Transcriber’s Note

Footnotes and index entries have been linked for quick reference. There are some index references to Statutes which are not mentioned in the designated text or note.

3 Edward I. c. 11, 433 n.
6 Edward I. c. 1, 177 n.
13 Edward I. c. 4, 247 n.

The entry for ‘3 Edward I. c. 41’ refers to ‘520 n.’ which appears in ‘527 n.

The entry for ‘5 Henry IV. c. 14’ in the index of Statutes refers to ‘425 n.’ That note refers to ‘1 Henry IV. c. 14’, which is most likely correct. One summary of that Statute says that it “abolished appeals of treason in parliament, and sent the accuser to established courts of law.” (Lolme, The Constitution of England, 1839, p. 137.)

Coincidentally, a reference in the index entry for ‘Constables’ refers to ‘456 n.’ No note on that page mentions that topic. However, the ‘Court of the Constable and Marshal’ is mentioned in the same ‘425 n.’, which is not indexed to that topic. We suggest that the reference to 425 n. was intended.

Lapses in the punctuation of index and footnote entries have been regularized with no further mention.

Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original. Those with a third number refer to the line within a footnote beginning on that page.
