This thirteen-volume series, which first appeared between 1914 and
1965, is an extensive collection of the pre-thirteenth-century
charters and related records of Yorkshire, which had previously
remained largely unpublished. The first three volumes were edited
by William Farrer (1861-1924), after whose death Charles Travis
Clay (1885-1978) took up the task. The series was well respected
for the quality of Farrer's editing, which was surpassed only by
that of Clay in the later volumes. The majority of Volume 3 (1916)
is devoted to the extensive charters of the Lascy fee of Pontefract
and the Albermarle fee of Holderness. It also includes documents
relating to Hallamshire and Mortemer. Each Latin text is prefaced
with a summary in English, and documents of note are followed by a
discussion of their content and points of interest, including
genealogies of the people involved.
