Preview Yorkshire Hundred and Quo Warranto Rolls

Yorkshire Hundred and Quo Warranto olls 1274-1294 At midsummer 1274 Edward I returned to England from crusade, and ordered a major investigation of matters that concerned the crown, in particular encroachments upon his rights and the misconduct of local government officers. The inquiries were made hundred by hundred, and wapentake by wapentake (the local government divisions of the south and the north). Subsequently the king sent justices into the English shires, who required claim- ants to prove by what authority they held delegated royal powers: they were summoned by the writ quo warranto (by what warrant). The two sets of records became known as the hundred rolls and the quo warranto rolls. Such inquiries had been made before, but the investigations made between 1274 and 1294 were particularly searching. The only edition of the English hundred and quo warranto rolls was published at the beginning of the nine- teenth century in specially created type, designed to reproduce the appearance of the original manuscripts; it contains a number of errors and omissions. For the present edition, the surviving manu- scripts in the Public Record Office for the Yorkshire hundred and quo warranto inquir- ies have been collated, edited and translated; the text provides a valuable source for many aspects of late thirteenth-century Yorkshire society, in particular the government of the shire. The present edition is the first published translation of the records for any English county. Dustjacket illustration: Design incorporating drawings from the Yorkshire hundred rolls.
