Catalogue description EVIDENCES OF TITLE

Transcripts and copies of evidence of title would, presumably, have been drawn up and used by the Duchy office in the day to day administration of the Duchy and in order to protect its claims and rights. They relate, therefore, to the Lancaster in heritance and to those in heritances that feel into it prior to 1399: those of the De Ferrers, De Lacy, De Warenne and De Bohun families.
