Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lost Certificates of Knight's Fees for the Counties of Nottingham and Derby: From the Copies Preserved in the Red Book of the Exchequer, With Observations Respecting Their Date and History
The Red Book of the Exchequer is a volume of rare value and authority, although it is admittedly only a copy of certain very ancient records which were kept in the Exchequer, most of which have long since disappeared. One only of the whole class of certificates of knights' fees has escaped destruction. Madox refers to it, and it can be found at the Record Office, Classified as a seal. In appearance, it in no way differs from an ordinary charter of the period.
