Excerpt from Lancashire Inquests, Extents, and Feudal Aids, Vol. 3: A. D. 1313 A. D. 1355 The former document (ccxxii) is translated in the main from a copy in one of Christopher Towneley's volumes, now Add. Ms. 32103 in the British Museum. It is evident that when that copy was made, perhaps early in the seventeenth century, the original was in very bad condition in places, for several blanks have been left unfilled, which in some cases another hand has endeavoured to supply, and in various passages what has been written down is unintelligible. It begins with an error in the heading, for it should have read Extent of the Lands and Tenements of the Earl of Lancas ter, there being no Duke in t34o. Fortunately a large part has been preserved in one of Dodsworth's mss. (lxxxvii), being Copied from an extent made on Monday next before the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, 9 Henry VI To a small degree this extent records the contem porary holders of lands, but the form is that of the extent of i34o, and the bulk of the names of tenants are those which appear in the earlier return. The extent of 1430 omits many interesting details of the earlier return, such, e.g., as the names of the burgesses of Liverpool. No doubt in the time of Henry VI the burgesses of I 346 had long been dead and their tenements had been united or subdivided in many ways, so that the transcriber was justified in omitting them as of no value for his purpose, but from the purely historical point of view the omission is regrettable now that the original is lost. One portion of the record was again Copied in the sixteenth cen tury, and the ms, now in the editor's possession, was printed in one of the Chetham Society's M 2'scellam'es (old series, vol. For a large part, however, Add. Ms. 32103 is the only evidence, while the Dodsworth ms, where it is available, gives the better text, though not in the same order. In these circumstances it has seemed the most useful course to give in the present translation a reconstruction of the original when the available copy or Copies appeared erroneous and when from other sources the true reading was ascertainable.

D. 1333 This volume, being part II of Lancashire Inquests Extents, Feudal Aids, Rentals, &c., contains abstracts of documents XC to CLXX, and covers the period from 1310 to 1333, during which many events of striking interest in the history of the county came to pass. In February, 1311, died the great earl of Lincoln, Henry de Lacy, lord of Pontefract. Clitheroe, Tottington, Penwortham, and Widnes, constable of Chester and lord of Halton in that county.
