The subject of research, connected as it is with Scottish history, is one which appeals naturally to a Scottish student of English manorial history; for although it is well known that the Scottish kings held certain lands in England during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries little attention has been given to the details of these holdings. The personal association of David I and his heirs and of the ill-fated John Balliol with the Honour of Huntingdon, the Liberty of Tyndale and the Honour of Penrith is usually regarded as an incident of feudal tenure, and the sojourn of the Scottish kings on English soil has left no records other than the allowances and establish- ments of the royal household.

  • From the Norman Conquest of England to the Great Reform Act∗
    How Merchant Towns Shaped Parliaments: From the Norman Conquest of England to the Great Reform Act∗ Charles Angelucci Simone Meraglia Nico Voigtländer (Columbia) (Exeter) (UCLA, NBER, and CEPR) This version: 28 October 2018 Abstract After centuries of stagnation in the “Dark Ages,” the Commercial Revolution led to a boom in economic activity and urbanization across Western Europe. The surge in trade and commerce that began in the 11th century was followed by the emergence of self-governing merchant towns. Soon after, these merchant towns gained representation in regional and national parliaments. This paper establishes the mechanism by which trade led to parliamentary representation, via municipal auton- omy. We focus on England after the Norman Conquest of 1066 and build a novel comprehensive dataset of 554 Medieval towns (boroughs), tracking their institutional development over eight cen- turies. We document a two-step process: First, inefficiencies in the king’s centralized system of tax collection became increasingly distortive to trading towns. In a mutually beneficial solution, mer- chant towns paid higher annual taxes in exchange for Farm Grants – the right of self-governed tax collection, cutting out royal officials. Second, Farm Grants were stepping stones towards represen- tation in the English Parliament: To raise extra-ordinary taxes (e.g., for wars) from self-governed towns, the king had to negotiate with them – and negotiations took place in Parliament. We also show that Medieval self-governance had important long-term consequences and interacted with nationwide institutional changes. Boroughs with Medieval Farm Grants continued to have broader voting rights in the 17th to 19th centuries, they raised troops to back Parliament against the king during the Civil War in 1642, and they supported the Great Reform Act of 1832 that extended the franchise.

    The Spiral Stair or Vice: its origins, role and meaning in medieval stone castles. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Charles Ryder February 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For all their help and support, I wish to record my warmest thanks to the staff of the British Library, John Ryland‟s Library, the University of Liverpool and especially the staff of the University of Chester; to the owners of structures with spiral stairs who opened their doors to me, especially the de Vere family at Hedingham Castle and Mr Louis de Wett and Ms Gabrielle Drake at Much Wenlock Priory; to the custodians and managers of historical sites and in particular the lady who gave me a private tour of Charlemagne‟s Chapel, Aachen whose name I never knew and Mr N Fahy at Castle Rising; to a number of members of the Castle Studies Group, the M6 Group and the Liverpool Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies who gave good advice that assisted in my research both when crossing muddy fields in cold rain to visit castles, in warm lecture rooms and by various forms of mail; to people in Japan and China who were pleased to answer my questions and send photographs and articles; to Jean Mesqui, who encouraged my early research and corrected my French writing; almost finally, to my wife who, enduring much, visited almost as many castles as me and developed a excellent eye – far better than mine – for spotting castle features; however, above all I give thanks to my primary supervisor, Professor Peter Gaunt, who was my rock in the storm and from whom I learned many things, not always related to history and castles.

  • Mediaeval England • Section X
    STUDIES lN THE CONSIITUTION OF MEDIAEVAL ENGLAND • SECTION X. THE REOORDING OF THE LAW AND THE PRIVY SEA.L Official records started to be kept at the end of the XIlth century, and to give a more exact date, systematic recording began in 1199. At first ali documents were done in duplicate on parchment membranes., and then sevvn end tu ead and rolled up. 'I'he duplicates were done on three separate rolls, i. e. charter, letters patent and letter close. The Charter Roll began in 1199, at which time the Chancery was becoming increa­ singly forma! and important, and thercfore less convenient With regard to the private affairs of the king. It was still part of the king's househo1d in theory at the end of the Xllth century, but was becoming more and more departmentalised and was dealing only with the most important public business. Early in the Xillth century there started the procedure of «going out.. of-courb, in other words a public department was introduced, a.."'1d this led to a new development in the official use of seals. In administrative business a ilif­ ferent seal was used for different purposes, as one seal was not enoug'h iıı large countries. There were three methods of clifferentiation: i) Pure duplicates, ü) Different seals in different parts of the kingdom, iii) Different seals for different departments. Of these i) and iii) began under Henry IIl and these had two dupli~ cates, one of which was kept by the Chancellor and the other by the Treasury. The latter was kept by the ChanceUor's clerk in order to avoid delay in transactions of business.

"High the vanes of Shrewsbury gleam Islanded in Severn stream H . A.E. Housman -iv- PREFACE. This thesis began as an attempt to relate the topography and domestic architecture of an English town to its general history, to see, that is, how far the present street plan and surviving buildings reflected the various stages in growth from its origins to the time when, with the coming of the railway, distant influences suddenly became more powerful than the historic regional environment, Shrewsbury was chosen because it has both a wealth of old houses and extensive corporation records which it was hoped would throw light on the buildings, in particular on their dating. The examination of records of all kinds proceeded intermittently for about three years, paralleled by an exterior survey of most of the town's buildings.

  • The Charters of the Cinque Ports – Are They Still Needed?
    Review of European Studies; Vol. 5, No. 2; 2013 ISSN 1918-7173 E-ISSN 1918-7181 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education The Charters of the Cinque Ports – Are They Still Needed? Graham S McBain1, 2 1 Peterhouse, Cambridge, UK 2 Harvard Law School, UK Correspondence: Graham S McBain, 21 Millmead Terrace, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 4AT, UK. E-mail: [email protected] Received: February 1, 2013 Accepted: February 26, 2013 Online Published: May 29, 2013 doi:10.5539/res.v5n2p90 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/res.v5n2p90 Abstract The Cinque Ports were a collection of ports on the east coast of England which - from early times - were granted, by charter, a number of Crown prerogatives in return for providing a ship service to the Crown. The earliest charter still extant dates from 1278. However, there may have existed charters granted by sovereigns to some - or all - of the Cinque Ports going back to the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-66). The original Cinque Ports were the ports of Hastings, Dover, Sandwich, New Romney and Hythe. To these five ports were added - probably prior to 1210 - the towns of Winchelsea and Rye. And to these were later added corporate and non-corporate members (or limbs), being other smaller ports. The heyday of the Cinque Ports was in medieval times when they provided a vital navy for the protection of the realm. Today, the Cinque Ports, and their charters, still exist. However, the purpose of this article is to review the terms and meaning of these charters, in order to determine whether they are now obsolete and should be cancelled.
