It contains documents from the post-Conquest period up to the year 1230. Including deeds and grants, as well as records of serjeanties and material from pipe rolls and various other sources, it has been deemed second only to the Domesday Book in importance for its wealth of genealogical and geographical information. The various records were brought together in order to provide a convenient single source for establishing legal precedents, and it remained in use throughout the middle ages. This three-volume edition was prepared by the archivist Hubert Hall (1857–1944) and published in 1896. Among the various texts in Volume 2 are serjeanties, knights' fees, abstracts of pipe rolls, genealogies, and precedents.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Appendix to preface\u003cbr\u003e Serjeanties\u003cbr\u003e Inquisitions of knights' fees\u003cbr\u003e Inquisitions of honours\u003cbr\u003e Knights' fees of Normandy\u003cbr\u003e Abstracts of pipe rolls\u003cbr\u003e Constableships\u003cbr\u003e Wards and cornages\u003cbr\u003e Miscellaneous knights' fees\u003cbr\u003e Official memoranda, historical excerpts, genealogies, and precedents\u003cbr\u003e Farms of counties\u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913305907480,"sku":"9781108053259","price":46.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108053259i.jpg?v=1696747152","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-red-book-of-the-exchequer-paperback-9781108053259","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
