| Reference Number | DE/3/9/1 |
| Title | Hundred Court Roll for Dudley [incomplete] |
| Description | Lists essoins, distrains and amercements (with amounts and totals for each court). Each court was held on Mondays: extant entries survive for courts held on 29 Dec 1348 and 19 Jan 1349 (22 Edw. III) and 9 Feb 1349 and 2 Mar 1349 (23 Edw. III).
Endorsed: '19/36'
Note: Hundred Courts were held once a month.
Note on date: Edward III was the only monarch of the medieval/early modern period to begin his reign in January and reign for at least 23 years - it can therefore be safely assumed that the roll refers to his reign. |
