Detailed Description

Based upon newly-researched entries in the Plea Rolls held at the National Archives, this Supplementary Volume adds a further thousand new heads of religious houses for the period 1273-1530; plus surnames for over 250 for heads already identified in preceding volumes. Many of the new entries are to be found in exempt orders such as Cistercians and Gilbertines, and also among nunneries. In addition, further information extending the tenure of almost 3,500 known heads has been found, ranging across all orders.
