Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Spanning 11 volumes, this book examines the origins and development of Pickering Forest. The Honor and Forest of Pickering was established in the 13th century when it was granted by the Crown to Edmund, the brother of Henry III. The grant sparked several disputes that were recorded in the forest's first Eyre, held in 1282. Eyre was a judicial inquiry where individuals presented grievances for judgment. This book contains the proceedings of the 1282 Eyre and two later ones held in 1287 and 1291. In them, the author argues that these proceedings offer a fascinating insight into questions of forest law and land tenure. The transcripts reveal the inhabitants' efforts to establish rights of common, avoid onerous service, and escape the many payments usually owed to the Lord of the Forest. The book will be of interest to historians and local historians. It also provides valuable information for anyone researching Medieval rural England's social, economic, and legal structure.
