Page 2 - TF Tout, sagely observed that our natural absorption in the present has led us to study the past with minds too much set on present presuppositions. We seek in the middle ages what seems important to ourselves, not what was important to them.

Page 18 - SECTION III THE GENERAL SCOPE OF THE PRESENT WORK (a) The Chamber and the Wardrobe Seeing little immediate need from the administrative point of view to specialise on the study of the exchequer, and leaving to others the early history of the chancery, I have thought it most profitable to devote my own attention to the history of the household administrative departments of the wardrobe and the chamber. Some summary impressions of the results I have obtained have been published in 1914 in my book on...
Page 264 - Chaceporc's long keeperehip we are fortunate in still possessing continuous exchequer enrolments of his accounts from his entry into office on October 28, 1241, until October 27, 1252.3 It is improbable that Chaceporc ever accounted after this date, for he sailed with the king to Gascony on August 6, 1253, before the next statement was due. It is unlikely that he sent in any accounts from France to the exchequer, and he died, as we have seen, on the eve of the king's return to England. Moreover,...
Page 48 - Society to make these invaluable records more easily accessible. It is characteristic of the incuriousness with which these accounts have been regarded that, though it is more than 120 years ago since the first complete account of a whole regnal year was printed, this volume remains to this day the unique specimen of a published wardrobe account. This is the Liber Quotidianus Contrarotulatoris Garderobae anno regni Regis Edwardi primi vicesimo octavo, published in 1787 by the Society of Antiquaries,...
Page 11 - Baldwin rightly repudiates the view that the history of the council cannot be written ; yet it can only be properly focused when the history of the administrative departments through which it acted is understood. Here and there, for instance on p. 445, Mr. Baldwin gets very near the primary truth that the council was not a ' department ' but a body which had to do with all departments alike. His general trend is, however, to the contrary. It is true, then, that the definitive history of the council...
Page 216 - Church castles,1 seemed conferred merely to strengthen his local position as bishop of Winchester. To official rank, he preferred remaining the power behind the throne. In this irresponsible but dangerous position, he worked through kinsfolk and adherents who were mostly his own countrymen. Among those his nephew was the chief agent for giving effect to his wishes. As the revolution was a court revolution, it was fitting that the largest share of ostensible power should be given to a creature of...
