There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • Who Was Who in Medieval Limerick; from Manuscript Sources
    Who Was Who in Medieval Limerick; from Manuscript Sources. (updated 22/01/2012) by Brian Hodkinson, Assistant Curator, Limerick Museum ©. (Changes since first uploaded to be found as an appendix) The following list is compiled for my own personal research into medieval Limerick and is offered in the knowledge that it is not perfect. I hope it can be used as a tool to kick start research into various aspects of medieval Limerick. The list is compiled mostly from indexes to calendared documents, looking up all references under “Limerick” or in the case of CJR the locations at the side of the text. Lenihan’s mayoral list has been avoided because it was compiled at a later date and cannot, for the medieval period, be shown to be authentic. In many cases, such as the papal documents, it is highly probable that there are extra references to individuals who started or ended their career outside Limerick. Some people are known to have played a part on the wider national stage, but only Limerick references are listed here. Bishops are listed in chronological order under Limerick. Where I have anglicised names, I have often put the original spelling in brackets afterwards, variant spellings are treated likewise, so it is worth using “find on page” facility. All “sons of” are listed under Fitz. Given the vagaries of medieval spelling it is highly likely that the same person may be entered twice. The list is there to be improved so if you spot errors, have reasonable grounds to combine entries or have extra references then please let me know at [email protected] If you pursue the career of someone in the list outside Limerick, then references in the same format can be added.

In addition, two inquisitions omitted from the former series are given at the beginning. The Inquisitiones post mortem, that is, those strictly so called (for the whole series are included under that designation), are inferior in interest to those published in the first volume. The details of the holdings and the services due for them are usually very meagre, and contrast unfavourably with the wealth of information afforded by the surveys made after the death of Edmund de Lascy in 1 248 (Vol. I., p. 47). So far as they go they are valuable as confirming and amplifying the conclusions which were set forth in the Introduction to the former volume. There it is stated that the normal holding of a tenant in bondage (bondus) was a bovate or oxgang of land. This is proved to have been the case by the surveys made at Nidd and Westwick near Ripon, and at Kirkby Knowle (pp.

  • The Society of Merchant Venturers’ Attempts to Obtain a Share in the Licence to Export Welsh Butter in the Early Seventeenth Century
    Alex Higgins Smugglers’ City Special Field Project 2009/10 The Society of Merchant Venturers’ attempts to obtain a share in the licence to export Welsh butter in the early Seventeenth century In 1531, Henry VIII acted to extend the prohibition and licence system by banning the exportation of livestock, beef, bacon, beer, cheese and butter.1 The Crown justified this policy by defining it as a preventative measure against „scarcity and excessive dearth‟ and the subsequent price rises that a reduction of the domestic supply of these commodities could entail.2 However, the issuing of licences to export butter and other commodities within just one year of this prohibition gives the historian an insight into some of the additional incentives for the Crown to adopt a policy based around prohibition and licence.3 At a time when the real value of some of the Crown‟s traditional sources of revenue from overseas trade such as poundage was decreasing, the sale of export licences constituted a means by which the Crown could increase the revenue obtainable from foreign trade.4 By only allowing privileged groups of merchants to trade in certain commodities, the need for merchants to actively pursue the favour of the Crown would be intensified and the Crown could thus be more confident in its ability to apply pressure to such groups to provide loans and to assist the Crown when necessary.5 Crown favourites and Royal Customs Officials also tended to reap the rewards from the issuing of trade licences given to them as a form of supplementary wage, the divisible and transferable nature of the licence allowing these individuals the opportunity to sell licences to merchants for higher prices.6 In the specific case of butter exportation, there are only two recorded instances of Bristol merchants becoming involved in the licensed exportation of Welsh butter during the sixteenth century.
