Reviews

Invaluable information for over two thousand individuals who surface in administrative sources from roughly 1100 to 1166... will occupy a conspicuous niche along with its partner Domesday People on the desks and shelves of historians of Anglo-Norman and Angevin England.
*MEDIEVAL REVIEW*

Remarkably useful.... A valuable research tool. An indispensable resource for anyone working on Anglo-Norman or French Society in the century 1066-1166.
*ALBION*

A very useful reference.... It will be invaluable for those seeking summary information, particularly about more prominent people.
*MEDIEVAL PROSOPOGRAPHY*

This remarkable book...is a really important work of learning. It should be much used.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*

While Thomas Hearne's and Hubert Hall's editions will continue to be used for their transcripts of other parts of Black Book and Red Book, Stacy's edition entirely supersedes them as far as the cartae of 1166 are concerned, and is a worthy addition to the publications of the Pipe Roll Society.
