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 introduction to Volume 1 outlines the political
instability and shifting alliances that underlay the hostilities,
and the subjects of the texts range from court matters and
diplomacy to finance and military logistics. This primary source
material reveals fascinating details about a pivotal period in
European history.
