The Warwickshire Eyre Roll Of 1262
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
An eyre or iter, sometimes called a general eyre, was the name of a circuit travelled by an itinerant justice in medieval England (a justice in eyre), or the circuit court over which they presided, or the right of the monarch (or justices acting in their name) to visit and inspect the holdings of any vassal. The records of the eyre courts are very formal, and are written almost entirely in Latin, much abbreviated and full of technical legal terminology. They were kept on rolls of parchment. Each roll was made up of lengths of parchment, known as membranes, stitched together. This is a full edited text of an English translation of the sole surviving roll of the 1262 Warwickshire Eyre, preserved in the National Archives. This preserves a record of numerous Warwickshire figures of the time, and gives an overall impression of the history of the county in that period. Illustrated with reproductions of pages from the roll. Includes an index of persons mentioned.
