources of . British history, both printed and unprinted, in one continued sequence. The materials, when historical (as distinguished from biographical), are arranged under the year in which the latest event is recorded in the chronicle or history, and not under the period in which its author, real or supposed, flourished. Biographies are enumerated under the year in which the person commemorated died, and not under the year in which the life was written. A brief analysis of each work has been added when deserving it, in which original portions are distinguished from mere compilations. A biographical sketch of the author of each piece has been added, and a brief notice of such British authors as have written on historical subjects. 27. Royal and other Historical Letters illustrative of the Reign of Henry III. Vol. I., 1216-1235. Vol. II., 1236-1272. Selected and edited by the Rev. W. W. Shirley, D.D., Regius Professor of Ecclesi¬ astical History, and Canon of Christ Church, Oxford. 1862-1866. 28. Chronica Monasterii S. Albani. — 1.

YPODIGMA NeUSTRIaE A Thoma Walsingham, quondam Monacho Monasterii S. Albani, conscriptum. Edited by Henry Thomas Riley, M.A., Barrister-at-Law. 1863-1876. In the first two volumes is a History of England, from the death of Henry III. to the death of Henry V., by Thomas Walsingham, Precentor of St. Albans. In the 3rd volume is a Chronicle of English History, attributed to William Risiianger, who lived in the reign of Edward I.: an account of transactions attending the award of the kingdom of Scotland to John Balliol, 1291-1292, also attributed to William Risiianger, but on no sufficient ground: a short Chronicle of English History, 1292 to 1300, by an unknown hand : a short Chronicle Willelmi Rishanger Gesta Edwardi Primi, Regis Anglia;, with Annales Regum Anglia 1 , probably by the same hand: and fragments of three Chronicles of English History, 1285 to 1307. In the 4th volume is a Chronicle of English History, 1259 to 1296: Annals of Edward II., 1307 to 1323, by John de Trokelowe, a monk of St. Albans, and a continuation of Troke- lowe’s Annals, 1323,1324, by Henry de Blaneforde: a full Chronicle of English History, 1392 to 1406; and an account of the Benefactors of St. Albans, written in the early part of the 15th century. The 5th, 6th, and 7th volumes contain a history of the Abbots of St. Albans, 793 to 1411, mainly compiled by Thomas Walsingham: with a Continuation. The 8thand 9th volumes, in continuation of the Annals, contain a Chronicle, probably of John Amundesham, a monk of St, Albans. 13 The 10th and 11th volumes relate especially to the acts and proceedings of Abbots Whethamstede, Albon, and Wallingford. The 12th volume contains a compendious History of England to the reign of Henry V., and of Normandy in early times, also by Thomas Walsingham, and dedicated to Henry V. 29. Chronicon Abbates Eveshamensis, Auctoribus Dominico Pbiore Eveshamle et Thoma de Marleberge Abbate, a Fundatione ad Annum 1213, una cum Continuatione ad Annum 1418. Edited by the Rev. W. D. Macray, Bodleian Library, Oxford. 1863. The Chronicle of Evesham illustrates the history of that important monastery from about 690 to ill 8. Its chief feature is an autobiography, which makes us acquainted with the inner daily life of a great abbey. Interspersed are many notices of general, personal, and local history. 30. Ricardi de Cirencestria Speculum Historiale de Gestis Regum Anglia:. Yol. I., 447-871. Vol. II., 872-1066. Edited by John E. B. Mayor, M.A., Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge. 1863-1869. Richard of Cirencester’s history, in four books, extends from 447 to 1066. It gives many charters in favour of Westminster Abbey, and a very full account of the lives and miracles of the saints, especially of Edward the Confessor, whose reign occupies the fourth book. A treatise on the Coronation, by William of Sudbury, a monk of Westminster, tills book ii. c. 3. 31. Year Books of the Reign of Edward the First. Years 20-21, 21-22, 30-31, 32-33, and 33-35 Edw.

Edited and translated by Luke Owen Pike, M.A., Barrister-at-Law. 1863-1891. The “Tear Books” are the earliest of our Law Reports. They contain matter not only of practical utility to lawyers in the present day, bm also illustrative of almost every branch of history, while for certain philological purposes they hold a position absolutely unique. 32. Narratives of the Expulsion of the English from Normandy, 1449- 1450 .—Robertus Blondelii de Reductione Normannise : Le Recouvre- ment de Normendie, par Berry, Herault du Roy: Conferences between the Ambassadors of France and England. Edited by the Rev. Joseph Stevenson, M.A. 1863. 33. Historia et Cartularium Monasterii S. Petri Gloucester®. Yols. I., II., and III. Edited by W. H. Hart, F.S.A., Membre correspondantde la Societe des Antiquaires de Normandie. 1863-1867. 34. Alexandri Neckam de Naturis Rerum libri duo; with Neckam's Poem, De Laudibus Divina Sapientia. Edited by Thomas Wright, M.A. 1863. In the De Naturis Eeruiu are to be found what may be called the rudiments of many sciences mixed up with much error and ignorance. N eckam had his own views in morals, and in giving us a glimpse of them, as well as of his other opinions, he throws much light upon the manners, customs, and general tone of thought prevalent in the twelfth century. 35. Leechdoms, Wortcunning, and Starcraft of Early England ; being a Collection of Documents illustrating the History of Science in this Country before the Norman Conquest. Yols. 1.-1II. Collected and edited by the Rev. T. Oswald Cockayne, M.A. 1864-1866. 36. Annales Monastici. Yol. I.:— Annales de Margan, 1066-1232 ; Annales de Theokesberia, 1066-1263 ; Annales de Burton, 1004-1263. Yol. II.:— Annales Monasterii de Wintonia, 519-1277; Annales Monasterii de Waverleia, 1-1291. Yol. Ill.:— Annales Prioratus de Dunstaplia, 1-1297. Annales Monasterii de Bermundeseia, 1042- 1432. Yol.lY.:— Annales Monasterii de Obeneia, 1016-1347; Chronieon vulgo dictum Chronieon 'J homte Wykes, 1066-1289; Annales Prioratus de Wigornia, 1-1377. Yol. Y. :—Index and Glossary. Edited by Henry Richards Luard, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College, and Registrary of the University, Cambridge. 1864-1869. The present collection embraces chronicles compiled in religious houses in England during the thirteenth century. These distinct works are ten in number. The extreme period wmch they embrace ranges from the year 1 to 1432. 14 37. Magna Yita S. Hugonis Episcopi Lincolniensis. Edited by the Rev. James F. Dimock, M.A., Rector of Barnburgh, Yorkshire. 1864. This work is valuable, not only as a biography of a celebrated ecclesiastic but as the work of a man, who, from personal knowledge, gives notices of passing events, as well as of individuals who were then taking active part in public affairs. 38. Chronicles and Memorials of the Reign of Richard the First. Yol. I. :— Itinerarium Peregrinorum et Gesta Regis RrcARDi. Yol. II.:— Epistola Cantuarienses ; the Letters of the Prior and Convent of Christ Church, Canterbury; 1187 to 1199. Edited by the Rev. William Stubbs, M.A., Yicar of Navestock, Essex, and Lambeth Librarian. 1864-1865. The authorship of the Chronicle in Vol. I., hitherto ascribed to Geoffrey Yinesauf, is now more correctly ascribed to Richard, Canon of the Holy Trinity of London. In letters in Vol. II., written between 1187 and 1199, had their origin in a dispute which arose from the attempts of Baldwin and Hubert, archbishops of Canterbury, to found a college of secular canons, a project which gave great umbrage to the monks of Canterbury. 39. Recueil des Croniques et anchiennes Istories de la Grant Bretaigne a present nomme Engleterre, par Jehan de Waurin. Yol. I. Albina to 688. Yol. II., 1399-1422. Yol. III., 1422-1431.

(Translations of the preceding Yols. I., II., and III.) Edited and translated by Sir William Hardy, F.S.A., and Edward L. C. P. Hardy, F.S.A. 1864- 1891. 41. Polychronicon Ranulpiii Higden, with Trevisa’s Translation. Yols. I. and II. Edited by Churchill Babington, B.D., Senior Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge Yols. III.-IX. Edited by the Rev. Joseph Rawson Lumby, D.D., Norrisian Professor of Divinity, Yicar of St. Edward’s, Fellow of St. Catharine’s College, and late Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. 1865-1886. This chronicle begins with the creation, and is brought down to the reign of Edward III. It enables us to form a very fair estimate of the knowledge of history and geography which well-informed readers of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries possessed, for it was then the standard work on general history. The two English translations, which are printed with the original Latin, afford in¬ teresting illustrations of the gradual change of our language, for one was made in the fourteenth century, the other in the fifteenth. 42. Le Livere de Reis de Brittanie e Le Livere de Reis de Engletere. Edited by the Rev. John Glover, M.A., Yicar of Brading, Isle of Wight, formerly Librarian of Trinity College, Cambridge. 1865. These two treaties are valuable as careful abstracts of previous historians. Some various readings are given which are interesting to the philologist as instances of semi- Saxonised French. 43. Chronica Monasterii de Melsa ab anno 1150 usque ad annum 1406, Yols. I.-III. Edited by Edward Augustus Bond, Assistant Keeper of Manuscripts, and Egerton Librarian, British Museum. 1866- 1868. The Abbey of Meaux was a Cistercian house, and the work of its abbot is a faithful and often minute record of the establishment of a religious community, of its progress in form- ing an ample revenue, of its struggles to maintain its acquisitions, and of its relations to the governing institutions of the country. 44. Mattha: Parisiensis Historia Anglorum, sive, ut vulgo dicitur, His¬ toria Minor. Yols. I., II., and III. 1067-1253. Edited by Sir Frederick Madden, K.H., Keeper of the Manuscript Department of British Museum, 1866-1869. 45. Liber Monasterii de Hyda : a Chronicle and Chartulary of Hyde Abbey, Winchester, 455-1023. Edited by Edward Edwards. 1866. The “Book of Hyde” is a compilation from much earlier sources which are usually indicated with considerable care and precision. In many cases, however, the Hyde 15 Chronicler appears to correct, to qualify, or to amplify the statements, which, in substance, he adopts. There is to be found, in the “Book of Hyde,” much information relating to the reign of King Alfred which is not known to exist elsewhere. The volume contains some curious specimens of Anglo-Saxon and mediaeval English. 46. Chronicon Scotorum : a Chronicle of Irish Affairs, from the earliest times to 1135; and Supplement, containing the Events from 1141 to 1150. Edited, with Translation, by William Maunsell Hennessy, M.R.I.A. 1866. 47. The Chronicle of Pierre de Langtoft, in French Yerse, from the earliest Period to the Death of Edward I. Vols. I. and II. Edited by Thomas Wright, M.A. 1866-1868. It is probable that Pierre de Langtoft was a canon of Bridlington, in Yorkshire, and lived in the reign of Edward I., and during a portion of the reign of Edward II. This chronicle is divided into three parts; in the first, is an abridgment of Geoffrey of Mon¬ mouth’s “ Historia Britonum ; ” in the second, a history of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman kings, to the death of Henry III.; in the third, a history of the reign of Edward I. The language is a curious specimen of the French of Yorkshire. 48. The War of tiie Gaedhil with the Gaill, or The Invasions of Ireland by the Danes and other Norsemen. Edited, with a Trans¬ lation, by the Eev. James Henthorn Todd, D.D., Senior Fellow of Trinity College, and Regius Professor of Hebrew in the University of Dublin. 1867. The work in its present form, in the editor’s opinion, is a comparatively modern version of an ancient original. The story is told after the manner of the Scandinavian Sagas. 49. Gesta Regis IIenrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis. Chronicle of the Reigns of Henry II. and Richard I., 1169-1192, known under the name of Benedict of Peterborough. Yols. I. and II. Edited by the Rev.

Munimenta Academica, or, Documents illustrative of Academical Life and Studies at Oxford (in Two Parts). Edited by the Rev. Henry Anstey, M.A., Vicar of St. Wendron, Cornwall, and lately Yice-Principal of St. Mary Hall, Oxford. 1868. 51. Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Houedene. Yols. I .-IV. Edited by the Rev. William Stubbs, M.A., Regius Professor of Modern History, and Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 1868-1871. The earlier portion, extending from 732 to 1148, appears to be a copy of a compilation made in Northumbria about 1161, to which Hoveden added little. Prom 1148 to 1169—a very valuable portion of this work—the matter is derived from another source, to which Hoveden appears to have supplied little. Prom 1170 to 1192 is the portion which corre¬ sponds to some extent with the Chronicle known under the name of Benedict of Peter¬ borough (.see No. 49). Prom 1192 to 1201 may be said to be wholly Hoveden’s work. 52. Willelmi Malmesbiriensis Monachi de Gestis Pontificum Anglorum Libui Quinque. Editedby N. E. S. A.

This work forms a comprehensive Palaeographic Series for Ireland. It furnishes characteristic specimens of the documents which have come 'down from each of the classes which, in past ages, formed principal elements in the population of Ireland, or exercised an influence in her affairs. With these reproductions are combined fac-similes of writings connected with eminent personages or transactions of importance in the annals of the country to the early part of the eighteenth century. The specimens have been reproduced as nearly as possible in accord¬ ance with the originals, in dimensions, colouring, and general appearance. Characteristic examples of styles of writing and caligraphic ornamenta¬ tion are, so far as practicable, associated with subjects of historic and linguistic interest. Descriptions of the various manuscripts are given by the Editor in the Introduction. The contents of the specimens are fully elucidated and printed in the original languages, opposite to the Fac-similes—line for line—without contractions—thus facilitating reference and aiding effectively those interested in paleographic studies. In the work are also printed in full, for the first time, many original" and important historical documents. Fart I. commences with the earliest Irish MSS. extant. Part II.: From the Tivelfth Century to A.D. 1299. Part III.: From A.D 1300 to end of reign of Henry VIII. Part IV. 1. : From reign of Edward VI. to that of James I.
