- Summary:
-
Though known to historians for some years, the 1279-80 Hundred Rolls of Stoneleigh and Kineton, Warwickshire, have never been published. This volume makes accessible an important source for social, agrarian and population history, and provides a complete text of this royal survey, in some ways even more detailed than the Domesday Book. The Hundred Rolls provide a snapshot of a medieval landscape dotted with village communities, with peasants owing specific rents and a variety of labour services to a number of lords. The fact that these individuals are named makes this document an important source for the development of English surnames, then in an early stage of formation. An introduction places the survey in the context of Edward I's governmental activity, examines the relationships between the manuscript sources and suggests their provenance.
