Catalogue description Exchequer of Pleas: Repertories of Plea Rolls

Part of this series consists of repertory rolls running from 1412 to 1499, probably compiled shortly after the latter date. Each entry gives the county, the names of the plaintiff and defendant, the type of plea, and whether it was initiated by writ or bill.
