Description

Originally published in 1920, this digest of medieval records provides a source of reference for the baronial, honorial and manorial history of Cambridgeshire. It draws on materials including the Domesday Survey, the Inquisitio Comitatus Cantabrigiae and a variety of eleventh- and twelfth-century texts to produce abbreviated summaries of the feudal records of the county. It indicates the size of each county subdivision and lists the respective honours and baronies under which the land was held. An index of names and places, together with a general index, allow for easy access to the content. The book remains a useful resource for medievalists and local historians today.
