Abstract

This volume completes the publication of a unique source for historians of the later medieval nobility. Household accounts contain invaluable evidence for daily life, diet, hospitality, etiquette, travel, the arts, politics, as well as for medieval finance more generally. Part 2 contains editions (in Latin, Anglo-Norman French and Middle English) of the accounts of a further 14 households, illustrating the full variety of texts to have survived. The volume contains two more diet accounts, six cash, corn and stock accounts, two cash accounts, and four wardrobe accounts. The selection includes special accounts for expenses on jewels, furs, cloth and armour. The volume includes a complete catalogue of extant medieval English household accounts, and a detailed index.
