Synopsis

Discover the governance and daily life of medieval Nottingham through authentic records from 1399–1485. This volume, the second in a series, presents a carefully edited collection of extracts from the town’s archives. Spanning the rise and fall of the Lancastrian and Yorkist eras, it illuminates how local leaders managed finance, law, trade, and public order. The book also includes English-language documents that reveal the town’s speech and everyday terminology of the period.


Readers will find a mix of official entries, fines, licenses, inventories, court actions, and notices that show how residents lived, worked, and interacted with the town’s administration. The editors provide notes and glossaries to help modern readers understand Middle English phrasing and historical context, making the records accessible to students and general readers alike.



  • Latin and English documents from Nottingham’s municipal archives, with translations and notes.

  • Insights into governance, taxation, and legal processes of the 15th century.

  • Records of public events, trials by battle, militia moves, and social life.
