To raise money for the Parliamentarian cause in the English Civil
War, from 1645 the Committee for Compounding with Delinquents
assessed the property of Royalist supporters and fined them, the
rate depending on their degree of involvement, their religion and
profession. The fine varied between a tenth and two thirds of their
assets. They were also forced to take an oath to support
Parliament, and could lose their estates if they re-offended or
failed to pay the fine in full. Edited by John William Clay
(1838-1918) and published between 1893 and 1896, this three-volume
collection contains all the entries in the archives relating to
Yorkshire landholders. Volume 3 (1896) contains abstracts of cases
313-677, dating from 1646 to 1659, although there were far fewer
proceedings after 1653. The appendix includes the texts of the
National Covenant (1643) and the National Oath (1645).
