Pipe roll of the bishopric of winchester, 1210-1211 - R Holt

Excerpt from The Pipe Roll of the Bishopric of Winchester, 1210-1211: P.

2-22-159270b The object of this book is primarily to transcribe and edit the text of the pipe roll, and secondly, to estimate its importance as a source for administrative history in the early thirteenth century by attempting to describe the administrative machinery on the Winchester estates.

Using the text itself as a primary source, and where this fails, drawing analogies from other estates, both lay and ecclesiastical, at a slightly later date.

I have made no attempt therefore to comment on the economic aspect of the roll.
