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.
