First full edition of a crucial source for knowledge of the period.
The eyre roll is a major source of information about medieval life,
ranging from local courts and land tenure through town customs and
the status of women to general neighbourliness. This is especially
important for Northumberland, where constant border raiding was
detrimental to the accumulation of local records. The survival of
the Northumberland Eyre Roll for 1293, recording over eleven
hundred law suits, provides a rare glimpse of the county
(togetherwith information on Lancashire, Westmorland and
Cumberland) on the eve of the outbreak of the Anglo-Scottish wars;
as only brief extracts from the roll have been published
previously, this full edition will be warmly welcomed. Thetext is
accompanied by notes and a subject index providing a full guide to
topics of special interest. CONSTANCE FRASER is a retired lecturer.
