Description (What the record is about)
-
This series mainly consists of warrants under the privy seal, signet and sign manual relating to Chester and Flint for the reigns of Edward III, Henry VII and Henry VIII, together with the writs of general livery and ouster-le-main and licences to enter upon lands relating to Chester in the reigns of Elizabeth I to Charles I.
The records appear originally to have been placed in a series called Welsh Records: Miscellaneous Bundles. The earliest warrants are privy seal warrants issued by Edward, the Black Prince and Earl of Chester, the eldest son of Edward III. Later warrants are issued by the monarch or (infrequently) by the relevant Earl of Chester/Prince of Wales if such a person existed. There are almost no warrants surviving for the greater part of the fifteenth century. The latest date found so far is 1649.
