Excerpt from Le Strange Records

The present volume is an attempt to write the early history of the family from records of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries which have come down to us it is composed on the principle of printing original documents in full, and in the tongue, Latin, norman-french, or English, in which they were written. All dates have been reduced to the New Style, with the year commenc ing on January I, and place names have been generally modernized. In addition to the Rolls and Charters at the Public Record Office and the British Museum, which have been searched, con siderable use has been made of the family Muniments preserved at Hunstanton Hall. They are kept in a small vaulted chamber, originally the guard-room of the gate-house, built in the reign of Henry VII. It contains a large number Of early Rolls and Charters, many Of which documents were not noticed in the meagre description Of this collection, given in the Third Report Of the Historical Manuscripts Commission (pp. 271 by the late Mr. Alfred Horwood, who was only able to devote two days to the examination thereof. They were arranged, and a full Repertory of them was made by the late Mr. Henry Harrod, in 1869. The series of manorial Rolls relating to the Norfolk estates Of the family is extraordinarily ample, running from the reign of Henry III onwards, though of course there are many gaps in the series.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
