This volume prints, from a manuscript in the National Maritime
Museum, the accounts kept by the official in charge of the King's
ships during these years, translated from medieval Latin. The
accounts are concerned largely with the disposal of the vessels
owned by Henry V after his death. Also printed are further
fragmentary accounts relating to ship repairs and ship building in
1416 and 1417. The income and expenditure sections show clearly the
sources of finance for royal vessels and also their value on
disposal. The inventory section consists of lists of the fittings,
rigging and armaments on board the vessels. The volume also
includes an introduction dealing with Soper's career, as a merchant
in Southampton as well as a royal official, and with the
administration and operation of royal ships in the early fifteenth
century. The volume also contains a full list of ships owned by
Henry V, select biographies and a glossary of technical terms.
