By examining these firsthand accounts, this book reveals the administrative practices, tenurial relationships, and economic conditions during this period. The records themselves were used for various purposes, including feudal incidents, wardship and marriage, and taxation, thereby providing a glimpse into the complex legal and social landscape of the time.
