The 1279-80 hundred rolls are one of the most important sources for
later thirteenth century England, yet this is the first
comprehensive study of the inquiry which brought them into being. A
Second Domesday will be an indispensable working tool for
historians and is based on the latest knowledge of the returns.
More of these are being discovered all the time and one of the aims
of this book is to stimulate the recognition of other surviving
texts. The book places the inquiry in its historical context,
continental as well as English. This is followed by an examination
of its purpose and whether or not it was conceived deliberately as
a second Domesday Book. Central to the study is a consideration of
the geographical range of the inquiry, how it was conducted and the
way in which the returns were compiled. The way in which the
inquiry was used, by historians as well as contemporaries, along
with the introductory chapters will be particularly helpful to
students. The book concludes with a description of all known
returns, which, together with the appendices, are designed to
assist future users.
