Publications of the Bedfordshire Historical Record Society Volume VII

The Publications of the Bedfordshire Historical Record Society, vol. 7'A calendar of the pipe rolls of the reign of Richard I for Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire 1189-1199', by G. Herbert Fowler and Michael W. Hughes. The calendar in English is preceded by an introduction which explains what the roll contains and how it has been calendared and analyses some of the information in the pipe rolls. It is followed by copious notes and a fold-out map containing a reconstruction of the hundreds of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire at the time of Richard I. The authors are careful to indicate that the hundred boundaries are approximations based on later parish boundaries and that the locations shown for vills are similarly only probable.
