Administering the Nation from the Thirteenth Century
In the first report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Record Office in 1840, Francis Palgrave addresses Queen Victoria, telling her that ‘your Majesty's Public Records constitute a series of unparalleled completeness and antiquity’. In this talk I will address the thirteenth century development of this great mass of administrative records in the Chancery and Exchequer, and the effect that this administrative state had on governance in medieval England.
Kathryn Maude is the Head of Medieval Records at The National Archives. Recently, she has been working on the history of Ravenser Odd, a medieval island in the Humber that appeared in the 1230s and had disappeared by 1360. The exhibition Ravenser Odd: The Sunken Island of the Humber is currently touring.
