ABSTRACTS OF CORONERS' INQUESTS IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE:
21 EDWARD I TO 9 EDWARD II
(JUST 2/107)


Copyright Stephen Swailes.

This page contains an index of coroners' inquests for Northamptonshire from roll JUST 2/107 which The National Archives date from 21 Edward I to 9 Edward II. The roll includes the hundreds of Nassaburgh, Guilsborough, Wymersley and Towcester. Personal names and placenames are included in this index and brief details of events are provided in many cases. The roll is generally in good condition although some membranes are difficult to read due to damage and/or discolouration. Lists and values of chattels of suspected felons or of items that contributed to a person's accidental death are often given.

A few inquests, writs and appeals appear translated in Selden Society volume IX (consulted) and Associated Architectural Societies' Reports and Papers volume XXXII (not consulted).

The National Archives believes that JUST 2/120 and JUST 1/640 or parts thereof were probably originally parts of this roll.
