This two-volume compilation contains the texts of documents in
Latin, Middle French and Middle English (with translations and
abstracts) concerning the later phases of the Hundred Years' War,
focusing on the period 1423-50. Published between 1861 and 1864, it
was edited by Joseph Stevenson (1807-95), a Northumbrian archivist
and clergyman who had been instrumental in persuading the British
government to sponsor the Rolls Series project. Stevenson
transcribed and translated material from archival sources in France
and England, including the Registers of the Grants issued by the
English government in France from 1420 to 1433 and the Privy Seal
collection. The Preface to Volume 2, Part 1 outlines key events
from the 1435 Treaty of Arras to 1445, and the texts, all from
French archives, relate mainly to diplomatic and financial matters.
They include fascinating details such as a large order for French
wine from the Dowager Queen Katherine.
