Study Number 4997: National Archives Class C.131 : Extents on Debt, 1284-
1530
Depositor: Nightingale, P., University of Oxford. Ashmolean Museum of Art
and Archaeology

This dataset is derived from a research project entitled 'The Economic,
Political, and Social Influences on Levels of Credit in Late Medieval
England'. The project's primary aim was to create a database which would
enable the statistical analyses of medieval credit, and thereby show the
principles on which credit worked, and to what degree it was subject to
economic, political and social influences; such as high mortality,
warfare, taxation and shortages of coin. As a secondary goal, the project
sought to explore what records of credit reveal about the changing
distribution of wealth and economic activity in England between c. 1280
and 1530.

The Class C.131 Extents on Debt consist of writs sent by the chancery to
sheriffs to enforce two separate types of recorded debt; namely, from c.
1310 (with two surviving records from 1284- 1309), those recorded on the
dorse of the Close Rolls and, from 1353, those recorded under the Statute
of the Staple. The writs include the names of debtors and creditors,
usually their place of residence, and the date when the debt was
registered, the date when payment was due and the date of enforcement. The
sheriffs record their execution of the writs (or the reasons for their
failure to do so) on the dorse, and those successfully executed have
attached Extents of the debtor's property. These provide information about
the social status and economic interests of the defaulting debtors, and
the degree to which their debts were secured, or not, by real and personal
property. They include detailed valuations of urban and rural lands and
buildings, furnishings, personal possessions and commercial stock.
