Calendar of Fine Rolls. 301-R24 20:1-22
These books cover finances of the English Court from 1272-1509. Each book is
indexed individually. Wikipedia definition: “In general, a fine is an agreement
made with the king, or one of his chief ministers, to pay a certain sum of money for
a specified benefit. In some cases the sum of money was paid immediately.
However, in the vast majority of cases this did not happen. The rolls on which the
fines were recorded provide the earliest systematic evidence of what people and
institutions wanted from the king and what he was prepared to give.
Calendar of Fine Rolls of the Reign of Henry III, call number is 301-R 24 58:1-2 and these
are located in Norlin basement.
These books cover finances of the English Court from 1207-1272.
Calendar of Close Rolls, call number is 301-R24 11:1272-1307 and these are locate in Norlin
basement.
These books cover legal decisions in England, but have a fair amount dealing with
merchants of other countries. The close rolls of each king are listed separately in
Chinook – a title search for "Calendar of Close Rolls" will pull up all of them.

particular period, you can get the volume that covers the appropriate dates and it
