The fine varied between a tenth and two thirds of their assets. They were also forced to take an oath to support Parliament, and could lose their estates if they re-offended or failed to pay the fine in full. Edited by John William Clay (1838–1918) and published between 1893 and 1896, this three-volume collection contains all the entries in the archives relating to Yorkshire landholders. Volume 3 (1896) contains abstracts of cases 313–677, dating from 1646 to 1659, although there were far fewer proceedings after 1653. The appendix includes the texts of the National Covenant (1643) and the National Oath (1645).\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Papers 313–677\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Index of places\u003cbr\u003e Index of names.\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":45913193578776,"sku":"9781108058728","price":25.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108058728i.jpg?v=1696747407","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/yorkshire-royalist-composition-papers-or-the-proceedings-of-the-committee-for-compounding-with-deliquents-during-the-commonwealth-paperback-9781108058728","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
