Book Description

Excerpt from Regesta Regum Anglo-Normannorum, 1066-1154, Vol. 1: Regesta Willelmi Conquestoris Et Willelmi Rufi, 1066-110, Edited With Introductions Notes and Indexes No collection of this kind can boast of being definitive. But this calendar embodies the results of considerable researches among the manuscript sources to be found in the Record Office, the British Museum, the Bodleian Library, the muniments of Lincoln, Ely, Canterbury, York, Durham, and Westminster Abbey. From the responsible officials of these collections the editor has received much valuable information and counsel; it is not their fault if he or his helpers have failed to notice relevant documents. Whatever lacunae may be detected in the calendar, he hopes that it will at least serve as a basis for future research. And it may be claimed that, even where the calendar deals with material already known and printed, it will be found useful as calling attention to errors of the printed texts, as correcting accepted dates, and as discussing the authenticity of questionable charters.
