O. Prestwich, has been the importance of the king’s household knights. In his first book, War, Politics and Finance under Edward I, published in 1972, Michael asked and answered such key questions as ‘how were [knights] recruited for the household, how long did they serve, and what were their rewards?’ He showed that the knights, a body about 100 strong in 1284–5, formed the core of royal armies, and ‘might also be used on matters of state quite unconnected with the business of campaigning’.

  • From the King's Will to the Law of the Land
    FROM THE KING’S WILL TO THE LAW OF THE LAND: ENGLISH FOREST LITIGATION IN THE CURIA REGIS ROLLS, 1199-1243 A THESIS IN History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by PAULA ANN HAYWARD B.A. with Honors, Missouri Western State University, 2018 Kansas City, Missouri 2020 © 2020 PAULA ANN HAYWARD ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FROM THE KING’S WILL TO THE LAW OF THE LAND: ENGLISH FOREST LITIGATION IN THE CURIA REGIS ROLLS, 1199-1243 Paula Ann Hayward, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2020 ABSTRACT While regulations governing the use of Medieval English land and game previously existed, William I implemented a distinct Anglo-Norman version of forest law after the Norman Conquest in 1066. Forests as a legal term, however, did not solely mean wooded lands. Forests covered many terrains, including pasture or meadow. Forest law evolved from regulations that changed with the king’s will to a bureaucratic system that became law of the land. That shift came slowly through the reigns of King John (r. 1199-1216) and Henry III (r. 1216-1272). While discord dominated John’s relationship with his barons, once his son Henry reached majority he responded favorably to critiques of his reign by the nobles. The forest cases in the Curia Regis Rolls, litigation records from the English central court, highlight the complex legal negotiations between the king, the elites, and those who operated in the forests. Nobles who had access to the king’s court confirmed or maintained their rights to land and its resources through these suits.

  • PETER DES ROCHES, BISHOP of WINCHESTER, and the PAPAL INTERDICT on ENGLAND, 1208-1214 by James P
    PETER DES ROCHES, BISHOP OF WINCHESTER, AND THE PAPAL INTERDICT ON ENGLAND, 1208-1214 by James P. Barefield While in recent years the long struggle between John and lnnocent 111 over Stephen Langton's election to Canterbury has received much attention, little has been written about the roles played by individual English bishops in the interdict drama. There has appeared no "Episcopal Colleagues of Archbishop Stephen Langton." For some of the bishops the evidence is probably too scanty to reveal more than simply which side, or sides, they took; but this is not true for Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester, whose role in the conflict was often substantial, even at times propelling him to the center of the stage.' A native of western France and probably originatly a knight, Peter rose to prominence in English affairs through service as the principal financial clerk in John's chamber.2 His election to Winchester, forced on the cathedral monks by the king in February 1205, produced a dispute which took Peter to Rome, where he was finally consecrated by lnnocent on September 5 of that year.3 Remaining at the curia some months longer, he returned to England the following March. He brought with him papal letters to facilitate his full entry into the possessions of his bishopric, an indult forbidding his excommunication by anyone save the pope himself, and a special papal commission authorizing him to reorganize the collection of Peter's pence in England so that more money from that source might reach Rome.4 How diligently the new bishop prosecuted his commission is unknown; the only contemporary account simply states that the mandate concerning Peter's pence "was not admitted by the realm or by the priesthood."S What is clear is that Peter lost no time in reestablishing himself at the royal court.

  • The King John 'Town & Market Charter'
    1210: The King John ‘Town & Market Charter’ Background Following the Norman Conquest of 1066 the Manor of Axminster was held by the Crown until 1204 (see below). In the 12th and 13th centuries Kings of England were often short of the money that they needed to fund wars. This was particularly so in the case of Richard I (1189-1199) and the Crusades, and one of the mechanisms which he used to finance his armies in the absence of the political and financial support of his Barons, was by selling valuable long-term rights in return for a mixture of up-front fees and annual rents, something which his father, Henry II, had resisted. The ownership of Manors, and the right to hold regular local markets, were just such valuable rights, and after Richard’s death his brother John (1199-1216) followed the same practice. The Encyclopaedia Britannica (1963, Vol.8 page 461) explains it thus: “… Richard I and John found towns good customers, ready to pay high prices for charters allowing them to pay their own dues direct to the exchequer instead of through the sheriff, to hold a market and fair, to be quit of toll, and free to regulate their own trading affairs through their merchant guild (gild) and to have their own court of justice”. Not every town got the same deal, but several of the elements listed here formed part of Axminster’s Charter. As far as the local citizens were concerned, anything that weakened the manorial system, with its feudal obligations of labour and service, and replaced them with rents, tended to reward enterprise and to improve the lot of townspeople as a whole.

  • The Royal Forest of Leicestershire, C.1122–1235 Pp.137-160
    THE ROYAL FOREST OF LEICESTERSHIRE, c.1122–1235 David Crook The royal forest of Leicestershire had a relatively brief existence, from the imposition of forest law on the south-eastern part of the county, contiguous with the county boundary with Rutland, by Henry I at an uncertain point in his reign (1100–1135), until the disafforestation of the area in 1235 during the reign of Henry III. Because of the early date and relative lack of evidence relating to it, it has received scant attention from historians compared with that afforded to what was originally the private forest of the earls of Leicester, Leicester forest, and Charnwood, never a legal as distinct from a physical forest, in the north-western part of the county. Coverage of the royal forest in the Victoria County History is very brief, and does not give any account of its extent or the location of its boundaries.1 By contrast, the neighbouring forest of Rutland, with which the Leicestershire forest was always linked, and in many respects integrated, during the period of their joint existence, has been much more fully treated, because it lasted for much longer and is particularly well documented during the thirteenth century by two forest eyre rolls and one large forest eyre estreat.2 The Leicestershire forest played a not insignificant role in the history of the royal forest in England as a whole during the age of the Norman and Angevin kings, which culminated in the royal grants of Magna Carta in 1215 and the Charter of the Forest two years later, followed by their joint confirmation in their definitive forms in 1225.
