Early Yorkshire Charters: Volume 10, The Trussebut Fee, with Some Charters of the Ros Fee

This thirteen-volume series, which first appeared between 1914 and 1965, is an extensive collection of the pre-thirteenth-century charters and related records of Yorkshire, which had previously remained largely unpublished. The first three volumes were edited by William Farrer (1861–1924), after whose death Charles Travis Clay (1885–1978) took up the task. The series was well respected for the quality of Farrer's editing, which was surpassed only by that of Clay in the later volumes. Volume 10 (1955) is devoted to the Trussebut fee, but also contains texts related to the Ros fee. As he has done elsewhere, Clay has expanded the scope of this corpus to include some early thirteenth-century documents. The Latin texts presented here are accompanied by English notes and discussion of points of interest. The volume also contains facsimile plates of select documents as well as detailed indexes.
