A crisp, expert glimpse into medieval North Riding documents and forest law. This edition gathers original records that illuminate how royal lands, forests, and local power shaped life in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Through careful study of petitions, grants, and administrative notes, you’ll see how law, land, and people intersected in a dynamic medieval landscape.
The volume centers on the Pickering estate and surrounding forests, exploring who held power, how they exercised it, and what daily life looked like for foresters, tenants, and clergy. It highlights legal questions about land use, pannage, and perquisites, as well as the practical workings of the forest system in a shifting political era.
Ideal for readers of medieval English history, regional studies, and documentary sources who want clear, grounded context from original records.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Spanning 11 volumes, this book examines the origins and development of Pickering Forest. The Honor and Forest of Pickering was established in the 13th century when it was granted by the Crown to Edmund, the brother of Henry III. The grant sparked several disputes that were recorded in the forest's first Eyre, held in 1282. Eyre was a judicial inquiry where individuals presented grievances for judgment. This book contains the proceedings of the 1282 Eyre and two later ones held in 1287 and 1291. In them, the author argues that these proceedings offer a fascinating insight into questions of forest law and land tenure. The transcripts reveal the inhabitants' efforts to establish rights of common, avoid onerous service, and escape the many payments usually owed to the Lord of the Forest. The book will be of interest to historians and local historians. It also provides valuable information for anyone researching Medieval rural England's social, economic, and legal structure.
