Summary:

This publication is the third volume in a series that documents early heraldic visitations of the northern counties of England, focusing on the period circa 1480–1500. Edited by C.H. Hunter Blair, it includes a verbatim copy of pedigrees from MS. Ashmole 831, collated with MS. Dodsworth no. 81, both housed in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. The book provides detailed genealogical records of noble families from the region, highlighting intimate details such as landholdings and annual income, often collected through direct interaction with family members. It also explores the manuscript's historical significance as a possible precursor to official heraldic visitations authorized by the College of Arms after its incorporation in 1483. This scholarly work is intended for historians, genealogists, and researchers interested in medieval English heraldry and family pedigrees. Generated by AI.
