Description
This volume of documents in French and Latin contains a wealth of information relating to the administration of Ireland during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Excluding cases from the rolls of the King’s bench, which are in many cases too long to print, the more important of the Ancient Petitions relating to Ireland have been included, as have official reports by the Irish council, claims to franchises and requests for humble appointments in the government service. It is essential reading for any scholar specialising in the history of medieval Ireland.
