Excerpt from The Great Roll of the Pipe for the Twelfth Year of the Reign of King Henry the Second, A. D. 1165-1166, Vol. 9 Not the least curious point in this Roll is the almost entire absence of any Sign that the continued exile of the archbishop, a leading feature of the history in the writings of the Chroniclers, and in the development of national sentiment, was at all affecting the working of the govern ment. His property is in the King's hands, and his name occurs now and then in reference to sureties, but, considering the position which he had occupied four years earlier, he seems to be little missed. The students of the Pipe Rolls must by this time have learned the most profitable way of using them, and the great value of the incidental notices which year after year multiply and explain one another. In both respects the interest will be found to increase as the work proceeds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
