SHERIFFS' RETURNS OF THE NOMINA VILLARUM
Description

Nomina villarum rolls (E 370/2/1-9): these are rolls containing the few surviving returns to writs issued in 9 Edward II to all sheriffs, directing them to certify to the Exchequer the number of hundreds and wapentakes within their bailiwicks, what cities, boroughs and townships there were within each such hundred or wapentake and who were their lords. The information was required for the purpose of the military levies granted in parliament in 9 Edward II, when it was directed that one man-at-arms should be raised from each township.
