Medieval Petitions: A catalogue of the 'Ancient Petitions' in the Public Record Office
Primary tabs
Grant Holder:
Professor William Mark Ormrod
The series know as 'Ancient Petitions' in The National Archives: Public Record Office consists of 17,629 petitions presented to the English crown between the thirteenth and the fifteenth centuries, written in Anglo-Norman French, Latin and Middle English. They provide a wealth of unexploited data on the political, legal, social, cultural and biographical history of later medieval England and of its dependencies.
The 'Medieval Petitions' project will result in the provision of detailed search facilities for 'Ancient Petitions' available on The National Archives: Public Record Office website both through PROCAT (the Public Record Office's main catalogue) and Documents Online (which has its own search facility). In addition, Documents Online will provide facsimiles of the 17,629 documents contained in the series.
