PREFACE

SEVERAL yearsago my attention was called byMr. Hubert Hallto two plearolls preserved in the Public Record Office, containingthe ofi cial proceedings of the trials of the judges and other royaloflicers, beforeaspecial Commissionappoin ted by Edward I. in 1289.

The smaller of the two rolls was copied out,and I undertook to

edit it for the Camden Series. Further investigation soon showed

the undesirability of publishing the recordas it stands, for reasonswhich are set forth later. Here it need only be said that thesmaller roll on ly contain s aportion of the proceedings of the

Commission ,and that the more bulky roll which includes the rest

hadalso to come within the editor’s purview . An unusual pressof literary and academic work made it impracticable for me

to spend suflìcient consecutive time in London to work through

its conten ts. Accordine the project slumbered for some time,

in the labour my pupi] ,Mi ss HildaJohnston e, B.A .,Jones Fellow

INDEX

INTRODU CTION

ON Friday, August 12 , Edward I . returned from his visit to

Gascony. He had left England in May taking with him

the Chancellor and the Great Seal For three years, then , the

coun try had been free from his personal supervision , and the

legislation of 1275—1285 left to bear the test of its deviser’

s

absence.

What was the result ? A un iversal outcry greeted him on his

return . The clamor miserorum rose bitterly, crying shame on

the savagery, injnatice,and venality of the royal ofi cers, greatandsmall . The gen eralisation concern ing Edward I.

,never was a

king worse served by his in struments,’

was proved again true .

From his justices and ofi cials of trust, down to the humblest of

his subordinates,all apparen tly had seized the opportun ity of

their master’sabsen ce to extort money, pervert justice, use theirofi cial position to serve their private ends.

The tidings must have been madden ing to the order-lovingK ing. Difficult as italways is to dogmatise about the characterofamedimval ruler, to discriminate between his own action sandthose of the lawyersand advisers w riting in his name

, yet on e is

told enough of Edward I . by con temporary evidence and his own

work to see in himaman w ith an in stinct for orderliness,aman

of passion and determination , truer than most, in an age when

promises w en t for little,to his own motto of Pactum serva.’

Aided by his chancellor Burn ell, Edward had for the last twen tyyears been legislating, systematising, tran quillising . Not on ly hadhe re-established the strength of the Crownafter the troubles of hisfather’s reign ,

n ot only had he extended his rule over North Wales,and brought the unsettled borders under firmer jurisdiction n ot

on ly had he tighten ed his grasp upon the greateran d more un rulyn obleabut he had found time to con cern himself w ith the

minuties of judicial procedure . Effectiven ess and sw iftn ess were

the keynotes of hi s legislation in this departmen t . Hi s very first

statuto (Statute ofWestmin ster I . ,1275) devoted twen ty-n in e out of

its forty-five clauses to judicial matters

,the definition of procedure,

mean s toavoid delays, and so forth. In the same year followedthe Ofi cium Coronatoris. The Statute of Rageman (1276)supplemen ted the Statute of Westmin ster. The Statute of

Gloucester (1278) busied itself w ith procedure in assizes of n ovel

disseisin etc . Then , because certain cases wherein the law failedremain ed undetermin ed

, and some remain ed to be enacted,’ theStatute of Westmin ster II . follow ed in 1285

,dealing chicfly with

land, but in cluding certain clauses of more gen eral bearing. A ll this

show s that Edward had devoted con siderable thought to judicialmatters,and might well think it safe to leave the coun tryawhile.

To find his confidence abused an d his legislation adead lettermust have been aheavy blow . However

,this n ew trouble was

faced with his usual promptn ess. The first record we have of the

matter isawrit to the sherifi'

ION

The Rolls.

The rolls are numbered for referen ce 541 Aand 541 B. Eachconsists of membranes of parchmen t some n ine inches wide

and varying in length from twen ty to thirty-five inches, strung

togetherat the head,and written generally upon both sides . The

roll numbered 541A is by far the larger, con sisting of seven ty

seven membran es,as compared w ith forty-six in the other . It is

in the shorter roll,however, that on the whole the most in teresting

cases are dealt w ith ; w ith this,5413

,we shall be mainly con

cerned . Blanks have been left in the originale for the in sertiono f details in later stages of the proceedings. Posteaven erun t,

’

etc.,run s the form.) The clerk has eviden tly sat w ith n otes and

documents before him,weaving them in to afair copy. At times

he has been betrayed in to setting out theactual words of the writ

before him,and fails to change con struction or person suitably .

Preceptum est vicecomiti quod distringas,’ he writes on more

than on e occasion .

1

In this con nection it is in teresting to n ote that the actualnames of the clerks who wrote the rolls, and the payments madeto them , are preserved on the Liberate an d Issue rolls. The

follow ingare the facts :

John dc Bradf ord was employedas third clerk to theauditors,circacomposicion em et ordinacion em rotulorum de querelis factis

coram A rchidiacon o Norwycen siapudWestmonasterium from the

quinden e of St.Martin 17 Edw . I to Hilary 18 Edw . I .

’ He waspaid £3.

An example occurs in 541a, m. 21 , where the clerk’satten tion to the heated

and triumphtmt reply of John daCavato William de Saham leads him to set downthe exact words : theaccused has madeastatement before you, theauditors, whohave recordand who represen t the person of the King.

The rollsare of afairly uniform legibility. Their difi cnlties

are main ly those common to all thirteen th-cen turyMSS — simi

parchment is fairly preserved, theactual tran scription presen ts fewserious difi culties. Un fortunately, however, almost every mem

bran e is grievously torn and defaced, especially towards the foot.

An example will show how great has been the difi culty of pro

membran e contain s 81 lin ea, though it may have been much longerwhen un injured. Of these the first twenty are intact . At the

tw en ty-first begin sacrooked tear from right to left which continues

to the foot. From lin e 21 to 48 it is possible . to fill up the gapsconjecturally, for n ot more than three or four words have van ishedin each line. The remain ing thirty

-three lines, however, makeconjcoture hazardous, each requiring six to fifteen words to

complete it. This case is prin ted on page 85,as its importanceseemed to demand,and may serveasatype of the system we haveadopted throughout . Where the space leit vacant is small or thegeneral drift of the mean ing clear, the gaps have been filled up

by words in serted between square brackets. Theseare in tendedmerely to conjecturally complete the sen ten ce on lin es suggested

by the text . They do n ot pretend to reproduce n ecessarily theexact words of the original writer. In more difi cult cases,however, or where the lacunaextends to alarge n umber of words,

the deficien cy is supplied by row s of dota,longer or shorter, to

indicate the size of the vacant space . Finally, in cases where so

little of the original remain s that it is useless to prin t it, severallines of dotaandaside-n ote show the exten t of the omisàon . It

is with“great reluctance that w e have been driven to present so

partialatext ; but the choice lay between this courseand n eglect

ing many cases, valuableand in teresting even in their fragmen tarystate .

Another crucial problem is chronology . The dating of mem

bran es is un systematic. In 77 membranes in Ro ll A,written

frontand back, on ly 72 en tries of date are made and in B,30

en tries occur on the 46 membran es . Often too, merely the period

of the year, n ot the year concerned, is given .

It may be useful to in sert here lists of the dated membranes inthe order in which they occur in the rolls.

The Court of Inquiry.

The original seven commissioners,already men tion ed, were asfollows —Robert Burn ell, Bishop of Bath and Wella; HenryLacy, Earl of Lincoln ; John de Pon toise Bishop of Win chester ;John de St . John William le Latimer ; William deMarch andWilliam de Louth .

It is easy to see what motivo directed the K ing’

s choice of

these seven . He had been gross deceived by the highest amonghis servan ts ; the commission ers who investigated must be menwhose loyalty was beyond all suapicion . All are famous names .

Burn ell had been chancellor sin ce 1274 ,and un til his death, in 1292 ,remain ed the K ing’

s closest adviser and faithful helper. HenryLacy , Earl of Lincoln ,

occupiedasimilar position among the laymen on the commission . His life

Edward II was on e long story of service to the Crown and of

loyalty which burn ed so clear as to still follow the great K ing’

The former was promin en t in every campaign from the first Welsh war onwards,andoften in command. The latter similarly fought for the K ing inmany battles, begin n ing his history as govemor of Porchester

Castle, and active con tinually thenceforth both in camp andcouncil. His name is chicfiy associated w ith Gascony, where henot on ly fought w ith distinction , but ruled with success asseneschal. William de Louth

,made Bishop of Ely in 1290, com

pletes thearray of commission ers.

Such was the commission appoin ted by the original writ. Did

it continue to sit throughout the whole period of the trialsNo freshappoin tmen t is recorded on patent or close rolls, yet

it is certain that fresh members entered the board… Proban the

explanation is that while in theory the same commission con tinued

to sit, the preoccupation s of its chief members in these busy

years led to others coming forwardas their substitutes, the originalseats, however, being reserved for the original members when they

found it possible to be presen t .

Suchan explanation is con sonan t w ith the eviden ce afi'

orded

by the rolls themselves. From time to time en tries show the

original board in session . In membran e 21d of Roll B,for

in stance,

2 w e find that Ralph came before the Bishops of

Winchester and Bath, the Earl of Lincoln , William le LatimerJohn de St . John ,

MasterWilliam deMarchandWill iam de Louth .

morrow of St . Andrew because the Earl of Lincoln w ill then be

The fact that no formal record on the rolls survives does n ot absolutelyexclude the possibility of new appoin tmen ts. Cf .

This is,however, the on ly men tion of the

name.

We can on ly guess at the reasons for these changes. The

probable explanations may be briefly summarised .

1 Vacancies caused by death . Burn ell, for in stan ce, died25 October, 1292 .

2. Vacan cies caused by the absence of commissioners on the

K ing’

s busin ess . The extract quoted above concern ing the Earlof Lincoln is one in stance :and the calendars of paten t and close

rolls for the years involved teem w ith references to the employmen t ofall the chief commission ers on similar errai1ds. Burn ell in

particular was much engaged in the Scottish succession busin ess,

and wasabsent for long periods in the n orth w ith Edward.

3 . Vacan cies caused by prefermen t. William de Louth wasmade Bishop of Ely in 1290, and Treasurer in the same year.

Bothappoin tmen ts would considerably curtail his leisure .

4 . Possibly special legal, or special local, know ledge wasdesired. Peter de Leicester’s previous experience

,and Thomas

de Scarning’

s conn ection w ith Norfolk ,might make their presence

desira'ble. (A very large proportion of the complain ts came fromNorfolk.)

A special set of auditors for complain ts of the city of London ,ad querelas min istrorum in fracivitatemaudiendasassignati,’ w ereappoin ted (p . This we kn ow from many references in the roll .

’For his duties, performed from the quinden e of

The Terms of the Conwn ission .

We probably get the exact pow ers of the commission statedin B, membran e 27d. The A bbot of Lilleshall there says he wasn ot aware that theaudito rs had cogn isance of any pica, save on lyof trespmses donc by the K ing

’

s min isters, while the K ing wasabsentf rom the kingdom.

’

Thus there were two poin ts to be seized by

the eager pleaders of exception es

(I) The restriction of t ime. The offence must have been com

mitted since the K ing last crossed to Gascony,’ that is sin ce

May 1286.

A case in Roll A il lustrating this is worth special notice“Thehusband of acertain '

Roger refused to carry out the K ing’

Now came the in teresting poin t. Roger made noattempt toLiberate Rolls,Michaelmas, 18and 19 Edw. I. ,No. 55,m. 8. He is describedas

’ Yet the commission ers were

not appointed until the autumn of 1289 . Why, then , the quinden e of Hilary,1289 His salary foractingas criar before other tribunale was probably coun tedalong with what he received Ior diacharging this function for the special commission .

cogn isance of that time . Ideo Rogerus inde sin e die etMargerien ihi l capiat per predictam querelam.

’

(2) The restriction of person— the offendere must be min isters

of the K ing.

’

What was the exact scope of this phrase It certain ly ex

tended overavery variedassortmen t of persons, highand low . In

Roll A there are five examples of argument on this poin t,which

show the skill of the legal advisers of the accused parties , thoughthey give us little help in arriving at adefin ition . In the first

case , the defendan t isabailifi'

of the hundred of Lothingland.

l He

pleads that he is sen eschal of John Balliol, who holds the hundredof Lothingland of the K ing. In that hundred, he says,acertainRichard Durrant servit in omnibus que ad dominum regem per

tin ent.’ He himself has n othing to do with it. The complainan t

,

however, declare s he is n everthelessamin ister pro eo quod facitexecucion em et retornum brevium tam in debitis levandis quam deomnibusaliis quead dominum regem pertin en t .

’

In the next case the mayor’

of Bristol isaccused.

’ He pro

testa, quiaelectus est in maiorem per commun itatem ville et

eidem commun itati prestat sacramen tum et n on domino regi .’

Another mayor, the mayor of Wallingford, likewise refuses to

be called amin ister.

’ The complainan t answers,Est juratus

The fifth case is similar— the defendan t is clericus juratus dehundredo.

to the K ing’

In any case, however, the person sagain st whom the commissioners

heard complain ts were of very differen t degrees of importance.

’

The two rolls recording the inquiry, though they do n ot committhe auachron ism of striving aficr precision , make some rough

attempt at division of classes. The shorter, B,might be called

that such franchisee were not grants from the Crown , but privileges held strictlyunder itasurveillance. There is, however, no evidence in the roll to suggest thatthis view was ofi ciallyaccepted by the commissioners.

about the greatest culprits.

chron iclers had in the trials, since so many complain ts came fromthat district

,would enhance the possibility of exaggeration .

Bartholomew de Cotton for in stance, obviously gloats over the

successive pun ishments he details, land even regrets that bymon eyfines the culprits succeeded in stemming the K ing

’

s wrath .

Despite their desire to tellagood story , the chron iclers were

not likely in this case to have first—hand in formation . The K ingmight send them precise copies of documents where the claimto an overlordship was in question but he would not supplydetails of the overthrow of his own in strumen ts. Theaccoun ts of

the chron iclers,then

,are either vague or extravagan t. Hemingburgh

devotes five lin es and apione quotation to the whole busin ess .

“The Flores state that the K ing’

absence, muneribus excwcati, judiciaperverterun t et in aliiserraverun t.’ Wykes is more explicit w ith regard to individualculprits.

Adam of Stratton , and so forth.

Only this vague outcry , then , can be gathered from the

chron iclers. We turn w ith confidence to the record foraccurate ifless dramatic description .

The record, un fortunately, is almost as disappointing as thechron iclers. Even when the two rolls have been collated, andadditional in formation taken from the firstandadded to the second,

thereare still lamentable gaps. In n o less than 60 out of the 165cases recorded in the shorter roll

,theaccusation is n ever given , or

on ly vague given as trespass.

’

More than that,the termination sof the casesare either lost or notrecorded in many instan ces. Weare left,afterastirring narrationof the w ickedn ess ofaculprit

,to decide the case for ourselves. His

actual fate remainsamystery.

Statistics, then ,must rest on afrail foundation and even for

such imperfect statisticsadilemmaat once presen ts itself . Two

coursesare open .

A . We may take asabasis of calculation the results of the

cases, where known . We may assume, that is to say, that theproportion of convictions represents the preportion ofactual crime.

B. We may n eglect the actual result of the case,and reason

from theaccusation s, whether proven or not.

Course A ,though perhaps the more natural , is open to grave

objection s. It implies thatabsolutely impartial justice was metedout : that the ofl'

ender wasalways caughtand the innocen t alwaysacquitted. Now the widen ess of the mesh in the n et of medimvaljustice is proverbial,and suchasupposition isaman ifestabsurdity .

Further,in these particular cases there were special reasons for

error in the final judgment.(1) The men accused were trained in legal technicalities, ready

to tw istand turn , to avail themselves of every loophole of escape.

In agolden age of forms,’

such kn ow ledge would be invaluable .

himself or he might selectaweapon which proved unsuitable forhis particular purpose . Abundan t eviden ce of the value of this

specialist know ledge may be found in even aglance through the

text.

(2) Where there w ere records toappeal to, they had been drawnup by the culprits themselves, or their clerks,and might often be

quite un reliable . In the case of John son of Roger de Reed,l the

plaintifl‘

declares that en rolmen ts were not duly made . His story

runsas follows. While underage,John handed overapart of hisinheritance for aterm of years to Richard de Chertsey. But

Richard de Chertsey,and John de Chertsey, late clerk to Williamde Brompton , to assure their position , prepared acartafecfl'amen ti

,

’ and bringing John de Reed to Westmin ster, fecerun t

absque brevi etabsque summon icione etabsque ordin e curie .

’

The

alleged illegal fin e was challenged on John’

s behalf but whether

theaforesaid challenge’

was en rolled or n ot he does n ot kn ow ,for

John de Chertsey wasat that timeaclerk in the Bench .

’

(3) The most serious objection of all,however

,to draw ing

in ferences from the number of conviction s is that to do so does

n ot reckon upon the attitude of the Crow n . The K ing’

s handbehind the complainan ts wasalways insistentand obvious. It wasamatter which touched him n early . A t the same time the periodwasan anxious on e finan cially the wars w ith Walesand the sub

sequen t settlement had been expen sive ; the conflict w ith Scotlandwas to prove more so ; the French war was gradually brew ing ;the K ing was deeply 1ndebted to the Italian societies of bankers,and funds w ould be n ow more than ever n ecessary. It is not

surprising,then , thatafter the first outburst of indignation Edwardmay have turn ed hisatten tion rather to the mon etary profits to begot from the busin ess than to the demands of abstract justice .

To pun ish the w orst oflenders and frighten the rest was imperative ; but that once don e

,his rigour might abate for amon ey

consideration . The disgraced men were no worse , if n o better,

than the majority of their colleagues ; why, then , break atoolwhich might still have its uses ? Al l the justices,’ says Bartholomew de Cotton ,

‘ made fines w ith the K ing and so , by

An examination of

the Becsipt Rolls of the Exchequer for the period covered by the

trials makes the promin en ce of the finan cial side of the mattervery apparen t. The table follow ing this page shows the sums

paid by the prin cipal offendere.

" The figuresat the head representReceipt Rolls from Easter 1290 toMichaelmasThis financialaspect must always be remembered in judging

cases from their results .

B. Course B,an analysis ofaccusation s, has dangersalso. The

period is well known for elaborate accusation s. The remarkableingenuity in piling upon anucleus of truth astrange medley of

hideous crime,illustrated by the trials of the Templars, Philip Iv .

s

attack on Bon iface VIII.,the process of Bishop Guichard of Troyes,

and the complain tsagain st Bishop Walter Langto n in 1301, doubtless was of use in these casesalso. Further, the invitation to alland sundry to tell their tale had its temptation for the un scrupu

lous. It was easy to model fresh tales upon cases already proven .

However,ananalysis ofaccusation sapproximates .to the truth more

closely than an analysis of results. There is n o smoke without afire ;and the nature

,if not the number, of the ofi

since it deals w ith the more importan t culprits,the analysis may

be briefly made thus :

I. Cases where noaccusation is statedII. Error, favour,and maintenanceIII. ViolenceIV. False enrolmentsV. Unclassified oficncss

I . Noacw sation stated.— The on ly comment suggested under

this head is that the large proportion of such cases is suggestive ofthe extreme vaguen ess un derlying the whole of the proceedings

before the commission .

II . Error, favour,and main tenarwe.— For the heading describ

ing group II . weare indebted to the Abbot of Roche, who refers thusto the conduct of those who abjudged land from hi s pmdecessor.

So by errorand favourand main tenan ce ,

’

he concludes, was thisinjury done to the house of Roche .

’

The class of ofi'

ence is more

or less peculiar,pertain ing specially to an inquiry where the

culprits are ofi cials handed again st the outsider. In all sorts ofways, the complainants declare, difendere have been screen ed andprotesting voices silenced. Four classes may be selected astypical.

1 . Refusal to allow exception es or special pleas. No doubt

such exception es ’

had become far too frequent ; and had they

been always allowed, cases would have been fought out on be

wildering side issues in stead of on theactual charge. At the sametime , to refuso to hear them wasan efl

‘

ectual method of stoppingundesirable proceedings , and biassed judge might use this

power for his own ends . In the same category comes thearbitrarychoice of jurors,and n eglect of the plain tifl

'

s’

challenges. Henryde laLegh and N icholas de Carne, for in stance , complain that apacked jury, tenan ts of Ralph de Beauchamp, their en emy, was

xl 1mnonucrxon

called. l John de Ronhale declares that by the removal of threemen and the substitution of three others he lostacase .

2 In stancesmight be multiplied.

2 . A more serious ofl'

ence wasactual intimidation . The case of

William de Durn ford isan interestingand,as the jurors on theiroath confirmed W illiam’

s story,atrustworthy example . Robert le

Red complain ed of William before Richard de Boyland on iter in

Gloucester. William’

s an sw ers were not admitted, in the first

place , and the case was decided in Robert’

s favour. A more

dramatic piece of injastice , however, followed. In the great hallatBristol where pleas of the crown were held

,Richard de Boyland

bade his marshal John de Wykham,who carried the rod

before him in the iter,

Silvester, meeting the constable in Exeter on e day, is taken to thecastle. Once there, the gates are closed behind him

,and he is

besten by six unknown rascals,’ and dragged by his feet to

prison . He is loaded with fetters and cast head foremost in to adungeon fifteen feet deep . There

,wounded by the fall, ho lies

starving from(Monday to Wedn esday, till from agony he is

deliriousand like to die. Meanwhile his boasts have been seized

and sold. Against these picturesque details the defence of the

constable rings true . Headmits the imprisonment,but declares

that it was ajust deten tion till Thomas paid mon ey dueas bailifl'

of the K ing. Both parties put themselves on the coun try, but we

have no record of the decision .

IV. Fake Em olments.— It is not surprising that the proportion

of false enrolments is small. To break the K in g’

s seal, destroy theK ing

’s documents,and in sert n ew matter in old texts, requireda

differen t order of courage from that which directed potty oppres

sions. Both the risk and the labour w ere great . It is Williamdo Brompton , on e of the most during of the offendere

,who sin s the

most n oticean in this respect. Robert de Botyndon o tells how ,

w ishing to get rid of an essoin in acertain case, William causedthe whole roll in which the essoin was en tered to be altered

,and

altogether removed the essoin .

’ When Robert protested, he wassen t to prison . Thisaccusation was n ot provedagain stWilliam deBrompton , for Robert refused to certify the court by the clerksandattorn eys con cerned, though he was w illing to submit toapatriaof Northampton . On e feels that, had ho con sen ted

,the risk of

losing his caso would have been very great ?Summarising the results of this analysis, on e must conclude

that the record does on the whole bear out the wall of the

chron iclers . The culprits were n ot the thomngh-paced scoun drels

that the chron iclers w ould have us think them,n or w ere the com

plainan ts as completely in nocen t and injured as they represen t

mrsoovcmon xliii

themselves . Nevertheless enough of truth is mingled in the cup

of discon ten t to show that avery real oppression had Iain upon

the coun try during the K ing’

sabsence .

The Plan of the Edition .

The book consists of two parts— selected cases and three

appendices. We are aware of the objections that can be urged

again stany plan of excerpts from records, such as that w e haveadopted ; but we can plead the example of theaccomplished editorsof the publications of the Seldon Society,and w e are con vinced

that there is no other practical way of making accessible the

essen tial portion s of records so longand so formal as are the bulkof our plearolls. It was indeed originally in tended to prin t B,

the shorter roll,in full

,adding, where relevan t, extracts from A .

How ever, suchaplan hadat least three disadvan tages.

1 . Even the short roll would have ormedabulky volume, withlittle room for illustrative or critical matter.

2 .Many en tries, relating to adjournmen ts orappoin tments of

attorneys, are purely formal, tending to obscure more valuablematter for the historian , an d to w eary the gen eral reader ; andothers refer to cases whose gen eral in terest and importance aresingularly small.

3 . The most serious objeetion to the more straightforvirardprin ting, however,was that it would have tran sferredacon siderableamoun t of labour from the shoulders of the editors to those of the

reader who w ished to con sult the documen t for aspecial purpose .

Suppose, for example,that in formation was required con cern ing

William de Brompton . The index would show fifty-four en tries

con tain ing his name ; and it would on ly be after lengthy sitting

and comparison that the reader would discover that twen ty—eightdifferen t cases w ere in volved in these

,and that on ly some twen ty

of the total en tries con tain edany real in formation .

It was decided, therefore, to undertakeathorough examination

xliv INTRODUCTION

of the matter in both rolls,and presen t it in aform for ready

reference . The result is Appendices II. and III .,dealing with

rolls A and B respectively, bringing together cases concern ing

individuals,and en tries relating to the same case,in alphabetical

order. Five poin ts should be noted to facilitate the use of the

appendices.

l . Appendix II .analyses Roll A ,Appendix III . Roll B. Justices

should be sought chiefly in the latter, shorifl'

s chiefly in the former.

2 . In Appendix II.adagger again st aname in the first

column shows that the name recurs, and must be sought, in

Appendix III. This does not n ecessarily imply that the samecase recurs.

3 . If the ofi'

onder thus referred to is concern ed in the same casein both rolls

,the references to both rollsappear in Appendix III .,

4 . The most importan t reference isasterisked in each case .

Suchan asterisk usually implies that theaccusation is set forth, orthe result of the case stated, in the entry thus marked. In some

casosall entriesare purely formal.5 . Personal names are prin tedas they stan d

,w ith alternative

spellings in afootnote . In the column headed Ofi ce,’

however,

names of town s hundreds,and churches have been iden tifiedand

printed in their modern form.

An example w ill show how rapid this system renders the work

of reference. Material relating to William de Brimbleschote is

required, we w ill suppose . A glan ce at Appen dix II . shows us

that he was sherifl'

of Hampshire,and was involved in five differen t

cases. Further, we seo that in only two of these cases is theaccusation stated,

whereas all the results plain ly appear. The

asterisked referen ces show where more detailed in formation maybe sought in the original . The dagger before the name wam s us

that the delinquen t is referred to also in Roll B. Turning to

Appendix III .,w e find various further references to one of the

cases, but are shown by the absence of asterisks that no real

INTRODUCTION xlv

additional in formation is contain ed there . Thus, being in possession

of the description of the accused, the names of his accusors, thenature of his ofi‘

ence, the coun ty whence the complaints came,andw ith references which discriminate between valuableand valuelessen tries, it is possible to see at once whether further investigationwould be profitable . For this reason we feel that the largeomission s which have been made in editing the rollsare justifiab1e.

On e principle has been followed in choosing the extracts which

have been prin ted, viz . to include at least one example of accusationsagainst each of the greatest ofi

‘

enders. On ly so much of eachcase is set down as is absolutely necessary for its comprehen sion .

The referencesat the head of each extract show where the rest of

the formal stages in the caseare to be found.

On e task has been shirked in thisanalysis— the pronouncingof an ultimatumas to chronology. It was felt that theadvantageto be derived from a. table show ing the dates in the progress of

each case was trivial compared with the very great risk of

inaccuracy. The disorderly arran gemen t of the roll,the very

casual dating ,

‘ the numerous entries in every case, made the taskalmost impossible save

,foralegal expert ; while, even for sucha

on e, conjeoture wouldat times be n ecessary to supplemen t knowledge. For the historical studen t the broad dates of the proceedingssufi ce

,while to the searcher after particular problems the deter

mination of particular datos may be safely left.

Compare, for instance,Hengham’s extraordinary statemen t (printed 011 p.

According to him, breuianunquam facts. eran t quousque captaesset inquisicio ,set si clerici ignorabaut de ponendo reetam datam, propter hoc non fuerunt breciavitiosa; quiain cancellariaetalibi in unaet eadem die unus clericus panat imamdatam etaliusaliam.

AFFENDIK I

THE PASSION OF THE JUDGFS

Trm Narratio de Passione Jm ticùwiomm here appended is an inferesting example of modisaval satiro. Some quick—witted clark, struck bythe crisis of 1289, has narrated the events of the year in mook parable.

Using his exten sive kn owledge of Scripture phrase and story, he haswovenan elaborate narrative, where culprits and kingalike appear inScriptural guisa. The solemn mockery of the result produced is

ingenious as it is profane ; as well worth reading as impossible of

translation . The introduction of characters, the play upon names,the twisting of well-known phrases to suit the purpose of the tale,aremanaged with skill, and produce a°616V61', if extraordinary, medley.

Incidentally the parody shows how little basis there is to the popularview that the middleages had butaslightacqmin tanee with the Bible.

The Passion is to be found in two manuscripts. The first is in

the BritishMuseum, Add.MSS. 81826, i. 54 ; the second in All Souls

College, Oxford,MS. 89, i . 109b.

‘ In each case the volume where the

Passion occurs is made up of miscellaneous documen ts not connectedwith it save in boing of roughly the same date. The main part of theBritishMuseum volume isayearbook of law casos, 28- 84 Edw . 1. It iS

notable thatalsoamong its contentsare the treatises HenghamMagnaandHenghamParra,almost the onlyabidingwork of one of the greaterculprits of 1289. There isacertain irony in this juxtaposition of enduringworkand enduringdisgrace. The All Souls volume containsmore general

The latter is perhapsacopy of the former, for certain sentencesare omittedwith detriment to the sense : or, more probably, both are derived from the samesource, which we have not found.

matter— lists of kings, & C. It is possible that our unknown clark isnot to be unduly praised for his originality. The form of satire inwhich ho couchod his story was neither unknown nor distasteful to theages of faith,and seems to have been especially popular in England,where, for example, athirteenth-cen tury parody of St. Luke’

s Gospeltells the story of drunken king namedWernardusand his companions,while afourteen th—centuryMissa. de Potatoribus m similar fashionparodies the service of theMass.

‘ Another almost contemporaryexample of asimilar Passion with an historical basis is preservedfor us in the Passio Scotomm Perjnm tomm, awould-be comic narrative of events between February 1806and February 1807 which hasbeen published with notes by the lateMarquess of Buto.

‘ -A third

con temporary instance can be read in the Chron icle of Adam of Usk,‘

where the story of the battle of Courtrai (1802) is toldafter the sameprofane fashion . Adam of Usk himself was so much impressed by thisliterary venture, which ho discovered ahun dred years after the battleamong the chronicles of the monastery of Eeckhout, near Bruges, that,regardless of its irrolevance, ho thought it -worthy of transcription intohis work. We mayalmost in for from this that by the early fifteenthcentury such satires had se far caused to be commonly employed thatthey were regardedas literary enfi ositios.

In preparing the text the BritishMuseumMS. has been followedas the most generally trustworthy. Varian ts in the All SoulsMS.

are noted at the foot of the page, except where they are merely thearrangemen t of the same words in differen t order. In the footnotes

the manuscripts are distinguishedas Aand B, the former representingthe BritishMuseum copy, the latter the All Souls manuscript.
