LRS-Vol-36
his study is of royal government in Lincolnshire during the years 1294-8, when Edward I was at war with Philip IV of France. It is based primarily upon the existing records (at the Public Record Office, now The National Archives) of a general enquiry, ordered by Edward in March 1298, into the conduct of royal ministers in the counties since the war began. This volume presents a picture of the war-time administration of Lincolnshire which was not so very different from peace-time administration save in the number and kind of restrictions and burdens imposed. There are vignettes of the lives of obscure individuals and the volume shows what affected the lives of the people of Lincolnshire had also a significance far other than local.
