| Abstract | Since 2005 an AHRC-funded research project has been rectifying an omission in the publication of the 13th-century English Chancery rolls by making available in print and web form the Fine Rolls of King Henry III (1216-72). This session demonstrates how this resource sheds light upon the rapidly fluctuating relationship between centre and locality in Henry's long reign, focusing upon innovations in the system of managing royal escheats, on the tensions resolved and provoked in the administration of the royal forest law by the adoption of the Forest Charter (1217), and on relations between England and Ireland. |
