Summary

This volume contains papers delivered at the twelfth ‘Thirteenth Century England’ conference held at Gregynog Hall, Powys, in September 2007, the second occasion on which the colloquium had been hosted jointly by the Department of History and Welsh History at Aberystwyth University and the Department of History at University of Wales, Lampeter. As in 2005, attendance at the conference was a reflection of the wide interest in England and its neighbours in the ‘long’ thirteenth century, with delegates from Germany, France and Norway as well as from across Britain.

An innovation in this volume of the proceedings is the institution of a section ‘Notes and Documents’, which is designed to allow the inclusion of shorter papers relating to particularly significant documents and records, or to details of the careers or families of individuals. It allows, inter alia, publication of project reports in ways that encourage a general reflection on their worth, and will, it is hoped, direct other researchers to areas of significant new research. In this section, for example, Susan Stewart discusses one assize roll, JUST 1/1197, covering the period July 1264 to June 1265, which she considers for the light it sheds on the career of the“ seemingly hard-working and energetic royal justice Gilbert de Preston, whose itinerary and activities can be traced through the membranes of this roll.
