30 November 2010:
New material
On Professor Robert Palmer's Anglo-American Legal Tradition website,
images of feet of fines for Norfolk (1485-1509), Suffolk (1485-1509) and Westmorland (1272-1377) (368 fines) have been added. I have included links to these images in the Feet of Fines section.
In the Feet of Fines section, abstracts of fines for Lincolnshire (1399-1509) (620 fines) have been added.
I'm very grateful to John Schuerman for permission to make available here his paper discussing the Arches and Knoll families of Lancashire and Yorkshire in the 12th-14th centuries, who were ancestors of Lawrence Hamerton, the husband of Isabel Tempest.
