INTRODUCTION.
The Pedigrees in this Volume have been collected by me between
the years 1880-1904, whilst engaged in searching the Plea Rolls
in the Public Record Office for materialsfora Historyof Stafford-
shire. In the process of examining the Rolls for this purpose,
I have come frequently across suits which were of considerable
interest for the historyof other counties,and at the request of the
late Mr. Walford Selby of the Record Office, who at that date was
editing the New Series of the Genealogist, they were published in
that Journal. These Pleas will be found between the pages 1 to
511 of the Volume, and were printed in Volumes VII to XXI
under the Editorship of Mr. Keith Murray and Mr. Forsyth
Harwood.
The suits from pages 512 to 528 are taken from Bracton's Note
Book in the British Museum (Additional MS. 12269). and were
printed originally in-Volumes V and VI of the Genealogist, New
Series, whilst it was under the editorship of Mr. Selby. An
account of this Note Book was communicated by me to the
Genealogist in 1884 and will be found in Volume II, New Series.
It was afterwards printed by Mr. F. W. Maitland, and reference
should be made to his work for the full text of the suits named
in it, for many of the Rolls from which the suits were taken are
no longer to be found at the Record Office.
The suits from page 528 to the end of the volume were
printed in the Reliquary and Antiquary at an earlier date than
the others. They have been added to this Volume in order to
makethecollection complete : unfortunately,I made no systematic
notes of suits relating to other counties besides Staffi)rdshire
anterior to the reign of Edward III and the suits of an earlier
date than 1327 are few and far between. If another antiquarian
student should therefore follow in my footsteps, he will find
ample material to reward him if he would deal in the same
way with the Plea Rolls between the years 1200 and 1327.
