Summary
The twenty documents printed here have been chosen to illustrate some of the features of twelfth-century aristocratic society that have been highlighted in the course of this book. With the exception of four charters (nos. 1, 11, ix and xx), they have not previously been published. The spelling and punctuation of the originals have been respected, but proper names have been capitalized. Conjectural readings are given in square brackets. I am deeply grateful to Martin Brett, who has been kind enough to peruse the texts and has drawn my attention to a number of errors of transcription.
