Step inside the council chamber, the market, and the courts of medieval Leicester, and watch an English town think, argue, and govern itself. Medieval Leicester comes alive here. Edited by medievalist Mary Bateson, Records of the Borough of Leicester, Volume II (1327-1509) gathers a rich primary source document collection drawn from the English municipal archives of the Corporation of Leicester. Charters, ordinances, and other medieval legal and civic records trace the borough of Leicester history across the later Middle Ages, revealing how power was negotiated, justice administered, trade regulated, and community life organised in 14th to 16th century England. As medieval historical records, these pages connect grand national narratives to the specific streets, households, and names of medieval Leicester England, standing among the most illuminating English local history sources for this period. Serving as both a reference for local historians and a resource for genealogy research, this volume opens up English urban governance and medieval town administration from the inside, through the words and formulas by which burgesses and officials recorded their affairs. Scholars of law, society, and administration, family historians tracing long-vanished surnames, and readers curious about everyday voices from the past all find here a uniquely grounded portrait of an English town. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this classic of archival scholarship is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, carefully returning a cornerstone of Leicester's documentary heritage to modern shelves.
