Behind every lawsuit lies a story of land, lineage and trust. In the anxious years of the reign of Charles I, those stories flowed into the Court of Chancery, leaving a rich paper trail of petitions, disputes and settlements. Every entry hides a life.A Calendar Of Chancery Proceedings: Bills and Answers Filed in the Reign of King Charles The First (Volume I), edited by legal antiquary W. P. W. Phillimore, arranges these historical legal records and chancery court records into a clear chancery proceedings calendar, guiding readers through hundreds of surviving bills and answers. As a doorway into English chancery cases in 17th century England, it opens up strata of British archives collection material, from property and inheritance quarrels to mercantile conflicts and questions of equity.For family historians and local researchers, these court of chancery documents serve as unparalleled british genealogy records, preserving names, relationships, places and disputes that seldom appear elsewhere. For legal historians, archivists and students of Charles I legal history, the volume stands as a dependable scholarly legal reference and reference for genealogists alike, illuminating how equity was argued and justice sought outside the common law courts. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure, this carefully prepared edition returns an essential witness to the social, legal and economic fabric of early modern Britain to the shelves of readers, researchers and classic-literature collectors.
